Find Ancestors

i am trying to find my sisters dob/registration or date of marriage. i lost touch with most of my family after being at sea for a lot of years. i have been searching all the records on here for 2 weeks and drawn al blank.

our mother was mary turnbull born 7/12/1909 but im almost certain we didnt share the same father. i was born 1936 so from my mothers age olive had to have been born 1925-1935. i know she married a robert kirtley watson but dont know where or when but i do remember they had a son terence watson in 1953 and died 1955 after being ran down by a bus in sunderland age 2. i have a copy of terence watson birth and death cert which is where i got olive and roberts middle names.

after their sons deaths they split and olive ran off with solider and robert died in a pit accident about 44 yrs old.

all of my family history, going back 4 generation, centres around sunderland, north east england. my mother married my father john george teasdale dec 31 1931but must of split up shortly after i was born because i remember living with my father during the war in smethwick.
any help would be grately appreciated
many thanks
john teasdale

OK found the little lad and his mmn was Turnbull so she was Olive Turnbull

poss marriage for olive

OLIVE B TURNBULL
SEP Q 1948
BIRMINGHAM
VOL: 9C
PG: 1397
SPOUSE: ROBERT K WATSON

CASSANDRA

So it may be possible that Olive went on to marry again....... so we are looking for a marriage for a Olive B Watson after 1955, but where not sure of an area, Marriage was in Birmingham but Olive may have married elsewhere ......

Have looked up to 1962 there are quite a few marriages for Olive all around the country but none so far for Olive B.

Cassandra

hello all and thanks for all the help and info.

i do remember my sister but unfortunately my memory now isn't the best. i remember the little lad as i was home on leave from the navy when terrence was killed and i attended his funeral. when i returned to the navy i never seen olive again but i do vaguely remember someone telling me around 1965 that olive was living in the sunderland area.

shirley i also come across the one in paddington and also thought it looked very promising as it is the only olive b i can find so i have ordered a copy of the cert, thanks.

cassandra, the marriage in birmingham also very promising as i do remember being sent to that area during the war. i will also order a copy of that cert and let you know how i get on. this information is a great help, thanks.

once again thank you all.

No marriages for an Olive B Watson till the end of 1968, would anyone else know if she remarried and if so when ?

Hi sheila

i don't know of anyone who would have any more info on her as i have lost touch with all that side of the familly.

if any one can help i am also looking for my other sister too.

she was taken away whilst i was still quite young as she had special needs and i'm not sure whether she would have been older or younger than me, or if her name would have been turnbull or teasdale.

she was either jean turnbull/teasdale. our mother was mary teasdale 7/12/1910 and our (father ) was john george teasdale 06/05/ 1909

due to the fact she had special needs she would not have been married or had any children. so would only be able to locate her from birth/death records

she could have been born in sunderland as our parents were married in dec 31st 1931 in sunderland and i was born in sunderland 1936. bt the family also has links with birmingham and smethwick.

judging from the previous searches olive our sister was born in 1930 in paddington ( i am just waiting for the certs to see for sure.)

once again thanks for your help

john

THINK/HOPE THIS IS WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR!!!!!!!

OLIVE B WATSON>>>>>>>>>>> B IS BIT BLURRED BUT LOOKS LIKE B
MAR Q 1974
SUNDERLAND
VOL: 1A
PG: 1751
SPOUSE: JAMES ARCHIBALD

CASSANDRA

EDIT: MAYBE SHEILA COULD YOU DOUBLE CHECK IT'S B

LOOKED FROM 1931-1935 FOR JEAN TEASDALE MMN TURNBULL NOTHING AS YET.
FOUND JEAN TURNBULL MMN TURNBULL BUT BIRTH WAS REG SEP Q 1929 SO TOO CLOSE TO OLIVE B IN MAR Q 1930

CASSANDRA

i do remember her being taken away whilst i was still quite young but im sure it was bristol and they had the st peters hospital there for disabled people etc.

it was bombed in the blitz in 1940 so there may be records of her there although only parts of the hospital were destroyed, so she may have survived.

been looking this afternoon but found nothing as yet

john

Hi Cassandra

Your right :O) if you magnify it to 150 or 200% it is clearer, thought I had found a marriage previously but it was a E not a B.

Anyway had a look and cannot find them together on the 2003 elec roll will send a poss address for James to you though John.

thanks for that Sheila. Going to have a look at more births for Jean. Whilst I've been looking I noticed the name could be spelt TeEsdale as well as TeAsdale AHHHHHHHH, if I don't come up with anything I'll look under the different spelling.

I don't suppose Olive had any children with James Archibald?? have seen a few births with MMN Watson but could be a coincedence as it is quite a common name.

Cassandra :-)))

John, do you have a brother called Raymond?? as I've found this birth

RAYMOND TEASDALE

I'm sorry John I think I may have found Raymond's death

HAVE LOOKED UP TO 1944 FOR JEAN CANNOT FIND HER!

CASSANDRA

Just had a look and in Jan- Mar 1932 there is a birth reg for a Jean Turnbull MMN Tunrbull in Hartlepool, could this be possible ?

Just realized you said you parents married Dec 1931 so cannot be her :O(

Hi everyone

just an update on the certificates i ordered the birth in paddington is the olive b turnbull i was looking for as it has my aunties address on as my mothers residence at the time.

she was born in a hospital for women and children in paddington, london.

as for the marriage of olive barbara turnbull to robert kirtley watson that looks spot on aswell. just need to have a look into the other poss marriage you found.

thankyou for all of your help with this

john
