In the 1911 census Stanley from Wem is shown in this family

This Stanley doesn’t appear to fit with your Reginald.
Reginald Healey who died 1940 (Dec Qtr Hendon 3a 846) was 56 years old giving a birth date of about 1884. There is a Reginald born in 1884 Oakham 7a 319 (county town of Rutland that you mentioned)
Your information from his marriage cert fits this family from the 1891 census

John Healey Head married age 49 Woodman born Hambleton, Rutland
Ida Healey daughter 18 housekeeper born Burley, Rutland
Philip George Healey son 13 scholar born Burley, Rutland
Ethel Healey daughter 11 scholar born Burley, Rutland
Reginald Healey son 7 scholar born Burley, Rutland

Now looking for Reginald’s daughters

Healey Arthur S McLauchlan Willesden 3a 335

Just a quick one before signing off for today. He was a Railway Motorman (L.P.T.B.) Sorry not looked into what the abbrv, means.

What was Reginald's occupation?

I have no idea which one could be connected to Reginald. But I'll contact his relative and see if she recognises any names. Although she would only have been a baby her mother may have talked to her when she was older. Thanks.

Have to go now .......catch up soon.

His father is shown as John Healey Master Woodman on the Marriage Certificate,.

If this is what you think is his first marriage............which woman was his wife?

Marriages Mar 1908 (>99%)

Healey Reginald Paddington 1a 48
MACLAUCHLAN Bessie Paddington 1a 48
McMORRAN Reginald George Paddington 1a 48
Wilder Agnes Louise Paddington 1a 48

I have his marriage certificate to Nellie but as I do not know his first wife's name I have not applied, all I am tying it up with is the marriage in Paddington JFM 1908

I wouldn't have thought so...........check any road map. there's quite a distance between the counties.

You info seems somewhat disjointed.........have you thought of purchasing the cert of Reginald's 1939 marriage to find out his father's details?

Reginald was born 1884 JFM Burley Rutland. 7a319

Yes it is, Thanks for the Wem, Shropshire bit. That ties up with the Rutland Area does it not?

This is the ONLY Reginald Healey on 1911 born 1884 +/- 1 year

HEALEY REGINALD M 1884 27 Fulham London
HEALEY CECIL M 1885 26 Fulham London

Thanks for the Wem reference, I assumed it to be Wembly. No you have not read it wrongly. It is that far apart. Thats why it is all beginning to be difficult to tie up. Even if my grandmother had them, which my mother said she did not, the girls came young into the household, my grandmother was 49 when she married Reginald.

Is this the birth which you say is Stanley?

Births Dec 1909 (>99%)

HEALEY Stanley Joseph Wem 6a 543 OR 643


Wem is in Shropshire

Although Nellie was my grandmother she also led a colourful life by all accounts. That was put nicely was it not.!!! The details of the two girls are a bit thin on the ground. They originally came to me via an Aunt and then I tackled my mother about them. She always knew them as her half sisters although through marriage they were not. She knew they were quite young but being a teenager at that time did not take the interest in them that perhaps an older person may have.

Anyway all this is sketchy, but when a seed has been planted you try to get to the bottom of it and I have been trying for some time to get a balance on BMD but nothing is tying up!!.

The reg district is shown as Wem not Wembly

Another thought I have been in touch with a relative of Reginald and knew Stanley as Grt. Unc. Stan and they lived in Willesden area. They Originally, that is Reginald, lived in the Rutland Area.

Ah Ok .that wasnt clear re your nan living first with Mr Higgins But still its a bit odd for Reginald to have two young daughters still at home in 1939 and If they were your mums half sisters then they couldnt have been Reginalds because he was no relation to her other than marrying her mother,OR did Nellie and he live together and have children before marrying in 1939?
