Find Ancestors

Hello All,

I am looking for three sisters who married prior to July 1932. I found some information in an obituary that mentions them.

Edith James b. 1893, Chesterfield, Derbyshire
Mary Ann James b. 1900, Chesterfield, Derbyshire
Rebecca James b. 1902, Chesterfield, Derbyshire

In the obituary they are listed as (not in any order): Mrs J Godfrey, Mrs J Peach, Mrs Gledhill.

I'd like to know who each one married and when.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

I think think they would probably all have married in the Chesterfield area.

Thank you,

Mary

Hi Julie,

It's quite a poor copy of microfiche, so if it matches all except the J, that might be okay.

Mary

Rebecca James is the Mrs Peach her birth was 15/7/1902 Chesterfield death was registered 8/1993 Ringwood/F

Hi Sam,

That's great news, thanks for the Rebecca birth and death info!

Mary

your welcome can't find anything at the mo for the other two as Edith and Mary are quite ordinary names.

Hi Mary

Just realised why they were J now..hubbys 1st names

According to the census, Edith James was born, Unston, Derbyshire.

The sisters parents are Thomas James and Elizabeth Vardy.

Hi Julie,

Oh Yes, should have said that! The J's are for the husband's names. That was the convention then (and even today for some).

Mary

Thats ok it me im not with it today

So the James/Godfrey looks good then

my MIL always addresses things to me as Mrs J and my name is Wendy old habits die hard x

looks good to me that means Edith married Mr Gledhill

This might be Ediths


Edith Gledhill
Birth Date: 24 Jan 1893
Death Registration Month/Year: Aug 1987
Age at death (estimated): 94
Registration district: Stevenage
Inferred County: Hertfordshire
Volume: 10
Page: 873

If this is Ediths birth then that will tie in with the above

Births Mar 1893 (>99%)

Nice quick job ! x

Excellent Julie!

That seems to be her. The quarter for her birth even matches the GRO entry for 1st Qtr 1893, Chesterfield.

So now we have matching:

Edith James marries ____ Gledhill
Rebecca James marries J____ Peach
Mary Ann James married John H Godfrey.

Now I know who they married, I just have to figure out when and where.

Thank you,

Mary

ok your gonna make me trawl through and find Rebecca's marriage now,better find my glasses lol

Hi Barbara,

Perhaps Edith and Rebecca married between 1929 - July 1932?

As Julie did find that marriage for Mary Ann James I think in 1922 to John Godfrey.

Thank you,

Mary

Sorry SamSpade!

Sam
