  Is Whitehaven important? I have found an Eleanor and a Mary, born 1921 Newcastle, mother Kerr, twins? Again no Dorothy yet.

Whitehaven is not important just trying to find a link
However, William (b) 1912 and David (b) 1914 so either they got themselves some pretty young wife's or its not the right girls.

The Elsender boys do however come from Newcastle upon Tyne

I know nothing on the Calvert girls just found the marriage index for the three Elsender boys so I suppose the Calvert Girls father may have remarried from Kerr to Braithwaite

Ronald Elsender (b) 1923 so would fit Dorothy Birth date

Dorothy born 1925, Newcastle, mother Braithwaite.

A quick and simple search on Google reveals Dorothy's obituary, and indicates she was indeed born c.1925.

Ronald and William's mother's maiden Nane is COOK
David however is shown as COCK

I assume these are all brothers and it is a mistake, all registered Newcastle

Have you looked at 1939

I would assume its a mistake yes Maud

They are all unmarried on 1939 register

Ahhh right 1939 Register has Dorothy living with father William Calvert (b) 1899 and mother down as Eleanor Calvert (b) 1897.
Rest of the entries are closed
If Top Of The Hill post is correct and that is the parents DOB then that would make sense and they did marry younger woman

There are 2 marriages Elsender to Cook

William to Annie 1911 Newcastle


Thomas to Emma 1923 Newcastle

I assume these 3 lads were born to William and Annie going by their dates of birth , but I could be wrong

William Calvert marriage to Eleanor Kerr 1919 so that fits

Her obituary (found via Google) indicates she was the widow of Ronald. Looking at the births of her children, her maiden name was Calvert.

Using the free search to the 1939 shows Dorothy Calvert/Elsender was indeed born in July 1924.

The Dorothy who was born Newcastle, mother's maiden name Braithwaite was born 1925 (or at least that's when her birth was registered).

Again using the free search to the 1939 reveals that in the same household with Dorothy was a sister born 1929, called Edith.

Looking at her birth, Edith's mother's maiden name was Kerr

Yay so can we safely say all three Calvert girls are sisters ?

I can't find a birth for Dorothy in 1924  :-\

But she is in the same household as William Calvert and Eleanor Kerr/Calvert in 1939 (free search) and there is someone else in the household whose mother's maiden name was Kerr.

Also the free search shows up a Margaret Calvert born 1919. There is no Margaret Calvert born in that year, but there is a Margaret C. Kerr, mother's maiden name Kerr born in Newcastle upon Tyne in the 2nd quarter of 1919.

Yes the Elsender's were quite proficient in reproducing. My Wife's Dad had at least 9 borther's that I have found so far.
