More than enough help, currently fill in blanks through Ancestry - one piece fills the jigsaw so, if correct (dob is in his army record as such) then, fingers crossed....

Yes, I believe there's a divorce and a remarriage around that period

For Elsie, that name has continued in the family, as has George for that matter

If she became a Bell, then Doris is possible 

Death cert. for George has a D. Bell, sister, of Londonderry Avenue, Durham. as the informant....

(Just spoke to my dad and his sister and I know more than they do, oooops)...

Dates are correct as per his service record, and the marriage and death certificate (we don't have birth), anything beyond that, couldn't say

His father's name was James (as per marriage cert), a bricklayer at time of George/Marjorie wedding in 1946

my grandfather died a good sixteen plus years before I was born, early forties, and there's next to nothing about him in the family - odd photos, minimal info - gran is no longer about, my dad and his sister know as much as myself now. so, can anyone further advance the following, as I'm officially lost now....

George Mann
b. 1921 (Mar-Jun) Durham
m. 1946 (Jul-Sept) Durham, Marjorie Norman
d. 1961 (November) Durham

In regards Marjorie, her info is as follows -
b. 13/02/1921, Durham
m. as above
d. 27/02/1993, Durham

They had two children, born 1951 (Durham), 1956 (Oxford) -both alive, their birthday's this month....

Anything, anywhere, on George Mann, is what I'd love, more so now....

All I've got is what I've put in original post I'm afraid, I've nothing else.

Information comes from what my long deceased grandfather had already, combined with the Newman website information, but neither has anything on Rose's side :(

Not sure if there might be a relationship to Ezra but their are some Durham 'Churchman' on memorials mentioned on the North East War Memorials Project website.  Actually it is not showing via link so you will need to put in Churchman yourself in search box to see things.


Just re-quoting on this - John Henry was Ezra's brother, found out loads in the past week  or so about him; believe there's photos and letters with an ageing uncle we're trying to get access to which will be over a century old now...

Suffolk / Grt Grandma Rose (Smith/Newman/Barnsdale)
« on: Saturday 27 March 21 09:12 GMT (UK)  »
This one is proving tiresome, bless her....

I've photos, death certificates, dates, but can't find her lol (her american line are wanting to know something).

So, Grt Grandma Rose

Born Rose Smith 26.08.1897, Sudbury, Suffolk
Married (1) Cecil Walter Newman 06.1919, Sudbury, Suffolk
Married (2) Jack (John Robert) Barnsdale December 1949, Sudbury, Suffolk
Died 22.02.1973, Sudbury, Suffolk

Rose birthed four children to Cecil Walter - Evelyn, Edward, Peter, Pauline

I know where they lived, who went where regarding the children...

But nothing of Rose herself, and her family line - parents, siblings, dates, places etc...

Can anyone help, please!!!
