Hi: Looking for any relatives of Jacob Whiteson (aka Jack - dob 1902 Woolwich). and spouse Rosetta Elizabeth (dob 1904). In particular for
any offspring of this couple who wed 1939 Reading, Berkshire.
Thank you.

Lynda, have you looked for matches with other members by using the 'search trees' box above?

You can also look for offspring on Freebmd, if you have Rosetta's maiden name.

Any chance it was her second marriage?

Presumably this death:
Rosetta Elizabeth Whiteson
Birth Date: 28 Jan 1904
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1978
Age at Death: 74
Registration district: Hendon
Inferred County: Middlesex
Volume: 13
Page: 0623
The informant might be a relative.

Very few Whiteson births at all.

Jacob's parents appear to be Austrian, do you know where Rosetta came from?
You need that marriage certificate to get you started.

Thank you so much for your advice and information whicih is very much
appreciated. It has taken me 4 years to trace Rosetta Elizabeth and her second husband. Just hoping that there were children from this marriage which I am unable to find.

Ordered Marriage Cert and Death Cert for Rosetta, and hopefully this will
give me info on who registered her death which I can persue.

Thank you all so very much.
Regards, Lynda.
