Find Ancestors

I am trying to find info for my wife who was the persons grandaughter. marion marguerite was born in march 1902 married a thomas worrall from cronton in april 1928 at the time she was living at 53 moon street widnes she died in 1974 marion was adopted either at birth or soon after,i seem to have hit a dead end regarding research ,so if any body has any more info it would be appreciated especially if anyone remembers the moon st address and who else lived there at the time.

There was no legal adoption in 1902, perhaps she was looked after by a relative?. who is named as her father on her marriage certificate?

The birth reg'n will be on freebmd...if you purchase the cert, it will name her mother....at least. This assumes that the name you quote was her birth name..................

its been a while but i am still trying to trace marion harvey which we was not her birth name and we believe she was brought up by nuns in the liverpool area her birth date is 1st quarter 1902 can anyone help please as the place she was brought up is now probably not in existance

What name/occupation was on her marriage certificate:
Marriages Jun 1928
Cotter Josephine Knight Prescot 8b 1301
xxx Harvey Marion M Worrall Prescot 8b 1301
KNIGHT John M Cotter Prescot 8b 1301
xxx Worrall Thomas Harvey Prescot 8b 1301

Thanks

There is no obvious Marion Marguerite Harvey showing for 1911.

Keep being drawn to this one - can't find her in 1911 - can't find a death - can't find anyone with that surname in the Lancashire area.


Perhaps someone else can have a look to eliminate ?


Births Mar 1902 (>99%)

ADELL Margaretta Helena M Liverpool 8b 84

Very few Adell people around anywhere at anytime

Death was in Berkshire, but don't know if that's of any significance:


England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2005

Name: Marion Marguerite Worrall
Birth Date: 25 Mar 1902
Death Registration Month/Year: 1974
Registration district: Windsor
Inferred County: Berkshire
Volume: 10f
Page: 2167

As she was born late March, her birth may not have been registered until the second quarter.

Can anyone trace this girl in the1911:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915

Name: Marion Marguerite Horrell
Year of Registration: 1902
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Leeds (1837-1929)
County: Yorkshire - West Riding
Volume: 9b
Page: 514a

I can't see a census, marriage or death (but perhaps some better eyes can?)

EDIT: Snap!

Lea, I'd recommend you buy a copy of her marriage certificate (if you don't have one, to see what it says for father's details)

Oh well, Joseph - it least it's there for elimination purposes.

Possibly HORRELL Marion Marguerite Leeds in 1911:
HORRELL, Stanley Head Married M 39 1872 Retail Clothier Shetland Walls Resident
HORRELL, Marion Wife Married 13 years F 39 1872 Yorks Bramley
HORRELL, Margarete Daughter F 8 1903 Yorks Leeds
ELLIOT, Clara Servant Single F 23 1888 General Servant Domestic Yorks Pickering

pm from Lea:

"Thanks for your input on helping me trace details of my wifes grandmother there is no father shown on the marriage certificate which was on 14 april 1928 at st bedes catholic church appleton widnes in the district of prescot she died 17 march 1974 in widnes any more ideas would be appreciated as i am quite new to this"

Does anyone have any further advice for Lea?

i know its has been a while since i have been on but going back to marion harvey does anybody remember a shop on the corner of peelhouse lane and belvoir road named r davies wholesale and retail confectioner marion worked there in the 1920s it now called essential hair and beauty wholesaler also a reverend a harvey who on the 1911 census lived at 44 birchfied road on the date of census had 3 males and 9 females in the house but i can only find the census summary book so no mames of the people can anyone help it may be just coincidence with the same surname :-)

This is the 1911 for that address - the Minister and sons make 3 males, but there are only the 2 females

Earlier queries, presumably by Lea or his wife, about R Davies, confectioner.
No replies there, either:
