Joonie, as per your post, the child died.....will check what you posted and if she didn't I will delete the details...

[edited out info found when I thought the child had survived]

sad result even though my hunch turned out to be right



I hadn't noticed that post about me posting in the future before (I was stuck on that 8 yr old getting married) ... what did I do ?! I guess it got fixed :-)

edit - it just happened in the Anthony Adolph pinned thread too !

Well the birth 12 November 1947 came back....Margaret Mary, father James Fitzgerald. Mother Elsie Maria Mead formerly Morgan. So I wondered about this - she is May previously and after - but the address is the same as the address when she married Stanley in March 1946. So it seems the marriage lasted less than a year sadly.

So one thing put to bed. Still no further with whether Stanley or his brother George are still alive. But it seems very possible they are (and good luck to them) so won't post further about them!

No it's working now but the three posts that "went awol in the future" are still showing as tomorrow.....

I am sure we could make a fortune out of this somehow...natch wrong way round :-)

Genes grammar needs some addressing ...its' tut tut tut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In case anyone wonders I wanted to be a teacher all my childhood; and when I tried it....well let's just say it wasn't for me. But I am very old school when it comes to spelling and grammar......

Jude

what a dog's breakfast ! yes, Genes has announced on the chat board that their clock is ... off :-)

running backwards, more like

now this will keep pushing your post 'Joonie, as per your post' and my reply '[edited out ...' (in reverse order) down the thread, but at least they are sticking together!

... oh, now it's just random ... I will stop posting!

And it's happened again...my first post on page 2 was this afternoon...

I replied to Joonie around 1600 hours (in the pub :-) )

Yet Joonie's answer and mine are dated tomorrow!!!!!!!

Anyway, Joonie, sadly we were both right and the child died shortly after birth (registered Q1 1948)

So sad outcome, but I guess it confirms that Stanley and Elsie's marriage did not last long -backed up by the ER evidence. Maybe next time I am in the library I'll have a look at the address that Elsie gave at her marriage and the birth of the child.
Jude

ah so she did, registered as both names, mea culpa for not checking - it is I who will delete the info I posted then !

good grief, I was not reading carefully! somebody must have got an 'Ancestry hint' ... name isn't even the same.

I hope that person notices some day and makes Ancestry take it down!

Something is wrong...Joonie Cloonie has posted in the future lol!

Jude

Just double checked the probate for Elsie - it's in her maiden name but the death notice is in her married name.

Just had a look at the comment....it's that an eight year old married in 1955!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The marriage referenced was in West Wales :-(

Stanley A has come off the electoral rolls. Between 1939 and 1940 he was a seaman with P&O

I may have a play with the executor....

There is also a 2011 death in Birmingham; it's an all too common name!

Not the Scotland one in 1994 - Gerald Stanley aged 85

Jude

No shortage of Stanley Meads :-)

Births Sep 1919
Mead Stanley Chorlton 8c 1374

perhaps more likely for the Blackburn death

????

Deaths Mar 1970 (>99%)
MEAD Stanley About1920 Blackburn 10b 1383

Lancashire Death indexes for the years: 1970
Surname Forename(s) Age Sub-District Registers At Reference
MEAD Stanley 50 Blackburn Blackburn B/C11A/20

why do we never think to look in Scotland ?? second one in two days ... not to mention my own ancestor who was awol for years until somebody looked in Scotland :-)

no Stanley Mead was born or married in Scotland, so that looks promising


the one thing I've wondered about is the 'Stanley A' ... he was plain Stanley at birth and when he married

there is a stanley mead dies in scotland in 1994

you would need scotlands people

scotlandspeople.gov.uk

the birth is still possibly interesting though ... the certificate might give a name that could be useful

the executor (a contemporary of Elsie possibly best childhood friend?) had a number of children who would likely have known Elsie when they were young ... an Ancestry user has added a comment to one of their births just last summer ... could be a quick and easy way to make contact with family

mmm Joonie... not sure ...

executor was a Pollard before marriage to a Howells....

Jude

did you notice that there is a birth to Stanley's marriage also registered in a different surname?

search at Freebmd for the Mead-Morgan name combination and then click on the page number

might that possibly connect with the executor's name?

oh no, sadly an infant death under the alternative surname

however there is another birth there, same surnames, a year later ... but a 1942 marriage could account for that one ...

(or the previous birth could be a big coincidence, two births on the same page with same given name and initial and same mother's surname, and different surnames ... in which case the Mead child would have survived ...)

OK, still not found a death for Stanley A but.....he and Elsie May Morgan married in March 1946.

In 1945 he was living with his grandmother in Newport. Can't see him in 1946. And then from 1947 to 1963 (when his grandmother Mary dies) he is living with her...minus wife.

She dies in 1967. The executor of her will is (as far as I can see) not a relative. The address given on her probate is the address of the executor. And today I checked the ER for 1967 and she is listed at that address in her maiden name (probate in her married name)

Can anyone find a divorce for me?
