Hi Penny, Thanks you found the Edge/Mansfield Marriage, I wasn't sure as at that time I didnt know the correct names. Cheers Lesley

Lesley has asked me about parents of Mary E. Edge and John Henry Mansfield who married 1919. I have advised her that I shall transfer query onto here.

Lesley, it might be that you need the marriage cert to get more information. But we can try first! Do you have any idea when & where they died? The index will show their ages which will help.

To everyone who has responded to my inquiry, I wish to thank you so much for all your help, without which I would still be in the dark. All the best Lesley

Hi Penny, you might be right about the marriage, will check it out, the names seem right. Thanks again, very much appreciated. Best regards Lesley

Brummiejan, I haven't searched for any children as I dont know many of their names so makes i a bit hard to know if you have found them or not. I know there is a Paul and Helen, think their mother was Elsie and there is an Irene but she might be on my dad's side. Will keep searching, thanks Lesley

Hi Penny, You certainly have found the lot of them!! Thanks so much!! And no I didn't about Violet at all.
although the name does ring a bell some where in the deep dark depths of memory. I was only 6 when we came to Australia so I do not know much. Amazing the information that comes to light with the help of caring people such as yourself. thanks again, best regards Lesley

Hi Brummiejan, yes all the rest of the family stayed in England except for mum (Ada Kelly nee Mansfield). The information you have provided is greatly appreciated especially about Mary & John, I can now add them to the tree and proceed further with my research. Thanks so much!! Regards Lesley

Have you checked for children to the above marriages? Births are now available on Freebmd up to about the mid-50's, though still rather patchy. Richard certainly had a daughter.

I assume the siblings stayed in England? There is this death for Richard I think:

Name: Richard Leslie Mansfield
Birth Date: 2 Mar 1920
Date of Registration: Jul 1984
Age at Death: 64
Registration district: Liverpool
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 36
Page: 457

And maybe her parents? I am thinking possibly Elizabeth was her mother's 2nd name, and Jack is usually short for John:

Name: Mary E Edge
Spouse John H Mansfield
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1919
Registration district: Liverpool
Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume Number: 8b

Hi Lynski, Thanks for your response, yes we have tried searching trees but there are a huge number of possibles and haven't had chance to check them all and thought I might be able to obtain some information from someone who may have already been searching for the same family.
Cheers Lesley

I am looking for relatives of Ada Mansfield born 5/2/1928. Parents Elizabeth Edge & ??? Mansfield (know as Jack). I do not have birth dates etc on the parents, however have several details on siblings of Ada.
Ada married William HT Kelly in 1951 and immigrated to Australia in 1958 with two children Lesley 6 & Barbara 3.

Richard Leslie Mansfield born 1920 & married Florence M Groom in 1940,
Helen K Mansfield born 1922 married Stan Clarke not sure what year.
Elsie M Mansfield born 1925 think she married ??? Conning and had Paul & Helen.
Alexander Mansfield born 1931
Harry Mansfield born 1933,
Charles W Mansfield married Mary G Payne 1958.
I think now that Ada Mansfield (my mother) has passed away that all her siblings have gone too and I am having trouble finding any relatives without more details.
If any one could be of assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Lesley Kelly daughter of Ada Kelly Nee Mansfield
