I wish you luck Migky

It is so frustrating.

Perhaps you should do this as a separate thread with the Madden name and link this to it so that you don't have to go through all this again.

Hi Mig,

There is another marriage for a Leonard Madden, I don't think its been mentioned yet?

March 1939 Manchester south vol 8d page 57
Leonard Madden to Ellen Garvey

There have been a lot of new marriages added to free bmds recently so it might not have shown up before.
Manchester South could be Ardwick or somewhere like that, quite near Collyhurst.  If it was him he'd be getting on a bit in years  - then again my auntie Annie married first time at 59  Cheesy so it does happen.

But how to persuade you to pay out another £7 for a certificate on the offchance? Mmm.. that's a tricky one

Hi Migky

I'm sorry it turned out to be the wrong one.  I'll have to read all this again - probably with my thinking cap on a bit better in the morning!

I hope we find them for you!

Best wishes

Well Barbara, it looks like i might have to go with that marriage after all. I can see nothing more that fits. I wonder why i can't find his death either?
I see no one took me up on the offer on page 2 either. Oh! well back to the drawing board.

Hi Migky,

Im not after the offer Wink and although this is similar to MancsMan - it's not in the same vein  Roll Eyes

I know you have discounted the main contenders by some means or other, but there is still the death of Leonard Madden in Billington/Blackburn - same age  Undecided to consider.

I know you would think- why there... but then again- why not?
Lancashire BMD has the death as Billington sub-district.

http://www.genuki.org.uk/cgi-bin/churches?CCC=LAN,GR=SD726358,DIST=3,PLACE=Billington  has local churches but it may be difficult to get funeral records and the certificate may be the only way forward.

Having said that, that in itself may not tell you much: occupation , address and informant.

best wishes

Migky,  This suggestion will be absolutely no use in finding Leonard, but it may explain why you can't find him.  Could Leonard have slipped so far down the greasy pole of hard luck and poverty that he died alone and unmissed and is just recorded as "Unknown male".  Freebmd has perhaps 5 or 6 unknown middle-aged male deaths registered in the Manchester area each year from 1911 on.  Not a very happy prospect, I'm sorry to say.   Sad

Hi Alpinecottage, thanks for your input. I suppose it is a possibility, but with two sisters, one and possibly two brother in-laws, a father, a step mother and possibly many other family members all in the same area for many years i think they would have at least know when there kin had died?
I have him alive 1915, when he joined up to do his bit in the first world war, but unfortunately he was deemed as unfit to becoming a efficient soldier. This could mead anything from flat feet to rickets? He could well have then been asked to work for the war effort in some other capacity, i don't know? His short service records is on-line.
I will at some point get the death certificate for the Leonard who died in Billington/Blackburn, but i am sure i checked into this man many years back and think he was born in/around that area? Also as i don't think a death certificate would confirm he was mine 100% either was another reason for holding off buying it.
Thanks again.

Looking at BMD's, there isn't another Leonard born around that time- however that doesn't take into account mispellings, mistranscriptions, changes of name or immigration  Wink
I do agree with you too, Migky, about the lack of confirmation in a death certificate... but... Undecided
