Just wondered if anyone has this person in their tree. I have a birth date of 1903 for her, found her in 1939 Register living in Leicester with John O Page but cannot find a marriage for them, they do seem to have quite a few children (this is where I picked up what I assume is her maiden name). John Page died in 1963 and in 1964 Hedwig marries Thomas G. Biggs in Leicester using the surname Page. I next find her marrying Albert Edward Cooke in 1973 again in Leicester. Albert Edward died in 1977 and it looks as though Hedwig died in 1986.
-
Was she born in the UK?
Do all the children have the same mothers maiden name?
They might not belong to her but to a previous spouse/partner of John Page.
-
I checked the children that were on the 1939 Register and the mmn is Reisinger which I assumed was the name of Hedwig, rightly or wrongly. I have no other information on her, as I have said I cannot find a marriage for a Reisinger to Page but do find a Page to Biggs and then Biggs to Cooke.
-
Could John Page have been in the forces and they married overseas :-\
-
if they married before the first child was born that means the marriage should have taken place c1921. I think I have found the birth of John Ordell Page in Yorkshire but even with that I cannot find a marriage.

Is this the chap's baptism?

I think he is the right man certainly fits in with his birth date of 10 January 1891 as stated on the 1939 Register
-
Are you in contact with any of the children of her first marriage?
-
If you are trying to find her in someone's tree, then look in 'Surname interests' in 'Your Tools' below.
Found this birth:
Margarethe Hedwig Reisinger
Born 24th April 1899 at Löbtau, Deutschland (Germany)
Civil Registration Office: Löbtau (61)
Father: Gustav Adolph Moritz Reisinger
Mother: Amalie Alma Reisinger Herrmann
Certificate Number: 593
who dies in 1899.
The births information (in Ancestry) is from Dresden, Germany, Births, 1876-1902, so as she was born in 1903 she would not show on them. The above Margarethe may have been a sister, or may be totally unrelated.

In 1923 John Oldnall Page was registered with his parents, Thomas and Kate, in Leominster, but no Hedwig recorded.
In 1925, John Oldnall Page was living in Osmaston Road, Leicester, but no Hedwig.
In 1928, he was in Linwood Lane, South Wigston.
In 1929-31, they were both in Linwood Drive, recorded as John Oldnall and Hetty Martha Clara Page. In one instance, she was Hadwig.

Makes interesting reading, as I have checked the 3 children that are open on the 1939 Register and they are registered in Leicester under the surname Page with mmn as Reisinger, first child open was born 1923 then 1925 and then 1927, hmm the plot thickens
-
Would she be 'registered' if she were a foreign national?
-
I am beginning to wonder if her mmn was not Reisinger but in fact she was married before

Remember in the early 1920s she wouldn't be on the electoral register if she was under 30 years of age. Her death reg suggests b 1903, so they could be together/married c1922, but she wouldn't appear with John on registers. She turns up in 1929 when the age of women's suffrage is reduced to 21.

The first child in 1939 is balnked out and I can't see a birth registered with the correct mmn prior to the first named.
It could a child of a prior marriage to either parent or the birth may have been abroad, as perhaps was the marriage.

Are you in contact with any family member who may have more information about her?
Have you got a copy of her will or death certificate?

Not sure what you are looking at - on FreeBMD there are 8 possible children born 1924 - 1944. The first has mmn spelled Riesinger/Rissinger (depending on the source), but the rest are as per the thread title
-
The first child in the index, Kitty W, was born at the end of 1923 and there is another person blanked out who precedes her.
