I found the RC Church marriage record of Bernard Miller to Margaret McGinlay at St Patrick's, Coatbridge on July 26th 1898, witnessed by Patrick Cunningham, Maggie Doyle and Henry Edgar.
   
But nothing found on the Statutory Records?  I've tried phonetic,similar spellings etc but nothing at all. 

I've never come across a case like this.  Any ideas?
Thank you.

I lived in the area during the 1950-60s, and all we cihldren were told was "That's where all the bad boys live" and that if we didn't do as we were told, then you'd end up there as well!

After many hours of searching, I found her in WALES!
No further action required, so I will close this topic.

Thank you both.  She's not there in 1939.........or anywhere else!

Staffordshire / 52 Marston Road, Stafford

I have a copy of a death cert, with a female living at the above address when she died in 1942.
I've checked the 1939 but can't see 52 Marston Road on there, to see if she was visiting someone.

I understand it was a workhouse?  She was assaulted (hit on the head with hammer) in 1936 London, where she had always lived.  Her son, who lived in Hoddeston, Walton (?Waltham? Cross, reported the death.
I know it is definitely her, but I'm puzzled as to why she lived in London but died at 52 Marston Road, to Stafford in 1942.  And why number 52 is not on the 1939? 

(It's keeping me awake at nights  ???)

shellyesq:  No idea, I'm trying to find this out.  Nothing found in the newspapers

In 1909 New York, Hubert/Henry Flowers b1888 renounced his British citizenship, applyin gfor US citizenship and by 1910 appears on the US Army census.    He uses various name - Henry Hubert, Hubert Herny, Henry H, Harry H etc thru his life, but I am 100% positive this is "my" man!

He married in 1906 New York to Margaret Ryan.  He was deported in August 1938 from NY back to the UK, and again in 1947....on both occasions, returning to his famiy.

I'm wondering if the tree on Rootsweb are from his and Margaret's marriage.

Thank you all - Yes, I have all of the above and more.  He was telling lies in some documents

I thought I had everything but then....I found his bigamous US marriage in 1926 New York, which even confirms his parentage, as well as his 1909 renouncing of British Citizenship, and his 1910 US Army record.  And he wasn't born in Dublin, but his younger brother was. 

He's a sailor (RN and Merchant Navy), so I guess Margaret Ryan is his girl in this port!

I was wondering if the bigamous marriage was the cause of his deportation ?
