Chris :)

Sorry Jackie,I was trying to explain that the Mabel Purt who died in Devon 1951 was not yours as she married a George Purt therefor her maiden name was Wreyford

Maryb.

Sorry I didn't answer last night was getting late, and have been at work today. Thank you all who have kindly looked at my question, and who have taken the time to help.
Chris, yes John and Fred were brothers.
Mary I don't know if Mabel, was married, don't think she was married to George Purt.

(looking at 1911 this morning, was John a brother?)

Well I have been through hundreds of Mable's none correct.

Frederick in WW1 his records state he is a widow next of kin his niece mrs Hutchinson 4 Church row.

1911 4,Church row
Walter Hutchinson
Annie Elizabeth Hutchinson 29 married 9 years.
She was the daughter of Fredericks brother George.

Annie Elizabeth Purt married 1901.

No children or wife mentioned on his records.
he fought in Galipoli got wounded later in 1918 he was a prisoner of war(not easy at his age) or any age come to think of it.

No sign of Emma's death.

A tree on Ancestry.co.uk has Mable having died in Devon ,but as stated above she was married to George Purt so clearly they have the wrong info!

Maryb.

Have you tried looking fir births for Mabel/Mable born in Bury St Edmunds reg district and following them up on the later census.

Chances are they didn't change her first name

Frederick Purt

When did Fred and Elizabeth marry . Is it possible she was Elizabeth's daughter ?

He may have described her as adopted rather than a step daughter

I think the Mabel who died in Devon was a married lady

As Jax says, there were no legal adoptions until 1927.

My grandfather was "adopted" by an aunt and uncle when both his parents died in the flu epidemic just before the turn of the century.

Could she possibly have been the daughter of a relative I wonder?

ok thank you Jax.

I couldn't find her after 1901 census Barbara, so not sure if she was married.
Her dad was on 1911 census, but couldn't find her or wife anywhere

If she is listed as Pirt/Purt on the 1901 there is not much chance of finding out her birth name .

As there was no formal adaptions before 1927 there will not be any record...normally the adopted children listed on the census's are still listed in their birth name

Did Mabel marry?
