RATS! RATS! RATS!   

I have just received the birth, marriage and death certs of Ellen Clara WILSON. Her father was Harold Wilson not Harry and he was a signwriter. Therefore who she married and when she died is of no interest to me. Her mother was a JOSE but not Grace Annie.
Back to the drawing board and no Easter Eggs for me. No money left!! Boo hoo!

Hello All,
Just received the marriage cert for Harry WILSON and Grace Annie JOSE Sep 1909 in Cornwall. Their first daughter Leanie Phyllis Mary WILSON was born 1910 and I have found her on the 1936 Australian poll in Freemantle I can't get the address and full details. So if anyone could help there I would be most grateful.

Is there a marriage database for Australia where I might look up for a marriage of Leanie?

I still haven't found her sister Ellen C. Wilson in England but will keep looking.

I am in the doghouse for spending so much time today looking for rellies!  

I have found a Charles H. WILSON born in Stockport, Cheshire to a John Herbert Wilson and Nellie SHUTTLEWORTH. He is not my immediate family but the name and place mean he could be related - will investigate further, one of these days.

Horace R B JOSE (dob 1906) I can't find anywhere but when you see how many wiedly named JOSE's there are in Cornwall - I will leave him for another day.

Ellen C WILSON (dob 1913 West Ham) intrigues me. Why was she born there? They were all in Devon. If she is their daughter why didn't she travel to Australia with her mother? Could she be with her father?

I have a gap between them getting on the boat for   Freemantle in 1929 and the 1936 pollbook.

Perhaps Ellen didn't go with them and they took Charles H instead

I have read on Google a jeweller called Leonie WILSON  - she is far too young to be my Leanie but I wondered if she was related but I can't find an e-address for her. I tried The Red Lion site but nothing.

Bye for now

PS Sorry something happened and I posted before I was finished!

Good morning to my wonderful mice 
I have been checking up on your findings and they all seem to fit - you have accomplished in three days the problem I have been wrestling with for three years!

I have sent for Harry and Grace Annie marriage cert. I have also rechecked the 1911c and found them in Plymouth with one daughter Leanie Phyllis May Wilson (dob 1900). I have also corrected the 1911c as they had Harry born in Stockford instead of Stockport.
I think my next step is to find out the correct Harry or Grace death and send for their certs which may give me their daughters married names, if they were the ones who reported the death.

I haven't found a Charles WILSON so rather think he is a red herring.
Not sure I can do any more until the certs turn up, although I will have to find the other daughter Ellen.

Once again - thank you

Thank you all so much - you will never know how long I have been trying to find this chap!!

I am not sure about the 1946 marriage as it sounds a bit late and it also states it is Harry A WILSON and as far as I know he didn't have a second name.

Once again a big pat on the back and thank you.
