Thank you

It really helps to build these childrens data, with a view to Johns (their Dad) and upwards. This certainly matches the Mary Derbyshire I have connected with James as her German roots can't be too common.

I will start placing the details of marriage plus children and James details in my tree and hopefully it will unlock a few more jigsaw pieces.

Much appreciated Candrjm

Is there a possibility Charles died in WW1 as I have found a death and will post the information if you think it's your Charles.

Ellenmai

I have no information on Charles at all apart from 2 child census entries. Appears to have been entered as 'Charlie' rather than Charles on those. There is no family recollection from my father as he has little to no information on John (his grandfather) as it appears it just wasn't discussed.

John's fathers name of Edward was news to my dad and he enjoyed learning. He (my dad) is in his eighties now and was the youngest of 6 born to Joseph Duffy who also was the youngest of 6 from John/Mary Hawthorns marriage. Joseph was 6 years after Charles.

Back to Charles, he could have been a casualty of WW1 but I have nothing to go on apart from birth year.

    The Edward Duffy who married Rose Ann Dodd, it states his DOB is 3/7/1882 on the 1939 Register. That Edward Duffy's mother was Barker.



Brilliant. Thank you. With other Edward's Mother Maiden Name - that discounts him.

and just to confirm:

Also the marriage of Rose Ann Dodd and Edward Duffy is on the familysearch website and records Edward Duffy's father as Frederick Duffy

Thanks. Info adds to the elimination of Rose Ann Dodd as a candidate . Also, if its on FS website i'm strongly believing it can't be my ancestors on the Duffy line as they are trying to hide !!

I will key in Marguerite to Edward Duffy b1883.


A step forward - I am grateful thanks

Keying this information just now, Family Search came up with no possible duplicates for the marriage nor either children when keyed (almost accepting the records as new). My Duffy ancestors didn't wish to be found I believe
