Carol I have just searched the full marriage indexes from 1960-1984 and there is no marriage for an Iris B Godfrey. Georgina.

Hi All Just popped up for a bath back soon watch this space Carol

Hi Georgina Its definatly Beatrice , have you read mhairi s entry Iris Beatrice CROWLEY could Iris have remarried i wonder did her 1st husband die same birth date 1933 mine is 1931 but 6thsept paws for thought Carol

Hi Mhairi Her married name was Godfrey, well i looked up amarriage for an Iris beatrice Bacon and it came up with mr Vivian Godfrey sent for cert and dads name was william Henry Bacon and as irises dad was a William Henry Bacon it all fitted the puzzle unless there are 2 iris beatrice bacons with dads called william Henry Bacon ,it is 99point9% certain LOL Carol

Carol there is only 1 Iris who had that birthdate and died between 1984-2004 but her middle name was Mary. Georgina.

Do you have Iris's married name? Mhairi

Hi Georgina Irises birth is 6th sept 1931 middle name is Beatrice Carol

Carol what is Iris's exact date of birth? Georgina.

Hi Georgina yes she married my g.dad in 1919in yarmouth had 5 children and left him after 10yrsof marriage to live in sin with william Bacon they had a child together called Iris b.1931 yarmouth reg twice under mothers name of mills (g.dad would not have been amused) and bacon so she obviously took up his name although they never married ,william had been married before also, with some help from great people on GR i have Irises birth cert and marriage cert and have tried to trace her but no luck she would be in her 70s but she is not on192.com so presume she is dead, and to searh her death would be a large span of yrs would be 1960s till 2007 i have tried everything i know Iris was married in Willesden and her son was born in Willesden 1959 but cant find him so you see i have not been lazy and have been doing this search for about 35 yrs and have got so close then comes a brick wall Carol

Hi Jennifer I forgive you, it was a task was it not, but you did it so quick i havent got broad band so it is sooooo slow Thanks again u r brill Carol

Sorry about the wrong age, I think I was starting to go cross eyed. Jennifer

I saw that one Carol but as the age was 50 I thought it probably was not her, could she have married someone else apart from William Bacon? Georgina.

Hi Gerri I thought i would take a look on Ancestry at it as i couldnt believe it and it is age 50 not 40 Carol

Carol The age on a death cert is only what the informant tells the registra.....it's mostly ever estimated. I'd risk the £7 on that one. It looks good! Gerri

Hi Jennifer Although there is a 2 yr age difference ,if nothing else comes up then i will send for a death cert as it will have her parteners name on it as there daughter would only be 10 , thank you for taking the time to do this , also he was only her partener for 10 yrs perhaps he didnt know her age or she told him a fib LOL best Wishes Carol

Here is a possibility. MILLS Annie, age 40, 1941. Dec. qtr. Dartford, 2a, 1528 After searching both Mills and Bacon form Jan. 1939 to Dec. 1944, this is the only one that comes remotely near the information you gave Jennifer
