the only Louisa Betters birth that shows is 1935 in cardiff so cant be your relation

who registerd it though, if it was dad then his accent may have sounded Beddows like Betters
especially as one of your children certs show mmn as Beddows

that Henry Hoskins is the ONLY marriage showing for Herefordshire

the christian name on my father in laws certificate was louisa hoskins,formerly betters. as i mentioned,any chance it was meant to be vaughn??

none showing for Vaughn/Hoskins

Mind you my nan was Emma Ann but her 2nd hubby called her Annie and thats what he put on their childrens certs that he reg ,

can i ask,is there a possibility if there is any records of a marriage in herefordshire,for lorena/louisa to a hoskins, with her surname VAUGHN.????
this may have been another possible surname,as it was mentioned a few days ago. thanks again all

well her partner was maltese so maybe he called her Lorene instead of Irene

What was her christian name on the childrens certs ?

her 3 daughters organised the headstone. the kids i knew of,my father in law,on his certificate is betters. one sister is also as betters. one is davies,the other beddows. as i say,until 2 year ago,we knew her as louisa. this is a challenge,isnt it?sorry

Who organised the headstone?

I think that Irene Beddows marriage is the right one can only suggest getting it and see what age she was Theres NO marriage for Hoskins to a Lorene

OR get the birth cert of the 1939 birth where mmn is beddows

New thread started by Jeana (I've told her to remove it).

hiya, first,thanks to all looking for us. now,it gets wierd. the death records shown,is that on her gravestone- lorena hoskins, newport. this was put on roughly 2 year ago. until we saw this name, we knew her as the name on her sons birth certificate. LOUISA. but..she had 4 kids with my grandad,not harry hoskins. on 2 of the kids certificates,maiden name is BETTERS on 1, is BEDDOWS the other is DAVIES.!!! im at a loss looking by myself,and close to giving up. as the war was on,she used diffrent maiden names-dunno why.any leads will be great. maybe the one name that came back may have been her.. irene as her nick-name at home was ene. she had sisters- queenie, lucy fawney and freedom,and at least 1 brother, abie. any thoughts?? thanks , jeana and shane

had a PM which waiting for a reply on before adding to the thread

EDIT I had that PM and advised it should be on the thread not PM.d Was waiting for a reply to say OK to add it .

She would been only 16 when she married if thats the right marriage in 1929.??

Shirley has got the hang of it. The child born 1939 has the grandfather's surname, mmn Beddows. It says Betters on the image, but there is a second child born with same surname, mmn Beddows.

Her maiden name will be on the birth certificate of your parent, born 1939.

Free bmd is a great resource but not many births from 1939 are yet on it.

If you send me a private message (click on my name on this thread), with the name of your parent, and I will look it up on Ancestry for you.

some feedback from Shane/jeana would help as floundering here for more info!!
