Hi Pat,

Which direction are you going in?

I assume by the fact you know her father's name you have the marriage certificate?

Looks like the Edmonton one was in hospital in 1911 and this is her death

Hi Patchem and wayne & jax

thanx for getting back to me, i have got the marriage cert and it tells me the date she married and whom she married, and their ages, and her fathers name. Her middle name is emma on the cert.

Who were the witnesses and what was her fathers occupation?

There is no birth with Emma as a middle name for around that time so she may have changed it perhaps?

If she was born in Steyning, and returned to the area, there is this death, but wrong birth quarter:

This is why you need the birth certificate, and the proposed birth with variant spelling looks a good bet. Pity George is not showing with family on 1911.

patchem,

does what you have sent me correspond with what choccy has sent ?

I wonder why george isnt in the 1911 census, how do i know which birth cert to get.
Thanx for your help, i have been a member of this site for a while and tried once before but gave up. It so is not as easy as i thought it would be.

If her name is Winifred Emma, and she is definitely born in 1908, you need to buy Choccy's birth certificate.
It does not correspond exactly with my proposed death, which is why you need to find the birth, as I am more likely to be wrong. (Completely wrong death, Winifred married again, informant did not know correct date of birth.........)
What connection are you to her?
George could be on the 1911 census, just we have not found him. He does not have to be described as an engineer in 1911. Was he still alive when his daughter married?
Thanks

On the marriage cert her name is Winifred Emma Read, married in 1935 aged 27yrs, so from that her dob would be 1908.

Winifred married again?
I don't know if her father was still alive when she married.
I am her granddaughter.
Thankyou so much for your help

So did you know your gradmother? is that her death that has been posted in 2002?

No i didnt know her, and i think that death date is wrong

What do you know about her? did she stay with her husband or did he die and she remarry where was she last known to be living and when?

Why do think the death date is wrong?

Margaret

I was going by what patchem said about the death date

jax

she was with her husband up untill at least 1940, they had 2 children and then she left him. She was last known to be in london somewhere. Her husband died in willesden between 1970/5 i think

So there is the chance even if she did not remarry she could have taken another mans name

i suppose it is possible, so that means i probably won't be able to find much more about her
