After contacting Gladys's DIL I now have the correct spelling for Marian (not (Marion) and her birth year 1920.

This came up with..

Births Mar 1920 (>99%)

Buckley Marian Jones Halifax 9a 779

Found her !
Thank you all.

Yes, thanks I've got it now that explains everything. :-D

Just to confirm that Polly is a commonly used nickname for Mary

Proves my long standing point that women are far better at multi tasking!!

runs for cover >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

:-D

Sorry, I'm being bombarded with help faster than I can assimilate it, and I'm trying to eat toast and drink tea at same time ! LOL!

Yes Frank - I explained that on page one. I actually have two names that different people know me by!

I'm getting confused now. Harolds wife was originally Mary, but searches showed that she was in fact Polly.
The two baptisms show both christian names for the mother of Polly and Mary for the children we assume to be sisters.

Can I assume that Mary=Polly and she used both names ?

AND this looks to be Gladys' baptism

Name: Gladys Jones Buckley
Birth Date: 6 Mar 1909
Parish: Halifax, Christchurch, Mount Pellon
Baptism Date: 11 Apr 1909
Father's Name: Herbert Buckley occ Labourer
Mother's Name: Mary Buckley
Address: 129 Spring Hall Lane

This looks like Mabel's baptism

Name: Mabel Buckley (image states Buckley)
Birth Date: 17 Jan 1907
Parish: Halifax, Christchurch, Mount Pellon
Baptism Date: 10 Feb 1907
Father's Name: Hubert Buckley (image states Herbert Buckley) occ Scavenger
Mother's Name: Polly Buckley
Address: 8 Bracken Hill

Well I'm clearly going to have to ask these questions from Gladys DIL, anything is possible hopefully that will help us find where Marion fits into the picture.

Harold was also born in Halifax so it looks like the Marian that I gave is not the person you were looking for

Looks like Harold was born Halifax, too:

Surname First name(s) Mother District Vol Page
Births Mar 1914
BUCKLEY Harold Jones Halifax 9a 678

Could they have had a quick trip to Lancs for an Oldham birth in-between?

There was another child, a son called Harold born in 1914 died in 1993, I have his details and I know who he married.
Thanks for helping me move this a stage further forward !

Frank :-)

As you are most probably aware, Frank, there are quite a number of Herbert Buckleys whose families were in Halifax and Oldham. What we need to know is what you know to be correct so that we can work back from that.

Frank - Herbert's wife IS shown as Mary on the 1911. Perhaps (like myself) she was known by more than one name?

On Gladys' baptism she's called Mary:

West Yorkshire, England, Births and Baptisms, 1813-1910

Name: Gladys Jones Buckley
Birth Date: 6 Mar 1909
Parish: Halifax, Christchurch, Mount Pellon
Baptism Date: 11 Apr 1909
Father's Name: Herbert Buckley < Labourer
Mother's Name: Mary Buckley
Address: 120 Spring Hall Lane

Londonbelle,

Regarding the Marian born in Oldham I'm going to have to ask for more details to try and clear this up. I have no further info at the moment to tell me if thiat could be her , but the mothers maiden name is correct.

There is this Marian?

Births Mar 1913
Buckley Marian Jones Oldham 8d 1153

I got Mary Jones by looking at someone elses tree, so it looks like they got it wrong ! I'm confident about Edwin and his wife, they are my great grandparents, Rufus is my Grandfather.

Yes Herberts Father was Edwin Buckley and his wife was Mary Harrison

Frank, the Marion born 1923 has the wrong mother's maiden name:

Births Jun 1923
Buckley Marion Jenkinson Huddersfield 9a 434
