oops, that is the one I was looking at, no, not too likely, is it

he may not have married ...... his death certificate could give clues, e.g. if a family member was the informant

chrissiex, regarding finding his marriage in Warrington at FreeBMD, I found the following, but it is only 12 years after his birth in 1913

Cheshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1925
Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference
NEWALL Henry OAKES Emily Warrington, St Peter Warrington C28/4/264

Is this likely?

You're welcome ............ maybe someone will have him or his sons in family trees here at this website.

So he wasn't Harold or Harry after all !!

Giving the parents names at the outset would have been advisbale :-)

also two children's births

Had you even tried searching for Newall births with mother Mck*nna at freebmd?

Edward

Edward Report 8 Feb 2011 18:56

MarieCeleste, as he doesn't show on the 1911 census he must have been born sometime after that but before 1933.

chrissiex Report 8 Feb 2011 18:55

Harry is the most common short form of Henry

Births Dec 1913
Newall Henry Mckenna Warrington 8c 382

is that not the obvious choice?

Mike * Report 8 Feb 2011 18:55

The spelling a century ago was only as good as the registrar....

As you said yourself ...(McKanna on some records).

chrissiex Report 8 Feb 2011 18:55

Edward, trust people who know what they are doing

it is just as posible that Newall got misspelled on birth entries as that McKenna did

these are exploratory searches

maybe you would give ALL your information, like the birthdates of the siblings, so people aren't hunting and gathering pointlessly

Edward

Edward Report 8 Feb 2011 18:53

Mike, no, he was a Newall not a Newell.

odd, freebmd hid this one from me at first -- ah, it's the misspelling of Isaac

Marriages Jun 1907 (
MCKANNA Hannah Warrington 8c 274
NEWALL Issac Warrington 8c 274


it helps to say these tihngs

Edward Report 8 Feb 2011 18:51

Mike, that would explain it if he was christened Harold or Henry, unfortunately there is no one alive now who would know that.
