Hi, I'm trying to confirm the maternal line of the George sisters (Stephanie 1951, Vanessa 1953, Nicola 1956 and Deborah 1957. All from Bournemouth).

Their mother's maiden name is recorded as Bentley - I would like to confirm this is Joyce P Bentley, 1922, Lambeth. And just to confuse things further - Joyce's maiden name may actually be Horn. Mother Eleanor Fineberg and father William Horn (Thomas Bentley). Joyce has a brother called Bryan.

If anyone happens to know these sisters, please ask them to get in touch! I am Eleanor Fineberg's great niece, and know next to nothing about our family.

Many thanks
Lisa

Look for the marriage of the parents and get a copy cert to confirm the names of the fathers

I presume you’ve looked for them in search all member trees

I don't see that marriage, Erika.

There's one in 1947, to John Prescott.



Nor do I see any George/Bentley marriage anywhere.

Simple solution is to get a birth cert for one of the girls

Vanessa may possibly have married in 1979 in Ringwood reg district.
Details on FreeBMD.

I can't see her or her husband after that.

Don't know if this relevant or not, but will post it just in case. Edited in case this Deborah still lives there. Details on Ancestry:

Deborah C George
in the U.S. Public Records Index, 1950-1993, Volume 1
Name: Deborah C George
Birth Date: **** 1957 [ DOB in 4th quarter of 1957 , as per your Deborah's birth record]]
Phone Number: ******
Address: ******* Attleboro, MA, ****


EDIT:

NO that's not the right person.

Your Deborah married in Bournemouth in 1982. Details on FreeBMD


I don't see them later, unless perhaps in 2002 in Swindon, Wilts, if her husband was using his middle name, and if that was Charles.

Hi - thanks, everyone. I have all the above. Joyce P Horn married Philip George in 1945, Hendon. I will follow up the Joyce P Bentley marriage in Lambeth - if this works out, then no, these are not my relations.

I was hoping (although they're giving me one hit) they would come up trumps in someone's tree. Lottery!

Thanks, again.
