[groom]

I know her mum had a child with Colson yet to find her but wonder if he went on to marry and have kids they would be my ladies siblings

I'll PM you the name of that child as she was born in 1946, before the marriage to Carl. I can't name her here as she could well still be alive, but you can find her on FreeBMD.

[groom]

There is a marriage for this child in Islington in 1966 - also on FreeBMD.


EDIT: following later posts this probably isn't the same person, especially if the family went to America.

I'm wondering where the 'Hanalin' in the mothers name was actually Handlin as there is a birth in Scotland 1923 Maybole (Ayrshire) and another in 1928 with same place and if she was illegitimate the later entry could be something to do with 1923 birth.

Also, can you please confirm the Christian name of the father - your topic is headed 'Alan' but you refer to him later as 'Allan'.   If the latter, there are births in Scotland with this name in similar time frame so the father may have been Scottish too.

There were 2 births for someone with the name you are referring to, groom - one born Sept.1946 with maiden name Milroy in Wandsworth but another with same birth name born Dec.1945 Islington (different mother).  The marriage in Islington probably relates to the child born there 1945.

I note that the man whom Margaret married was named Carl C. Colson - wondering if he was the Carl Clayton Colson born 15/6/1919 Florida who died and buried 1/11/1962 Arlington Cemetery, VA.   I note from FindaGrave that his wife buried with him (she died 25/12/1999 and interred with him 10/7/2000.   She is shown as Marga H. Colson - could this be some corruption of her name?   Her birthdate is given as 19/4/1923 and can't help wondering if this is the birthdate of the Margaret Handli. Milroy born 1923 Maybole, Scotland.

I would think that is the same person, too much of a coincidence for it not to be!

  Hi Just wondering why she was Interred with him 7 months later? could she have died somewhere else and transferred there ? I have noticed this a war cemetery and the time he died around Vietnam war? also how easy would it be to get a death cert for Margaret with it being USA and I am in UK? I am hoping the death cert would have next of kin who buried her on it But I am not sure never dealt with USA deaths before any ideas? TIA
