Hi

Can anyone help please?

Sarah Elizabeth Stevenson married my Great Uncle Frank Spencer in May 1915 in Cheshire in October of the same year Frank got killed on the Somme.
We thought there was no children from the Marriage.
Sarah was an Irish Girl whose parents lived in Kilda Street in Belfast.

On November 11th 2018 I had a message from Frank and Sarah's Grandson also called Frank Spencer he was trying to trace his Grandfathers family.

As you can imagine to hear from someone we didn't even know existed was a lovely shock and to happen on Remembrance Day made it even more amazing.
His fathers name was Ellis Spencer born in February 1916, Ellis left Frank and his Mum when Frank was very young and Frank knows nothing about him

His mother had passed away and he had found papers with information about his Grandfather Frank

We cant find any trace of Sarah or her son Ellis after his birth
We are wondering if after Ellis's birth in 1916 she returned to Belfast

Can anybody find any records in Northern Ireland for either of them.

Here's hoping.

Hi
Can anybody help please.

My Gt Grandmother x3 was born Ruth Lewis in Buckley Flintshire in approx 1816 she died in 1878 in Cheshire.
She married John Spencer in 1840 and they are living in Flintshire on the 1841 Census.
From her marriage certificate I have found out that her father was an Edward Lewis (Brick Maker.)
On the same 1841 Census Ruth and John are next door to an Edward Lewis (Brick maker)and His Wife Catherine.Who I presumed were her parents.Which I know is a mistake never presume!!!
I cannot find a birth on the Flintshire Parish records for Ruth Lewis with parents Edward Lewis and Catherine.
I have found one but it says her parents were Edward Lewis and Ann Griffith
Can anybody suggest what I do now as I am out of idea's.
Many thanks

Hi

My Gt Grandmother  x 2 was Ruth Lewis born 1822 in Buckley Flintshire.
She was the daughter of Edward Lewis c 1788 and Catherine.
Ruth went on to marry my Grandfather x 2 John Spencer and they spent the rest of their lives together living in Cheshire until Ruth died in 1876 in Acton Nantwich Cheshire.

I have found Edward Lewis and Catherine living in Lleweni Isaf Henllan Denbyshire on both the 1841 and 1851 Census and then they both disappear. But I cannot find their deaths to prove this.
In 1851 it states that Edward  and Catherine were born in Mold Flintshire.

Can anyone suggest where I can find their marriage or information of any other children they may have had?
