Hello Carole,

Thanks for your post.

These are the details that I found on FreeBMD for Serkner .

Serkner Phyllis Mothers Maiden Name: Smoloransky Whitechapel 1c 291

Births Jun 1931 (99%)
Serkner Barbara Mothers maiden name: Smoliransky Hackney 1b 686

Births Jun 1933 (>99%)
Serkner Beryl Mothers Maiden Name:Smoliransky Hendon 3a 674


On Ancestry I also found this :

Name: Gilda Serkner
Mother's Maiden Surname: Smoliransky
Date of Registration: Oct Nov Dec 1927
Registration district: Hackney
Registration county: Greater London
Volume Number: 1b
Page Number: 630

Beryl Serkner married Gert/Gerald Leyens in Oct-Nov-Dec quarter of 1950, marriage registered in Hackney - Vol 5c Page 1386.

Barbara Serkner married Gerald S. Richmond or Rubin (it states both on entry so not sure which) in Jan-Feb-Mar quarter of 1953, marriage registered in Hackney -Vol 5c Page 1543.


Hope this is of use for you.

As for Mark i cannot seem to find his birth or a marriage yet.

I will continue searching.

That is very generous of you Donna and I would like to take you up on your offer, when you have time. I am trying to obtain details of Zowie Barlow not sure of her date of birth but think it would be within 5yrs either way of 1976. I believe she married somone called Wardle since 2000. She was living in Sutton in Ashfield, Nottinghamshire in 2005. I believe she had a child in 1999. Many thanks.

Hi Donna thanks again for your previous help. I am still having problems with my husband's family. I have a baptismal Cert for his mother Theresa Parkinson - daughter of Thomas and Mary Ann Parkinson - formerly Armstrong. 12 July 1903. God parents are John Mills and Bodelia Armstrong. I haven't come across Bodelia in connection with Mary Ann on any census. Can you throw any light please? When you have the time - I can see from results that you have been excessively busy. Best wishes Chris
