Hi can anyone help. Delphine was the daughter of Marie J Davidson and William Westwood. I believe she married someone call West in 1952 Cannock, Staffordshire registration district and she lived with her mom and dad prior to that in Penkridge. i haven't been able to trace her after that. Grateful for any help!!

Looks like her mum remarried or she had a sister with the same name as her mum.

As she would only be in her 80's now, and so quite likely still alive, can you say what your connection to her is?

Thank-you

Per FreeBMD, Delphine and Edward had a daughter in 1954.

Delphine has(or had ) a brother William.

Have you traced (or looked for) him?

EDITED

He died in infancy, so no hope there

Ricochet Report 20 Jul 2014 09:08

If the Edward West death added above is correct, getting a copy of the cert would be your best way forward.

Countless possible marriages for the daughter's name, although none in the area of her birth

I'd guess at marie, after her mother

her mother seems also to have been an only child

patchem

patchem Report 20 Jul 2014 09:26

Ricochet,

I was wondering if she was known by her second name, but possibly unlikely if confusion with Mother's name would ensue.

Just there seemed a lack of any further records of her or the daughter born 1954, so I was also wondering about emigration. (And that there appeared to be only one child)

As hibbert said that the stepfather became his stepfather, would be interesting to know when he had last heard anything about them.
