Lily May Marsh

[keyboard86]

The transcript of 1939 gives no year of birth but the original document has birth dates

It's the "other" dates written above, that are confusing?

Do you have to have full subscription to FindMyPast or can you pay just to look at one?

There are only 2 birth entries for a Lily May Marsh that fit a marriage in 1913 - both in 1895 in Islington and Camberwell

There is a death for one Lily May Marsh age 4 Mar Qtr 1900   Islington    1b   196

For Lily to have married in 1913 she must have been born in the mid-late 1890’s at least.

Charles Chatten was born 1902 so was several  years younger than her.  Harry Edwin Collins was b 1891 in Essex

There are quite a number of Lily Marsh and Lily Collins and without some more info to go on it’s guesswork.

Are either of the 2 children born to the Chatten relationship still alive who could perhaps answer your questions?

If not - you are dependant on the 1939 register having her birthdate and if that does not materialise then you will have to buy a copy of the 1913 marriage cert in the hope it gives sufficient info to trace her ancestry.

If you know where and when she died - tell us.  If she died from 1969 onwards her full birthdate should be shown

Unfortunately both Chatten children have passed away.
My cousin is looking for the relevant paperwork. I've spoken to my dad tonight and he remembers Charles and Lily, he is sure that Lily died in Hull, as she was living with her daughter Rose around 1966. he's not sure what year she died

Where does middle name May come from?  She’s just Lily Marsh on the 1913 marriage, and Lily Chatten in the free 1939 index.

[dbray220]

I was told by her granddaughter that her middle name was May.
I've just taken a months sub out on Find My Past and on the 1939 register her date of birth is 5 Aug 1896.
She is down as Lily Chatten on the register, but I have been told by a few people that her and Charles never married
