Find Ancestors

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

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.

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

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

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 ?

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

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!

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

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

:-D

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

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

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.
