Burgress or Burgess?
William John Burgress
they had a Daugh Emma K Burgress
Marriages December qtr 1910
William J Burgess Newport M. 11a 467
Catherine A Burke Newport M. 11a 467
What is his birthplace and birthyear? There are lots of William John Burgess births on freebmd so you will need to supply more info
Where and when was Catherine born?
A copy of the marriage cert will give his age and his fathers name

I found the marriage in 1910 .. i do not know where he was born, as i could not find the couple in the 1911 census

Hi .. ok yes sorry,
am not even sure i have the right birth for emma or her right parents on her death record online its says she died swansea jan q 2003 and her birth as 6 Oct 1922, but i can not find a birth at this date for the name given, or a marriage for her incase her name was different ,,the only one i can find with that name is in swansea but for 1918 dec..
regards

Was the Emma Kathleen Burgess who died in 2003 married or single??
Unless you know the answer - you will need to buy a copy of her death cert which will show her maiden name if she was married
-
am not sure. yess i think your right i will order her death cert.. but not sure they list maiden name
thank you
-

Are you sure that she is not still living? We are not allowed to post details of living people on here.

wow thanks carole.. you found it.. i been looking for days ..
-
lol i thought you had found the birth of 1922 of a second ..
-
sorry morgan i missed your post..
no she died in 2003 emma kathleen Burgess
I just found the marriage in swansea, but the problem is that her death at death was burgess and not her married name, unless she revered back to it..? but if so i still can not find a birth for that date as burgess.. unless the person giving the information on her death did not know her right age, or she may have forgotton her own age which was/is common..

The Emma K Burgess married 1940 in Swansea district....
but she was probably divorced as I found a 2nd marriage in 1949 for Clifford E Stoute (deceased)
-
i could not find the 1940 marriage in swansea only the 1949
-
There is also a child born in 1943
-
found the 1940 marriage and is the same surname of the husband as the 1949...but could not find his forename was not available.. but she would have had to go back to her maiden name at death, which is possible , but that leaves with the wrong birth year...
in fact the marriage in 1940 is exactly the same names in 1949
-
What is your relationship to her? If it is via her son - is he still living?
If she divorced - she may have reverted to her maiden name
Until you get the death cert it's impossible to say
-
thanks carole
-
The son of Stoute and Burgress seemed to have died the same year of his birth :)
