Of course. My head is all over the place trying to sort this I was getting confused.

I really appreciate the help, thank you.

No, I meant Francis (her first husband) who died in 1931. Her second marriage to Mr. Nichols wasn't until 1947 - after the 1939 register was taken. Her name would have been updated after her second marriage as the register was regularly updated until 1991.

I thought that too but having checked the deaths it looks like her husband died in 1962.

I think it would show her as being single because her first husband had died by then and perhaps she thought of herself as single rather than a widow, and perhaps Nellie Burton had shaved a few years off her age in the 1911 census because she was older than her husband??????

Kath. x

Kathleen I think you've cracked it.

I was going to ask why would it show her as being single but then I noticed Nellie Burton born 1876, Although the year of birth is 3 years out from the 1911 census, that would be her mum.

Thank you so much

Thanks to everyone else too.

If the marriage you found for the daughter Rosemary in Buckrose is the correct one then there is the possibility that this could be Kathleen's second marriage as this is also in Buckrose:-

This would make this your Kathleen in the 1939 register (the birth date would fit with the birth you have for her):-

That one looks very promising malyon.

I've just checked the death on FMP and birth is given as 11th June 1902 and the birth registration of the Kathleen I'm looking for was Jun q 1902.


Chris

Thanks for that Kathleen.

I just wish I could find her death or re-marriage if she did marry again.

It is possible that Kathleen Bower was still alive in 1991 when the 1939 register stopped being updated, so her entry may still be closed and that is why you can't find her in 1939.

Thanks for your help Ann.

I have used the surnames Ashmore and Wright in the death registrations but the age is wrong for Kathleen,

Unfortunately I don't subscribe to Ancestry so I cannot check if anyone had her in their tree. I've checked on here but no one has,
