Find Ancestors

hi again!
So i have found out who is living at the address she gives in 1939 and for 1938. there sint one for 1940 because they didnt take one.

Basically, im more confused now. obviously marjorie isnt listed as we believe her to be younger than 18, so unable to vote. however they list a smith family living with 3 other people.

Im confused and it hasnt helped me solve anything

Good luck with it Rebecca :-)

Yeh. i think the only way forward now is to just go to Halifax as you say. I have an address that her birth mother was living at at the time of the birth, that way i can find out who she was living with ect. Thankyou for all your help

Rebecca

The Scholefield /Hopper marriage they also had a son Ronald born Stockport who married in 1941 Bakewell....so that does move them from Stockport over to the right area.

Electoral rolls are available, as per other thread you would either have to go to Halifax or try phoning the library...might help to know who Marjorie was living with at that address?

Perhaps! Thanks.

You know census' and electoral rolls arent available for 100 years after, is there a way i can get hold of information about where they lived ect before the 100 years?

Now the Marjorie born 1921 Bakewell, mmn Hopper

likely marriage for parents?

Marriages Dec 1914 (>99%)
HOPPER Annie Scholefield Stockport 8a 113
Scholefield Arnold Hopper Stockport 8a 113

Which does give a family link to Stockport where the adoption was...??

thankyou for your help btw. im getting so stuck with this!

Not Marjorie K she died same year

okay. so we have 5 possibilities now.

B. 1921
SCHOLEFIELD Marjorie Hopper Bakewell 7b 1762
SCHOLEFIELD Marjorie R Farrar Bramley 9b 411

B.1910
SCHOLEFIELD Marjorie Halifax 9a 374

B.1914
SCHOLEFIELD Marjorie F Webber Ormskirk 8b 1750

B.1917
Scholefield Marjorie K Huddlesden Dewsbury 9b 793

Rebecca, you can I think eliminate the Marjorie born 1921, a tree on Mundia showing the parents that I PMd you has her dying in 1928. looks likely as this death in Bramley district includes Holbeck.

Deaths Dec 1928 (>99%)

Scholefield Marjorie 7 Bramley 9b 280

Rebecca I have sent you a message, with some details of the possible parents of the Marjorie born 1921, it may help with elimination if you can trace her forward.

excellent thankyou!

There is a tree on Mundia.com which has the Marjorie born 1910 Halifax on it, (as Marjory) there are a number of siblings listed, you could try contacting the tree owner and ask discreetly if they have any further info on Marjorie? where she lived worked etc might give you enough info to eliminate her as a possible?

how would I determine which one would be her?

I have found several possibilities. both mentioned are on my list. I just get stuck proving which one is the family. :\

Thanks for your help

There is this birth in Holbeck, I think that's fairly near Halifax? and would be more the age you thought perhaps

Births Jun 1921 (>99%)
SCHOLEFIELD Marjorie James Holbeck 9b 940

Oh yeh! Very true!

It says she was a jewellery packer, so i don't know?

Just a thought that while it might be more likely that a younger woman would have her child adopted, this adoption went through in the middle of the war so a single mum of any age would have found it very difficult if she did not have support.

Rebecca, does the place of employment give any indication of the age she might have been in order to have the job she was doing?
