Yes, it is certainly a 'Davis' Rector so It would appear the witnesses were convenient.

Just revisited marriage certificate.  It was actually in Dromore.  No parent names for John.  Witnesses Sarah P Davis and an unclear name, but similar to Raly Varis/Davis?.  These names are unfamiliar.  I'm aware that Winifred's parents were very much against the marriage and they remained distant for some years.  I was told it was due to religion.  Winnie was Catholic.  'full age' was written for both.  I have a gut feeling there's more to it which is why I'm after more details on John.  If I'm right with my theory, it would explain so so so much more.

It's hard for me to get a hook into the right line and connect any dots with others, but every bit helps.  You're right about the possibility of another child, which I haven't explored, but the Moores appear to be in the area.  I'm also aware, that bending the truth to breaking point was certainly rife!!

Thanks all, I some more avenues to pursue.

I would like to purchase the birth cert for John Moore to allow me to rule in or out a strong family connection.

The 1911 census has John living in Church Street Dromore, aged 8 with his unmarried mother Lizzie Moore, aged 37.  Stated religion is Church of Ireland. That is the only record I've been able to locate given the common name (I assume).  I have no information at all on Lizzie but if I can buy his birth record, that might help me track her also.

(Given the 1921 census issue, that won't be an option for more information).
He married in Omagh in 1930 to Winifred Garrity.  I know they had 4 children prior to separating.  I cannot locate a divorce record and although unconfirmed, believe he died in Manchester around 1967.

I would appreciate any input PLEASE as to my next step.

Thanks all,
I had not factored any particular surname into the remarriage in 1951 but rather assumed that a marriage could not be undertaken without a divorce regardless of the mental/physical circumstances of John Swift.  Once again assuming the remarriage was legitimate.
The 1939 census had the name Swift replaced with Charnock which must have occurred post 1951.
Without obtaining the death cert for John Swift, he lived to a ripe age.
Grace died in Morecambe, UK.  2014 (not bad age either).
I hadn't planned to delve deeper into details of Wm Charnock to gather clues as I don't know it would solve this mystery.
Your help has been appreciated.
cheers, PippaR

Lancashire / Divorce details
« on: Wednesday 28 October 20 06:17 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I'm not sure where to really put this question but wondering if someone can point me in the best direction to find a divorce date.  Can't find it on FindMyPast or Ancestry or National Archives - probably not looking in the right area.
Grace Bennett 5 Aug 1913 Horwich married John Swift 4 April 1913 in Horwich, July 1938.
Grace remarried William Charnock in April 1951, Chorley.
John Swift died in 2001.
Is there a time restriction on getting the divorce date?  If not, where should I look?
Would appreciate your help please.

I have a 20 Dec 1818 parish record of Wm's baptism to parents Thos and Lucy but unable to find a death prior 1821.  Ann Moulton was baptised in 1824 and given their stated ages on census records, it accords with an 1821 birth.  Regardless, I still think it's the same Wm.

After I began the post, I sent off for the marriage cert to Wm's second wife just to see if Thomas senior is recorded as deceased in 1858 to hopefully narrow down the search process.  Unfortunately, I usually have to wait 4 weeks to receive these certificates.

Although not unusual, William is recorded on the 1841 census as a lodger and his parents not mentioned.  This is what makes me believe they were deceased.  Thinking in today's terms I know, but if Wm was the only surviving child, I would assume they'd be somewhere nearby.

I'm certain by now that you've concluded that it's driving me to distraction!!  But, it's been great to get your input so thanks again.
