Reinstating my thoughts that Maude Alice can't have married Albert Priestley in 1919 at the age of 13.

I originally deleted it as I thought I was having a 'senior moment' about who married Albert Priestley.

Perhaps Dee's posting at 14.55 will now make sense !

Private baptism often means the child was not expected to survive.

Choccy, you're right.

the little chap died and is registered in Sept 1905.

On the marriage for Ida she names her father as Edward!!!!

Loo,

do the names Benjamin and Edward Wallis ring any bells for brothers of your Grandafther??

Just to throw a spanner in the works (or this MAY help)
My mums mother was maried twice,,,,, on my mums birth record it says her mothers maiden name was feesey (first marriage)..... so maybe, if we look for William Wallis with the mothers maiden name as Westlake?? or a Westlake born with a mothers maiden name of Wallis?? was just thinkin lolol

No Dee, no one can remember names!! this is the thing that really annoys me! Surely you;d remember your aunts & uncles names!! But not my family!!

Olivia

Loo,

it's quite a tricky situation you have here.

The marriage cert of your Grandparents is going to help hopefully.

I think you may have to hang fire with everything else until that arrives....... with any luck the info on here will tie into that marriage certificate?? If it does then we can carry on, but if it doesn't it's back to the drawing board.


I'm thinking that mother Maude was not married to Mr Westlake for some reason (maybe he was already married, quite common practice, divorce was only for the rich!!) They splitup/ he dies, or something alike and she for some reason marries Edward Wallis in Goole, he then dies and she marries Albert R Priestley.

The children, including your Grandfather take on the Wallis name and marry using it???

Time will tell, fingers crossed.

Thanks Dee :o) I'm just trying to get hold of my mum to ring my other uncle! He may know or his wife (she seems to know EVERYTHING including the adoption & real names!!) but my other aunt wont tell anything & its frustrating! lol

Only 12 more days!!! I hope it turns up early coz this little riddle is beginning to really annoy me!! lol

Thank you SO much for all your help everyone, and I promise to keep you all updated :D

Loo

Loo,

Looking forward to you receiving the marriage certificate, fingers crossed that it's early and it all ties up for you.

Choccy, the Henry W G Wallis Death you put up, could well be him! He was in London at the time, and it was about 1968/1969 when he died, and on my dads cert it says Henry William Wallis, but his marriage says William G H Wallis........ I'm not liking this riddle much anymore!! lol
The Marriage cert will be on way tomorrow, so should be here by weekend :D :D Then I'll have fathers at least to work with!!1
