Doris Millicent Maw

Margaret Report 1 Dec 2007 00:51

Just received today a marriage cert for who I thought was a relative but on looking at the fathers name on this cert it doesn't tie in with what I've got.

All I had was Doris Maw and I looked on the Free BMD and came across Doris Maw married 18.6.1927 which fit around the dates I had so sent for the cert.

The Doris I have has father Arthur James Maw and mother Mary Ann Cryer - mum died shortly after giving birth in 1910.

The Doris Millicent was born according to the marriage cert around 1903 and her father was Henry Maw of whom I have no mention.

The link apart from the name Doris is the area of Barnsley, Yorks.
Can anyone please tell me anything about Doris or her parents - Henry especially as this could be a break I'm looking for with another family member.

Doris Millicent and dad were living at 23 Kings Rd, Cudworth at the time of marriage in 1927

Thanks

Just meddling around --

there's this one in 1901:

Name: Henry Maw
Age: 24
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1877
Relation: Son
Father's Name: John
Mother's Name: Grace
Gender: Male
Where born: Norton; Malton, Yorkshire, England
Civil Parish: Norton
Ecclesiastical parish: Norton juxta Malton St Peter
Town: Norton
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England

who seems to have married in 1901:

Name: Henry Maw
Year of Registration: 1901
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Malton
County: Yorkshire - East Riding, Yorkshire - North Riding
Volume: 9d
Page: 843

-- to Mary Margaretta Turner or Annie Louisa Cheese -- who might be a potential father.


But aha, Doris Millicent must be this one:


Name: Doris Millicent Maw
Year of Registration: 1902
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Gainsborough
County: Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7a
Page: 715


so it looks like she was actually a transplant, and this would most likely be that Henry:

Name: Henry Maw
Year of Registration: 1899
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Gainsborough
County: Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7a
Page: 1019

-- to Mary Elizabeth Carr.

And this would be a child they had after the move:


Name: Herbert H Maw
Year of Registration: 1916
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Mother's Maiden Name: Carr
District: Barnsley
County: Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 382


That's my theory, anyhow!

Mother's Name: Mary

Spouse's Name: Mary
Gender: Male
Where born: Haxey, Lincolnshire, England

Civil Parish: Owston
Ecclesiastical parish: Owston
County/Island: Lincolnshire
Country: England
Registration district: Gainsborough
Sub-registration district: Owston

Eliza Maw 16
Jas Maw 19
Job Maw 7
Mary Maw 45
Thomas Maw 48


So -- how'm I doing?
