ok,this is going to seam odd,and any help will be appreciated. my grandmother,was lorena hoskins. this is her married name to harry hoskins. we have tried to trace family trees,as anyone would,but it stops there with my granny. no-one knows her maiden name.it is bound to be on her marriage records to harry hoskins,can anyone help with this?she died in 1961,aged 48,so born in 1913(this will also be great if found) . she married harry hoskins, i think from hereford,and i believe this is where they got married. she was then involved with my grandad,her partner from malta, in 1938, having a baby in 1939. she didnt marry him,as she was still married to harry hoskins.so marriage date,must be around the 1933 mark. any ideas? thanks for your help/. jeana

Have you looked on FreeBMD, it should be there for that time

The baby born in 1939 was probably reg as Hoskins as that was her current name but should show her maiden name .Do you know the childs name

You must have at least one child born to that couple - can we have the details please which will enable us to trace back?

are you sure she was Lorena and not Irene??

Do you know if she and Harry had any children? The birth certificate of any of those would give you her maiden name ...

Was she definitely Lorena? Could that have been a middle name? Are you sure of the spelling?

Or Selina?

some feedback from Shane/jeana would help as floundering here for more info!!

Her maiden name will be on the birth certificate of your parent, born 1939.

Free bmd is a great resource but not many births from 1939 are yet on it.

If you send me a private message (click on my name on this thread), with the name of your parent, and I will look it up on Ancestry for you.

Shirley has got the hang of it. The child born 1939 has the grandfather's surname, mmn Beddows. It says Betters on the image, but there is a second child born with same surname, mmn Beddows.

She would been only 16 when she married if thats the right marriage in 1929.??

had a PM which waiting for a reply on before adding to the thread

EDIT I had that PM and advised it should be on the thread not PM.d Was waiting for a reply to say OK to add it .

New thread started by Jeana (I've told her to remove it).

hiya, first,thanks to all looking for us. now,it gets wierd. the death records shown,is that on her gravestone- lorena hoskins, newport. this was put on roughly 2 year ago. until we saw this name, we knew her as the name on her sons birth certificate. LOUISA. but..she had 4 kids with my grandad,not harry hoskins. on 2 of the kids certificates,maiden name is BETTERS on 1, is BEDDOWS the other is DAVIES.!!! im at a loss looking by myself,and close to giving up. as the war was on,she used diffrent maiden names-dunno why.any leads will be great. maybe the one name that came back may have been her.. irene as her nick-name at home was ene. she had sisters- queenie, lucy fawney and freedom,and at least 1 brother, abie. any thoughts?? thanks , jeana and shane

I think that Irene Beddows marriage is the right one can only suggest getting it and see what age she was Theres NO marriage for Hoskins to a Lorene

OR get the birth cert of the 1939 birth where mmn is beddows

Who organised the headstone?

her 3 daughters organised the headstone. the kids i knew of,my father in law,on his certificate is betters. one sister is also as betters. one is davies,the other beddows. as i say,until 2 year ago,we knew her as louisa. this is a challenge,isnt it?sorry

well her partner was maltese so maybe he called her Lorene instead of Irene

What was her christian name on the childrens certs ?

can i ask,is there a possibility if there is any records of a marriage in herefordshire,for lorena/louisa to a hoskins, with her surname VAUGHN.????
this may have been another possible surname,as it was mentioned a few days ago. thanks again all
