Thanks Chrissiex
Can't believe he was/is an only child too! I'm hoping Marian's death certificate may offer me some lead/clue although I will have to tread carefully as I am not sure what/if anything she ever told people about her earlier life and I don't want to upset anyone.
Very grateful for all your help!

A better Heywood match certainly ... and he too was an only child :(

there is one Heywood listing in Orpington at present ( female M over 65 but not Marian, checked against electoral roll )

in case you want to consider that

Many thanks - I've made a note of the information. Really appreciate everyone's help!

Wow thanks Chrissiex!! That is brilliant!

Yes looks like I am going to have to dig around and see if there is anyone vaguely related who may be able to assist (Marian was the only child of older parents). It may be that we'll never know "why" and what happened/what she was like but I'm certainly going to give it my best go while there's time

A huge thank you to everyone!

one might think this is the father of the Walter born in 1916

Name: Walter Heywood
Spouse Surname: Pegler
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1916
Registration district: Bedwellty
Inferred County: Monmouthshire
Volume Number: 11a
Page Number: 159

and if so you have the strangest luck ... freebmd has it thus

Marriages Mar 1916
Davies David Hodges Bedwellty 11a 169
?? Heywood Walter Pegley Bedwellty 11a 169
Hodges Elizabeth Davies Bedwellty 11a 169
Matthews Elizabeth Si__ Bedwellty 11a 169
Sims William G Matthews Bedwelty 11a 169

and there is no marriage for Pegler or Pegley! ( I think the image says Pegler ) and I can't find the matching bride at all

there is no Heywood - Bullock marriage

oh and here is why I could not find that birth at Ancestry

Name: Wlater W Heywood
Mother's Maiden Surname: Bullock
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1916
Registration district: Bedwellty
Inferred County: Glamorganshire
Volume Number: 11a
Page Number: 179

:-S

anyway I was looking for siblings in case there was family who knew Marian

Iris Heywood Apr-May-Jun 1925 Pontypool


edit found the marriage, groom is mistranscribed

Marriages Mar 1916
Pegler Mary A E Heywood Bedwellty 11a >> 189

and he is mistranscribed differently at Ancestry !!!

Name: Walter Heywood
Spouse Surname: Pegler
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1916
Registration district: Bedwellty
Inferred County: Monmouthshire
Volume Number: 11a
Page Number: >> 159

but of course this may be unrelated anyway :-)

freebmd is also missing that page of the index so it seems to be gone, the marriage certificate will be needed

however there is only one possibly matching death in Bexley which could be her husband

Name: Walter William Heywood
Birth Date: 2 Oct 1916
Date of Registration: Jun 1985
Age at Death: 68
Registration district: Bexley
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 11
Page: 446

and no marriage for a Walter W Heywood ( except one in 1923 )

Births Dec 1916 ?
Heywood Walter W Bullock Bedwellty 11a 179

( the only other Walter W Heywood born, 1918, died in 1926 )

Possible child born in 1958 called Geoffrey.

Edit: Maybe not. There's also another Pearson/Green birth in the same district in 1952.

I've just ordered the marriage and death certificates so I'll definitely try that avenue. She left when my father-in-law was 3 and I know he has always wanted to understand more. Thank you so much!

Maybe the informant of her death would be able to help with some answers ?

Thank you so very much Flick and Gwyn - it does indeed sound as though that is her! (Her birth date was 23 September 1921!). It may not give my father-in-law all the answers but at least it gives him some closure - and I am sure it will mean a huge amount to him.

I will also now have a chance to try to find out a little bit more (based on all the info you have provided) and to try to solve the puzzle as best as I can before it is too late for him.

Many thanks and best wishes

Sadly there are corresponding marriages which more than likely suggest that is the correct person.

The marriage to HEYWOOD is also indexed under GREEN.

I am urgently looking for anyone who may know anything about Marian Paine Green.

She was born in 1921 and married Brian Moss in 1943 and they had one son, Howard, my father-in-law.

Marian subsequently remarried a Cyril Harry Pearson (witnessed by a Marian Hoey and Sheila Garner in Monton Green, Eccles, Lancashire) and after that my trail goes cold. It is worth noting that on her marriage to Cyril she listed her age as younger (would have given a birth year of 1929) and she did not state that she had been married before on the marriage certificate.

My father-in-law was very young when she left and unfortunately his father died before he could tell him what had happened/where his mother was. My father-in-law would love to know if she is still alive and/or what happened to Marian and I would appreciate any help anyone could give. This matter has recently become time-sensitive so if anyone knows anything please do let me know. Thanks
