You have put 1963 in title, and 1863 in information. Which is it?
If 1963, what ages were the children then, babies or teenagers, as nothing strikingly obvious for wedding of Cyril Trott to Doris X and children of Trott and X. (And if only there 1963/4 where were they originally from?)
Thanks

Jan, David Sidney is Karen's father. Karen was born 1963, so her dad would be born around 1940.

Karen, I can't find any marriage of a Cyril Trott to a lady called Doris. Where have you got these names form?

Jan has put up Karen's parents marriage not Dad's birth.

Oops, I missed the wife, sorry Michael.

Barbara, I guess you have it. The two daughters fit. But not found a marriage of Cyril Edward to a Walker yet.

Sorry Barbara, got my knickers in a twist, but straightened them out now. I think we have the right people.

EDIT He is middle name Cyril on death.

Hi Madmeg

I put the death index on at 23-16--but at least it looks as if we maybe on the right track when 2 of us are finding the same info--Hope so --I found the Death indexs for Alfred C and Ivy E and agree with you that I also think its the same couple that married in 1938.

All the best

Yes his middle name is Cyril on Death index--lets keep our fingers crossed its the right ones for Karen--

This is going to be one of those "don't know for sure" situations.

Seems that David Sidney Walker was born to an unmarried mother, presumably Ivy Ena Walker, who shortly after married Alfred Cyril Trott.

I think the birth certificate of David Sidney Walker is needed to see what is on it regarding parentage. His marriage certificate will almost certainly say his father is Alfred Cyril Trott because that was the man he knew as his father, and he may have been his father, but he was not registered in the name of Trott at birth. I'm not saying don't get it, cos it might say something totally different, but if money is not overflowing, I wouldn't give it priority right now.

It is worth getting the birth cert cos I have a couple in my tree where the mother was unmarried and registered the child in her own name, but still named the father on the birth certificate. Of course, if he isn't named we are no wiser. But if he is, it could help us to draw conclusions.

Quite apart from the fact that Karen thinks his mother was called Doris, so even if she is unmarried, it should tell us that she was called Ivy Ena or Ivy at least.

Karen why DO you think the mother was Doris?

Mind you, I have a couple of Doris's in my family who were not registered as Doris at all. A Mabel is one. An Elizabeth is another. Where did Doris come from?

Madmeg Report 12 Apr 2010 01:04

Hi Barbara, after my initial mental block, yes, I think we have the same couple and the same outcome.

We need Karen to see what she thinks.

BarbaraFromYorkshire

BarbaraFromYorkshire Report 12 Apr 2010 01:10

Yes, but I would have got the marriage cert first to see if her father HAD put Alfred Cyril Trott down as his father--then at least she would know the birth cert for 1936 will probably be the right one for her father.
Otherwise the birth cert could still be the wrong one for Karens Dad,

Best Wishes

Madmeg Report 12 Apr 2010 02:23

I take your point Barbara, the marriage cert will at least tell us if or if not the father was listed as Mr Trott or not, and will also give Ivy Ena' s father who is as yet unknown.
