Sir Stanley Gordon Irving

[Vesta]

I have tried every thing I know to find the names of the 3 daughters of Sir Stanley Gordon Irving KBE GMC & his wife Irene Hazel Maclean MBE. He was born West Ham in 1886 & married at Bath Abbey on 3 June 1920. Any Ideas? Thanks Vesta

Hi Vesta,

Does this mean you checked the complete birth index for children named Irving with mother's maiden name Maclean from 1920 on? (If Maclean was her maiden name, of course)

 

[Vesta]

No- not the complete index but certainly many hrs of searching--I wonder if they were born abroad. Vesta

Do you know their names and birthdates, or do you only know that the couple had 3 daughters?

The complete index is free to search here:

Make sure you have seen every quarter of every year.

You might have to check the overseas birth index: It looks as though he was abroad much:

Have you checked Newspapers such as The Times?

[Vesta]

I have been right through The Times 1921 -1945.
I only know he had 3 daughters, no names or dates, therefore I might be missing something. I have found "possible" daughters but cannot link them to the parents. I cannot get Oxford DNB but I wondered if the father might have an entry & possibly name the daughters.

It is very likely he and his wife left wills which will name their children.

If you search for Irene Hazel Irving you'll pull up the 28th August 1970 entry for her husband's death.  His address given as Well Place, Ipsden, Oxford.

The Times searching can be tricky; you have to play about with the names because of the way they phrase things:

The Times, Wednesday, Sep 23, 1959; pg. 1; Issue 54573; col A
On Sep 17, 1959, quietly, in Chelsea, George Ludgate, son of the late Mr and Mrs George Bruce, formerly of Thurso, Scotland, to Marie Louise, daughter of Sir Stanley and Lady Irving of Well Place, Ipsden, Oxon.

Thanks to both of you -- I did not know either of those sites.
