If your mum went to school with her then it suggests Marjorie was born about the same year as your mum

have you tried looking for a Marjorie .with the different spellings too of the name, born circa 1932 in the same area as your mum

Hi all!

First a bit of background info for you! My Mum's Uncle Goddard Holding married Caroline Gillis in 1914, they had 2 sons soon after, Goddard Junior followed by William.

My Mum who was born in 1932 told me that they also had a daughter called Marjorie and they went to school together in Clapham. Marjorie had polio and sadly passed away in her 20's or possibly her early 30's. I was unable to locate a birth or death for her but, then to throw a spanner into the works was informed by another of Mum's cousins that Goddard had a daughter with another woman and his wife Caroline had taken her on as her own. Can anyone give me any advice on how I can trace Marjorie?

Possibly she had her Mothers' Surname?? I also discovered more recently that when Caroline Holding nee Gillis passed away in 1955 that her husband Goddard remarried to Ellen Goldsmith. Although both of Goddards' sons have now passed away I was able to contact one of their sons however, they know nothing about Marjorie! :-(

Any ideas???!!! :-))





:-D :-D :-S :-S :-S
