I am not seeing a marriage for a John E Waine to a Gertrude M

Perhaps Betty was not born in England or Wales?

PH marriage was 1908- to Gertrude Edmunds

Yep.......i see it now.

I wonder if Betty was the illegitimate daughter of one of the daughters (Gertrude or Kathleen)? possibly under Wain?

Gertrude Mary died 22/8/1969 according to probate granted in 1970. Her address was 119 Finstall Road, Bromsgrove, a widow. Estate valued at £1006.

Birth date given matches 1939 details.

Gertrude would have been 42 years old when Betty was born.......so i doubt she is the daughter of John and Gertrude.

thanks all for the info, will keep looking

Ian, how have you got back to Betty & John and know you have the correct one in 1939? It makes her 50 when they married, if you have the right one.

Have you got a copy of the marriage cert to confirm their ages & fathers details?

flip, betty is listed on find my past in 1939 as born in 1929 as betty waine/potter so I took it as she m john a potter in Bromsgrove in 1979, to me it fits

There is also the possibility of course that Betty was adopted.

Hi Ian, yes like you say it fits if 1939 was your starting point, I thought you'd gone back to them through descendants.

Wonder who the closed record is in 1939? Could it be another Wain birth - there's this one in the same reg district as the one posted by AustinQ as a potential for Betty:

Births Dec 1931 (>99%)

Wain John Wain Chapel le F. 7b 1194

This is probably the parents of Betty and John who were born in Chapel en le Frith, Derbyshire;

Marriages Dec 1928 (>99%)
Wain Alice E Wain Chapel-le-F. 7b 1937
Wain Robert Wain Chapel-le-F. 7b 1937

They has another daughter.......

Births Mar 1932 (>99%)
Wain Clara E Wain Chapel-le-F 7b 1230

So i would say the 2 closed records are Betty and Clara.

And I discounted the Lichfield birth too. It appears that Betty married Bronislaw Gidziewicz in 1949.

So no help there.

Just a point though- the 1939 register does not state relationship- so Betty could have been a daughter, niece, grandchild or other.

Hi Prickles - I was referring to the closed record you posted at 11:10. I believe Ian's finding her in 1939 was the starting point for his research?

Hi Flip

Yes i understood that.

:-)

I think a copy of the marriage record is needed here.
