Hi All
I've been tearing my hair out this morning, trying to work out exactly who Marcus Arthur Holme married!
Marcus was born 14 Sep 1881 in Wellingborough, Northants
Mar 1920 he married Ada Allcroft in Leeds
son Roy Allcroft Holme was born abt Jan 1921 Shrewsbury (died 28 July 1934)
1921 census Marcus, MARGERY and Roy Holme are living in St Chad Shropshire
Margery and son Roy are both listed as being born Shewsbury
they had 5 more children by 1939 all with the mothers maiden name Allcroft
1939 register Marcus, Margery (born 9 Aug 1898), son William and 4 others are living at 18 Buttivant Street Nottingham
Marcus died 16 Mar 1960 he is buried in the Carlton Cemetery Nottingham in the same plot as son Roy Allcroft Holme and MARGARET HOLME! (Findagrave)
Margaret died 1 Aug 1956 aged 56
other than the marriage record, 1921 and 1939 I cannot find anything for Ada/Margery/Margaret Allcroft! That is if they are all the same woman. I cannot find a birth or death record for her.
Any suggestions welcome
Thanks in advance
Jenny

Do you have her father’s name and occupation from the marriage certificate?
-
You might find information in funeral notices in the newspapers. The 1939 register gives the date of his wife's birth, so you could look for it in the bmd index to see is she had middle names. Maybe she is Ada Margery, but prefers Margery.
-
Nothing in the newspapers.
Sorry Heywood, I don't have the marriage cert yet, I was hoping to find her first.
There is an Ada Allcroft born 1898 but she died as an infant
-
I have an Aunt Marge, whose birth name is Margaret, so I guess that Marge/Margery might be a diminutive of Margaret.
-
This is my best suggestion
1901 - Brynuchel, Cemmaes
Edward Allcroft 54 Head
Anne Allcroft 52 Wife
Ada Mary Riley 2 Visitor b Shrewsbury
She's with them again in 1911 in Dovey Bridge, Machynlleth - listed as niece
There's an Ada Mary Riley b 8 August 1898 (so one day out!) baptised in Shrewsbury. Mother also Ada
Plus an Ada Allcroft who enlists in the WRAF in 1918 in Grantham - b c1898, father Edward Malcolm Allcroft
-
Just to note this Edward Allcroft had a son Edward Malcolm b c1873 who married in 1896
-
The Ada Allcroft who enlists gives her father's address as being in Llanwrin - which is where the Edward who has Ada Riley in his household is living in 1921
