Kedington and surrounding area - MAYES family - 1920-1924

[Heatha]

I have Charles MAYES who married Hilda MAYES in the Risbridge registration district in 1920. Following their marriage there were four births in the Risbridge registration district, surname MAYES, mother's maiden name MAYES, from 1920 to 1924. I believe they lived in Kedington. Does anyone have access to the Kedington PRs to see in any baptisms could help me distinguish which of these four might be their children ?

Thank you

Hi,

A search of the 1939 Register may record the children living with Charles and Hilda.

Thanks JJ,

I cannot gain full access but I have eliminated one of the four and confirmed another. That is a start ! I know that I have the correct household as I have Charles, Hilda and 2 others, one of which is Emily E Mayes.

Free search shows the other to be Gwendoline J Mayes born 1924 and one record closed.

That is very strange as I cannot find a registered birth for Gwen/Gwennie/Gwendoline Mayes about that time, irrespective of region. Neither can I find a J or J G Mayes with mother's maiden name Mayes either. That includes spelling variations for Mayes too.

There was a Charles V Mayes born in Risbridge in 1922 but he died the same year which would make the PRs even for useful.

The year of birth isn't a match but I wonder if this is her death entry

Gwendoline J Mayes died aged 22 (c1927)
Registration Date:   Dec 1949 Newmarket Suffolk Volume:   4b Page:   913

Wonder if Gwendoline was 'adopted'

I think I've found the entry on FreeBMD - the original entry is typed and does read mmn HAYES

Dec 1927 Risbridge   4a   1286
Hayes   Gwendoline J  mother's maiden name Hayes

Just about to type that one up.
