Joy,

You could try the buriel records at Kew. Other than that not sure where to go from here. Sorry.

Joy,

Will have great difficulty if he died at sea. Most ofthe records only start from 1854. Have found the 1841 census but they are numerous deaths in middlesex, none of which I think match yours (too old, too young etc). I'll keep looking though,.

Regards

Betty,

Don't think they would have married in Ireland. She lost her first husband in Jan 1898 and had 8 children by him all born in Birmingham. Rose and Michael had their own son in Jan 1900 also in Birmingham. I will check Ireland though. Thanks

Hi Christa,

Have looked after 1901 and still no joy. Me thinks they never actually married, although she did change all of her previous husband's children's names !. It says they are married on their son's birth certificate but you can never quite beleive those can you!

Hi Maggie

I'm just wondering have you checked after 1901 to see if they married later? Theres a very high possiblity they didn't marry at all but they may have done later than you're expecting them to have.

My grandmother was born 1905 & her parents didn't marry till 1907.

Hi Maggie,

Just a thought.

Alias - The Michael Carney in 1952 was the wrong one. Back to the drawing board. My Mum tells me she thinks it might be earlier 1945-47 ish. Any joy anyone?

Percy was killed in WW1. Maud went on to marry. She was originally GOLDSTRAW as was all the children before she married Michael. Not sure what happened to Rose. My Gt Grandmother was Phoebe.
