I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT ABOUT MY GREAT AUNTIE MARGERY (MARJORIE BESSIE) BISHOP BORN IN SEP 1906. IN THE 1911 CENSUS SHE WAS LIVING WITH THE FAMILY AT 51 MAIN STREET, CADOXTON, BARRY. I CANNOT FIND OUT WHEN SHE DIED OR DETAILS OF HER DAUGHTER. ALL I KNOW IS MY FATHER REMEMBERS MEETING THE DAUGHTER IN AROUND 1957 - 1959 AND SHE WAS MARRIED TO A POLICEMAN IN BRISTOL. MY FATHER ALSO REMEMBERS BEING TOLD THAT MARGERY DIED YOUNG. CAN ANYONE HELP ME?

Start with freebmd........look for a marriage.

..........you can't hope to find her daughter or her death until you know her husband's surname

OR............. are you saying that the daughter was illegitimate?

In which case.........look for Bishop/Bishop births

What was the correct registered version of this woman's name?

Is this her birth?

Hello, Margery was born in Barry, South Wales. The likelihood is that the child was illegitimate as I cannot find a marriage for Margery. :-)

I have landed at Brassington, as a marriage but discounted - no death 'early'

In that case................follow the advice I gave in my first reply

Hello the 81 Main Street is correct, sorry I made an admin error of 51. I have tried all variances of Margery to see if I can locate her. :-)

No middle name registered at the time of her birth

Glamorgan Archives said that they do not have the records for Cadoxton Parish Church from 1899 to 1918 so they were not able to help. I was hoping to find the Baptism to check the spelling. Cadoxton Parish Church have not got back to me I have requested the information twice.

Hello Penny, that is Margery :-)

Can anyone find a registered death for Margery as I didn't find one :-)

There is this marriage in the right area but she could very well have moved by now.

Hello that does look quite promising...the Warrener surname I will check that one out, thank you :-) :-) :-)

Do you have any idea what the daughter's anme was? Was she the one who married the policeman?

Hi, I have no idea of her name, I didn't know she existed until my Dad told me a couple of weeks ago. I wondered if she would be called Margaret as that was popular at the time at a family name.

Hi, yes she was the one who married a policeman and they did live in Bristol.
