Can you go back and remove the names of all the living people - we are not allowed to name living people on this site. Use the modify button.

There is a marriage of a Mary Ellen Thompson to William W Kennedy -
q2 1934, Sunderland Vol 10a Page 1303/1503
So it would appear that Mary Ellen was married before she married your ggrandfather.

mary married my great grandfather jen

not looking good on the oxberrys then :(
-
On the contrary, you have a marriage certificate from 1942 to purchase.
Once you have it in your possession, there will be information to push the family furtherybgack.

If the family always lived in Sunderland - there was a Joseph M Oxberry born June 1914 to Joseph Oxberry and Elizabeth Dawson. Sunderland - 10a 1681
Joseph Oxberry and Elizabeth Jane Dawson were married September 1898 - 10a 1098
They appear on the 16 Ogle Terrace Southwick Durham in 1901 - does that ring any bells.
Joseph Oxberry 22 Labourer in ship-yard.
Elizabeth Oxberry 21
Gilbert Oxberry 2
George Oxberry 4 months
Obviously many more children by 1911 - but because of rules on the site cannot do 1911 Look Ups.
