I wonder about this one as another possible child of Rose?

I can't see a matching birth.

Rose M McDuff
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Rose M McDuff
Death Age: 0
Birth Date: abt 1942
Registration Date: Dec 1942
Registration district: Sunderland
Inferred County: Durham
Volume: 10a
Page: 575

I think that could be her Dea, she appears to have had another child - John who was born and died in quarter 4 1939 in Sunderland district.

Do you think this could be 'Rose' in the Workhouse in 1939 ??

I sent a PM to Elaine with the possible births, and she is going to suggest her friend buys one of them to check if their mother is Pauline. Hopfully the father (Mr Allen) will have a more unusual christian name or middle name to assist in locating them.

If you get this Elaine maybe you can come back to this thread to see if more can be found.

When and under what name did Rose die (you mentioned 2 names in your opening post) please? There may be a probate record or will that could be checked out.

No :-( all I have been able to find is her DOB; she was born in Sunderland, her Mother was Rose (lived and died in Newcastle) and that she had my friend in 1961 (put her into care between 1961 and 1966) then went on to have more children I know little else to be honest.

I can't see a marriage for Pauline in England/Wales, nor can I see a death with the correct dob.

The births are on the above free site. Just search for births under the name McDuff with mothers maiden name McDuff between 1964 & 1969 and you should find them. If you then click on the page number you will see each was registered under Allen, mmn McDuff as well. If you can't find them I'll send you a PM with their details.

One of their birth certificates should prove if it is indeed one of Pauline's children.

That's amazing! I couldn't find anything at all on BMD - such a novice! Thanks so much.

Your friend was registered in 1961, just under the name McDuff. The other 3 children referred to are possibly half siblings.

Thanks so much, will check it out but I need one of the children (my friend) to have a birthdate of 31.06.1961 - thanks again for being helpful :-)

Freebmd has 3 births registered under the name McDuff and Allen, so if correct would indicate the parents were not married but Pauline was going under the name Allen. Check it out, 1st born Lambeth 1964, other 2 born Southport 1967 & 69

Forgot to say, lived Newcastle upon Tyne (Rye Hill) for a period in the early 60s with her Mother Rose.

Looking for information on a possible marriage for this lady. Her Mother was Rose McDuff (Nee Ceigo - sometimes spelt Ciego) - I believe her father is unknown.

No idea if/when she married but is believed to have had at least 3 children. 1 born 1961 (surname McDuff), others unknown.

Would love to find living relatives for a friend of mine who spent her life in the care of the Nuns (say no more).

With thanks,
