hiya

queenie barker married george wright in the 2nd quater of 1925 in poole dorset

do you know if queenie has any other middle names as she is down as Queenie P M Barker

If you need anything else just shout

James how do you know that is the correct one please?

jax

If that is her why the extra middle name??

Name: Queenie P M Wright
Death Registration Month/Year: 1961
Age at death (estimated): 60
Registration district: Thurrock
Inferred County: Essex
Volume: 4a
Page: 1113a

so age out by 3 years...yes the age could be wrong of course

Queenie may not have married anyone!

She may have assumed her partners name or indeed changed her name

You need to get certificates to try and rule in or out, what is correct and what's not

There is always a possibility it could be wrong but you have to rule everything out, you said that she went down to dorset and the only queenie barker i could find that married in dorset was the one i found

if you have ancestry then you can search bmds from 1916 - 2005 and that can help to rule anything else out

as for what ginny says about maybe she never got married i have done a search for queenie m barker deaths 1916 - 2005

and the only one i came up with for her year of birth was her dying in 1993 in yorkshire she either lasted to 95 without ever marrying or she did get married personally i think she did marry

Yes we have ancestry James so we know that as per the death I posted re Queenie P M Wright born c1901 ,but we all know that its only the informants word that the date is correct....I am not saying your one is incorrect but Extra middle name and year of birth not right it is questionable

jax

You missed this bit:


She may have assumed her partners name or indeed changed her name

Did either of the married Queenie's have children, if so, their names might be a clue.

There is this marriage

Name: Queenie M Blundell
Spouse: Bertie Reeves
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1928
Registration district: Saffron Walden
Registration county (inferred): Essex
Volume Number: 4a
Page Number: 1163

for which there is no Queenie M Blundell birth, and I also find no marriage of a Queenie M to a Blundell. There are 4 Reeves-Bundell births following that marriage (which should all be shown at FreeBMD).

Search for births surname Reeves, mother Bundell. Too recent to post here, for privacy reasons.
