Alice MELLINGS - Newport.

[eyelander]

I´m from Finland but my grandmother Alice Mellings from my mothers side was from The Villa, Chetwynd End. Newport. SA. 
Alice Mellings married my grandfather Erik Ruben Karlsson the 11 Sept. 1943 in the district of Wellington in the County of Salop. My Mother Patricia was born the sixth April 1944 in Shrewsbury. They moved to Finland in 46 or 47. Alice Mellings died in Oct 48. Her fathers name was John Charles Mellings and he was a Farm worker.

We have never had any contact from any relatives in England and the most intersting thing to know would be is to know if Alice Mellings had any Sisters or Brothers.

I do not know where i would get this information or if anybody here could help me?

Thank You!
Marcus.

should be able to work back and find someone in the 1901.

How old was Alice from her marriage Cert ?

[eyelander]

She was 36 years old and a bar-maid at the King´s Head Hotel in Newport.

OK, theres a Birth Entry which might fit her father ..

and a Marriage entry for a John C. in the same District in 1912, but I now see that Alice was born 1907 +/- ...

let look at the census in that area ....

OK, now lets see where this chap was on the 1901 and work back ... BUT, it will be necessary to get those Certs to verify this and further research.

If you need help just shout !

Hi both 

Welcome to RootsChat Marcus 

(can I jump in, Newfy?)

If the John Charles marriage is the right one, then according to Staffordshire BMD, the bride was Emma Elizabeth BENNETT and the wedding was at Seighford St Chad

Hi Tati - most welcome, I always forget about LRO transcriptions.

[Tati]

I only ever think of Staffs and West Mids because that's where my own lot are from   

Can you see John Charles anywhere on census, Newfy  

If the MarchJune 1908 Stafford birth is the right Alice, then this might be possible siblings:
John William Mellings Sep 1904 Stafford 6 b 12   
Louisa Mellings June 1906  Stafford  6b 6
 
The problem being, Marcus, that the latest available census is 1901 - before Alice's birth - therefore we couldn't prove that they belong to the same family

[Necromancer]

hmmm, the name is predominantly from Lancashire .... none are in Staffs in early 1901 with that exact spelling ... there is an interesting chap in Salop, b1878 Wales tho ....

I think that to continue is guesswork without verifying that marriage and birth ....

I will look at the full Birth Index to see if there are other Alice born 1907 +/-  ..... it may be just a coincidence that a John Charles M marries a few years before her birth in the same county ...


Tati - the Alice I found was 1907, Stoke .... in FreeBMD, is yours from the full index then - will save me looking !
