Find Ancestors

I am at a loss as where to start looking for my grandmothers marriages. She was born Ida Burrows and married a Dennis andrews in 1934. This marriage only lasted a few years and at some time in the future she married again and I do not have his name. This one did not last either in fact we are not even sure it took place. I do know that her third marriage was to a David Edward J Ricketts but have no idea when it could have been as I beleive they lived together for some time. Any advise as where to start. Julie

Hi the marriage to David Ricketts , do you know roughly when they were together? Is your Grandmother still alive? Val

Hi Val, No my gran is not alive now and much of what we have is second hand info. When she left her first husband she lost contact with her family as well. I beleive she was with David in the sixties and they were together until there deaths in the ninties. They also moved around a lot from cheshire to glasgow to london, brixham and north wales to name but a few places. Julie

Hi Julie Which of these 2 was your grandmother?

Hi David's death Deaths RICKETTS, DAVID EDWARD J 6 October 1920 ANGLESEY 1996 August District No 8571 Reg No 32A Ent No 134 Dor 896 Val

Hi Val The second one in bangor was my gran and david was angelsey. Julie.

Just thinking through your situation. Did David & Ida have children? How are you related to Ida? What other info do you have about Ida, did she have siblings etc? Val

I Have the birth and death deatails for both of them and grans siblings. Her first marriage produced one child, my mother and ther are two other children. Michael and Jennifer who I know nothing about. They are a lot younger than my mother but I do not know what name they were born under or where. My mum is not around anymore to ask so what I have is snippetts of memory. Julie

Hi have you looked through the Marriages, 1935 onwards? When roughly were Michael & Jennifer born? Val

michael and jennifer I think were born sometime in the late 40s ealy fifities. I have not looked through the marriages as I do not know where to start. It looks like this is the only option open to me and will take forever to troll through which is why I was hoping for a simplar solution. Julie

Hi more complications. I searched 1951 back to 1946 marriages. Found a marriage for Ida Burrows in Jun 1946 and on 1837.com the spouse's name looks like TEYLOR Mansfield 7b 191 but on familyrelatives it is TAYLOR. Cannot find a marriage for TEYLOR to a Burrows on 1837 so assume it must be TAYLOR. Trawled through Jun 1946 , seven look ups, to find Lancelot G Taylor married to a Burrows Mansfield 7b 190 not 191. I would order the Burrows marriage cert from Ida's info Mansfield 7b 191 Jun 1946 and see who that Ida married. Val

Hi Val, Thank you for trying, but would her next marriage not be listed under Andrews? Julie

Hi Val, I have been trawling on ancestry in the other direction from 1975 and found David E Ricketts married a lindley in 1962. Checked under the Lindley and its an Ida. This must be the one. Now to find her second marriage to a Lindley. My eyes are crossed. Many thanks for your help. Julie

Have you found marriage to Lindley yet?? Marie

Hi Marie Not yet. I have got as far back as 1941 and stopped as I remember my mother saying she was about 5 when her mother left. She went to Glasgow so its possible the marriage was there. My eyes are so crossed I may well have missed it so now I am seaching for the birth of a michael lindley. Julie

I couldn't find it either. What dates have you got for Michael??

Michael Lindley (mmn Burrows) 1946 Q1 - Bangor 11b 525

Hi Marie, Just found that one myself and there is one listed on this sight so have sent a message. I might be lucky but I would have thought that they would also have my gran listed and so far I am the only one. Will check the marriage list again for that time. Julie

Jennifer Lindley (mmn Burrows) 1949 Q1 - Bangor 8a 105

I could have missed the marriage, but to let you know checked from 1937 right through to 1960. Marie
