Violet M Quartly was born in 1913 in Rugby, Warwickshire and FreeBMD gives her mother's maiden name as Pratt. I believe her parents were married in Boston, USA, so if anyone can give me any further information on either the Quartly family or the Pratts I'd be most grateful. Thanks.

What do you believe are the names of her parents?

Have you contacted the other people on here who have her in their tree?

Thank-you

I don't know her parents' names, and no, I haven't checked other trees. Maybe I should have done that first!

Why do you think they were married in Boston?

Her birth certificate will give you both their names...

Have you got the 1937 marriage cert ?

When I put Violet Quartly into 'search other tree' it gives me 2 matches, but when I click on them nothing happens - the links don't seem to be working. Nothing new for GR unfortunately!

Is this her death?

No, I haven't got her birth certificate. A cousin told me they were married in Boston.

Yes, that is her death.

You need to send a message to the tree owner, stating your connection to the person and asking for permission to see their tree.

There are too many possibles on Incoming Passenger lists without knowing the names

UK, Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960
Fred Quartley 30 Sep 1909 Boston, Massachusetts, United States Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland
Maud Quartley 30 Sep 1909 Boston, Massachusetts, United States Liverpool, England and Queenstown, Ireland

Yes, I know that. But some of the links to get to the point of being able to send a message don't seem to be working! Maybe I'll leave it till another day!

Sorry - my post refers to sending a message to the tree owner! The incoming passengers look promising - I'll ask my cousin if she knows any more. Many thanks.

And Violet was born in Rugby.

Linda does not say they are american, just that they were married in Boston.

Thanks - I'll try 1911. I hadn't made any progress with the census as too many possibles - I hadn't realised Quartly was such a common name!
