Oh! That's interesting. It looks as though "Bessie" was unofficially adopted by the Wrights. Henry Wright was one of the witnesses at her marriage to Walter Try.

Hi Gayle,
"Bessie" is a nickname for Elizabeth. So the 1888/9 "Bessie" married Walter Try.
I could be wrong,but I have a feeling she was actually born as:
Name: Harriet Elizabeth Hidden
Year of Registration: 1888
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Upton Upon Severn
County: Worcestershire
Volume: 6c
Page: 303

HTH,
Maureen

Thankyou very much for the reply, would it be possible to find Harriet (bess) Elizabeth Hiddens birth certificate with her parents names signed on there by any chance as that would be extremely helpful in discovering if her mum was actually Mary who married James and became the Hiddens.

MaureeninNY

MaureeninNY Report 4 Jun 2010 17:17

I think you're going to have to buy the birth certificate for that!

Maureen

Gayle

Gayle Report 4 Jun 2010 17:21

How would I go about doing that do you know?
Thanks for the speedy reply, much appreciated.
I'm wondering whether Mary is her mum and whether thats her first name or a middle name like Harriet Elizabeth is known by her middle name not her forename?

Hi Gayle,
Well,my thinking was that she dropped the Harriet somewhere along the line! I don't see another likely birth in the area.
You can order certificates from:

That's the million dollar question,isn't it!

I have a feeling that Elizabeth Wright may be Mary Hidden's sister. Finding a marriage to Henry Wright isn't easy!
What was Mary's maiden name? Have you found the marriage certificate for her and James?

Uh-yes-do get the marriage cert.
You obviously have Emily Maud*s birth certificate.

I'm still a little bit confused, Was Emily's Mum"s maiden name difficult to read?

hi maureeninNY

emily maud parents are James hidden/ mary holton and at time of marrige they were living at 15 populor rd sparkshill yardley.

im still lookingfor mary holton and where she lived before she came mary hidden,then i might be able to find out why
ELIBETH WRIGHT had bessie hidden living with her from the age of 12yrs

thnkyou very much for your helpx

MaureeninNY Report 6 Jun 2010 13:23

That is puzzling,Gayle. I just don't see a marriage for HOLTON and HIDDEN. But you say that at the time of their marriage they were living at 15 Poplar Rd? (or did you mean when Emily was born that's where they were living?)
I do hope that H.Elizabeth's birth certificate will shed a little more light on the subject.

Best,
Maureen
