Find Ancestors

Hi Genes members, I have in my tree a Joseph Wright Mason born about 1913 in Brentwood Essex England at least that's what we know. I have his children that's not the problem. I have him married to a Alice R. Kitchin in 1944, that info is all correct. I'm trying to find his parents and siblings if there are any. Can anyone help, as I have hit a blank, I'm not in Ancestry or Find My Past any help will appreciated and no one knows anything else in the family.
Jill

Have you got his marriage certificate????

That should have his father's name on it.

From the new GRO Index

MASON, JOSEPH WRIGHT mmn WRIGHT
GRO Reference: 1913 J Quarter in CHESTER-LE-STREET Volume 10A Page 1283


Chester-le-Street is in County Durham


Where did you get the Brentwood, Essex from???

Hi no I don't have the marriage certificate and I got Brentwood Essex from BMD records but I can be wrong thanks for looking.
Jill

??? possible siblings?

MASON, ELSIE MAY mmn WRIGHT
GRO Reference: 1907 M Quarter in CHESTER LE STREET Volume 10A Page 621

MASON, CLEMENT mmn WRIGHT
GRO Reference: 1910 J Quarter in CHESTER LE STREET Volume 10A Page 637

This is on a Public Family Tree on ancestry ...... you must check the informationout carefully!

The tree is for Clement
Birth 20 MAR 1910 • Waldridge Fell, Durham, England
Death AUG 1993 • Durham Central, Durham, England



Parents
Clement Mason 1873–1952

Dorothy Alice Wright 1874–1976

Siblings

Alice Maud Wright Mason 1897–1967

Eleanor Gertrude Louisa Mason 1900–1978

Nancy Mason 1904–

Elsie May Mason 1907–1982

Joseph W Mason 1913–


There is no further information on the tree for Joseph

If this tree is correct for your Joseph .............

According to the 1911 Census, Clement and Dorothy Alice had been married for 15 years, and had 5 children, all still living

Not sure but I just looked up the 1911 census for Elsie Mason and found the family you have put up but it dosen't prove this is Joseph Wright masons family, thanks for your help I will keep looking if only I could find the match.
Jill

Again, assuming that tree is correct

This is what they say about Joseph's father and mother


Clement Mason
Birth DEC 1873 • Witton, Durham, England
Death NOVEMBER 1952 • Chester le Street, Durham, England


Dorothy Alice Wright
Birth 5 APR 1874 • Ouston, Durham, England
Death APRIL 1976 • Chester le Street, Durham, England

I just noticed Joseph is on the Public tree in ancestry thanks just need to prove it.
Jill

That is why I said you have to check everything very carefully.

Certainly the birth registration from GRO for Joseph Wright Mason is correct, and that leads to the Chester-le-Street

Is there another Joseph Wright Mason??????????????????

Maybe, maybe not

Unfortunately, the GRO Index does not have the Joseph W Mason birth in 1913 Brentwood ........ and that site has the birth names in full.

"W" could stand for anything, unless you are absolutely certain sure that your Joseph was born in Brentwood

Have you any idea what your Joseph's occupation was???

This is a Joseph W Mason living in Brentwood on the 1939 Register

Coote Household (3 People) 10a Nita Road , Brentwood U.D., Essex, England

First name(s) Last name(s) DOB Occupation
Joseph W Mason 14 May 1913 Relayer L N E R Heavy Worker
Bertie J Coote 25 Apr 1889 Relayer L N E R Heavy Worker
Fanny Coote 10 Jul 1897 Unpaid Domestic Duties

He's single, and apparently lodging with Mr & Mrs Coote.

Many thanks for your help, sorry I got Brentwood England from family search but wasn't sure if it was the right one. I have messaged a family member and all they know is Joseph Wright Mason was born in Durham England.
Jill

so that is the one we have found.

It should be fairly easy for you to get the proofs now by looking at the censuses, checking GRO Index, finding the marriage of Clement and Dorothy Alice.

Good luck!

Yes I found the marriage for Clement and Dorothy, but the census only goes to 1911 and Joseph was born in 1913 but it looks like the right family many thanks members.
Jill

Sylvia where did you go to see the public trees in Ancestry, I just went there and I can see Clements name but when I click on it, it comes up with paying to see the record just want to prove Joseph was part of the family.
