Hi John
Just to let you know I've looked thru the death index from 1937-1952, there's no sign of Jean under Teesdale or Teasdale. There's nothing on CWGC site either.

Cassandra :-))

Hi John
No I've never had to do that, when I found my grandfathers sisters family ( on 192.com ) I wrote them a letter enclosing a SAE. Luckily they wrote back! everythings worked out well.

I wish you GOOD LUCK whatever you decide to do.

Cassandra :-)))

hello cassandra
i didn't have a brother called raymond (i think) and thanks for the info on jean. im in town next week so i will look at the info for the birth of jean and also the info on the olive and james archibald marriage. i was also considering visiting a posible address for james archibald that sheila so kindly helped me with. has anyone ever visited possible family links, just turning up on the doorstep out of the blue.

thanks
john

There is a James Archibald aged 60-64 in Sunderland showing on 192.com as being listed in 2002-2007 electoral roll but there is no Olive Archibald listed.

There is a marriage for an Olive B Watson to James Arcibald in 1974 in Sunderland.

Could this be Jean's birth??

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

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(

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

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 :-)))

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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 ......
