Yes, MC .....I've found this marriage it is to Pollie Jones not Mary!

Name: Herbert Buckley occ Labourer
Birth Year: abt 1883
Age: 21
Marriage or Bann Date: 3 Sep 1904
Parish: Halifax, St John the Baptist
Father's Name: Edwin Buckley occ Labourer
Spouse's Name: Pollie Jones
Spouse's Father's Name: William Jones occ Inspector

Witnesses: Rufus Buckley & Frederick Barwick

Frank, do you know the name of Herbert's father?

Thank you all for your help, I have recieved information from the daughter in law of Gladys and have been told who her brothers and sisters were, and who her sisters married. Amy was not mentioned but Marion was.
I worked back using Free BMDto try and find Marion Buckley and could only find references for a birth in Huddersfield in 1905 and 1923. I know Marion married Jack Thompson in Halifax in 1941 but if born in 1905 she would have been 36 on her wedding day. The Marion born in 1923 would have been 18.

Could be Amy's baptism:

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

Name: Amy Buckley
Birth Date: 29 Oct 1904
Parish: Halifax, Christchurch, Mount Pellon
Baptism Date: 27 Nov 1904
Father's Name: Pollie Buckley
Mother's Name: Herbert Buckley

Looks like they got in a pickle with the parent's names! Wondering if Pollie could be a nickname for mother? Father is a labourer.

Address is 8 Bracken Hill.

Thank you both for that very speedy reply, I think I've got it right there. Can anyone tell me whether Amy is likely to be another version of the name Marion ( I can't see it myself !) If not, Amy is a child I wasn't aware of. Thanks

Frank - do you believe Marian Buckley to be their daughter? Where did you get the info? How do you have such a wide timescale for her birth?

(Just trying to keep on the right track!)

I'm trying to verify the family of Herbert Buckley born c1883 in Halifax. His wife was Mary Jones from Wales born 1884 (they married in Halifax in 1904). If my research is correct the census would show Herbert and Mary and their children Mabel Buckley born 1907, Gladys Jones Buckley born 1909 and possibly Marion Buckley born 1905 (but she could have been born as late as 1923 for some reason in Huddersfield - I can find no Halifax birth for her )

I'd like to know If I've attached the children to the right parents.

Thanks for any help,
Frank
