My grandad remembers her Maiden name as Wishart, not totally sure on the spelling though. They might not have married. Apparently Catherine remarried to a Mr Harper, no clue of his first name.

Thanks for your help.

Is this Gertrude?

Thank you for your help Rootgatherer. I have also looked for their marriage to no avail. I am pretty certain the parents are Benjamin and Kate(catherine) my mum remembers the childrens names of these two and they all match, also from the right area.

I don't think they married.

Do you have Gertrude's birth certificate to confirm her parents' names? I don't see a possible marriage for them.

Thank you Flick, can't seem to trace her marriage certificate on searches.

Catherine's father (if she knew him) will be named on her marriage cert

My grandad Wilfred Percival George born 1917 Westham? was an orphan after his mum died when he was only 6 weeks old. Her name was Gertrude George c1890. The father ran off so no chance of tracing him. Gertrude's parents were named Benjamin George c1867 from Biggleswade, beds and his wife Catherine Wishart c1867 from Falmouth, Cornwall. I AM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING CATHERINE WISHART'S PARENTS. Benjamin and Catherine brought my grandad up after his mother died. Catherine and Benjamins other children named, Violet 1891, Florence 1894, Henry 1897, Albert 1901. It is believed Catherine remarried after Benjamin.

Any information would be much appreciated.
