Title: BEATRICE LAUGHTON b1886 Sth Cockerington m GEORGE EDWARD GRESHAM - completed
Post by: kiwicatz on Sunday 17 January 10 01:42 GMT (UK)

I am trying to find a marriage for this couple.
All I know is that Beatrice was a daughter of George (1863-1907) b South Cockerington, and Harriet Ann (nee Cartwright) (1858-1893) born North Somercotes. Beatrice sister, Ada Mary Laughton married Reginald Handysides.
In 1928 Ada Mary went to Toronto to stay with her sister Beatrice Gresham.
But the only George Edward Gresham that I can find in Toronto married a Beatrice Smith in Islington, London abt 1911. All I can think is that maybe Beatrice married very young, she was still living at home aged 14 in 1901 (can't find a marriage though) and George Edwards was her second husband.
Any thought, ideas?
Regards

The marriage you found was in 1907.

The 1911 census index has a Beatrice LOUGHTON 24 living in the Louth district.

Help,
I am related to a Reginald A. Handyside born 13/10/1891 born in Lincs. he married Dorothy Laughton in 1915 and they lived in Cornwall UK.   This is the Reginald whose father was born in Russia.   Is this the same Reginald A. Handyside you and others are talking about ?  It all seems a bit confusing ? :-\    Was Dorothy related to your Beatrice Laughton ?

Hi, Yes he did, I wasn't aware of this until recently when I noticed it on this site.   I only knew of his wife Dorothy Lawrence (got surname wrong in last message, sorry) who he married in 1951 in Truro Cornwall.  :)
Reginald was my Gt. Uncle.  Do you know if he had any children with Ada ?  Are you related  ?

Hi Miss Ape
Reginald is on my family tree - I had a relation Harriet Cartwright who married a George Laughton;  after she died he married Alice Ada Smith, and they had a daughter Ada Mary Laughton. I tend to chase down the twigs, either wise I wouldn't know anything about Reginald. I don't know if Ada and Reg had childre - on my to-do list. Ada and Reg must have divorced, did they? Do you know when?
Regards
