George Williams & Mary Frances Darling
« on: Saturday 06 January 18 13:04 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Looking for any information on George Williams who married Mary Frances Darling in South Shields on the 24th February 1918, and their only child, Mary Theresa, was born the following year.

Mary Frances is easy to trace (her father, James Darling, was a younger sibling of Grace Darling), but of George Williams, I know nothing.

Mary Frances was still alive in 1939, living in South Shields and gave her status as 'married' but of George there is no trace.

I suspect that I will have to buy a marriage certificate, but hoped/wondered whether anyone may be able to hazard a guess as to who he might be!

Mary Frances died in South Shields in 1956, so it would seem that the family had remained in the area.

Thanks

Sue

Hi
There are a couple of family trees on Ancestry which give him as George Willie Williams.
He could well be the George William Williams labourer  Royal Navy  seaman born 28th May 1892 Darlington who is on the May 29th 1919 on the Victory II.
He signed up 16 Aug 1917.

Not him either!

He is still in Darlington in 1939 and married to someone else - drat!

Have you got the death for her and was she a widow when she died?

As an aside I went to the Grace Darling museum on holiday last year.  It was fascinating and had a beautiful view of the sea.  Was my first visit to Northumberland and am keen to go back  :)

Back to the topic!  I agree the marriage entry does say May rather than Mary.

They married at Holy Trinity Church, South Shields according to an on-line search I have just done.

If you don't mind waiting I should be able to get over to South Shields library in the next week or two and I will check to see if they have this marriage on microfilm.

If they have I will post the details on here and you can take your search on from there.

If you have a specific date of death I could also look up a possible death notice/ memorial for Mary.

Best Wishes :)
