Jessie Mary Cornforth
« on: Friday 15 August 14 11:18 BST (UK) »
Hi!
    Can anyone help with the following?

I have a Jessie Mary Cornforth on the 1911 Census living at Dawdon, Seaham Harbour with her grandparents.

She is listed as being 1 year old and born at Brancepeth. I believe her parents were a John Robert Cornforth and Hannah Mary Pattison who married  between Oct - Dec 1909 at Durham. Hannah Mary Cornforth (nee Pattison) is listed as dying ) Oct - Dec 1909, registered Houghton le Spring?

The only other record I can find for Jessie Mary Cornforth is for a one marrying at Wetherby in 1938 to a Wilfred Walker? No details either for John Robert Cornforth.

Any help much appreciated! :D

Hi!
   Many thanks for that. Great Help! Cant find John Robert Cornforth on Ancestry Military Records at all. Does anyone know if he re-married or when he died?
Cheers, Andrew

When he was discharged from the Army as a Sgt in the Durham Light Infantry on 3 June 1919 he was still listed as a widower.

I can't see another probable marriage.  There is a possible death in Durham although rather too young
