Tyrone / Marriage in Cookstown of Elizabeth Mahaffey and Raymond DeWitt
« on: Monday 03 December 12 19:27 GMT (UK)  »
Is anyone able to look up a marriage between Elizabeth Mahaffey and Raymond Dewitt.  Sometimes I have seen DeWitt and Dewitte.

The marriage would be about 1944/45 - sorry I can't be certain but they had a daughter born about 1946.

Raymond Dewitt was in the U S Army Air Corps during WW11

Elizabeth Mahaffey was born in Lismahagow, In South Lanarkshire in 1925.

Elizabeth Mahaffey and her husband ended up living in USA as he was an American.

Her mother was Jane Taylor and father Matthew Mahaffey.

Looking forward to some guidance

Thanks your help. I have so many John Dunmores to sort out and I didn't know the spouse of this one.  I have sent for 2 marriage certificates yesterday to help me. I know they are expensive. I don't do it too often but they can help in many ways.

Your information is of great help. I don't think I am using the FreeBMD site correctly. When I put his name in it came up with no information. Will try again and see where I am going wrong but today I have one poorly granddaughter to look after and another grandson to look after when he arrives. Love your photo.

Thanks again
Elizabeth

Could someone please look up a marriage in Oakham for me in 1867.

I would like to know who John Dunmore married in District Oakham, 1st Quarter 1867?

Thank you

Glad I was able to help in some way.  My family history research covers Exton, Ashwell, Ayston, Preston and Ridlington and so I try any way to find out my information. I have a little booklet which gives information of who is buried in Ashwell Churchyard.

Lots of people on Rootschat have helped me and it is good to help in return.

Hi there

I discovered that Exton Parish Council have a website.  If you click on this you will find there is a lot of information on Baptisms, Marriages and Deaths associated with Exton Parish Church.  There is also a Churchyard Survey.  I have found this most useful.

Hope it is helpful to you.  There are lots of information on Dalby name but not Noble.  Did you find anything more about Elizabeth Noble.  Have you tried looking in records for Leicestershire?  I knew a Joyce Noble from Hallaton in Leicestershire; just a thought.

Regards

Thanks Andrew for your help with the Page family from Ridlington, Rutland. 

I have a second marriage for John Page which I think may have been possible.
Hannah Hall 3rd Quarter 1858 District Uppingham 7a/389
Death for Hannah Page 1st Quarter 1901 Aged 86 District Uppingham 7a/213
John Page would have been about 60 years on his second marriage

For the time being I will take it that there were two marriages.

With regard to Kitty Page in the Spring I will visit Wigston Records Office and see if I can find a copy of her Marriage Certificate. This may give me a bit more info. Yes, I was thinking of Catherine as an alternative name for Kitty but funny she was baptised as Kitty.

I went to PRONI in Belfast but should have gone to GRO.  Mum was born in Belfast. She was Elizabeth Taylor but most of her married life she was known as Lily Pykett not Elizabeth.  I looked at the Register for where she went to school in Belfast and was amazed to find her registered as Lily Taylor in August 1929. She must have been called Lily even in her younger days which I never knew.

I have a question to put to you about the Dunmores from Preston. Do I have to make a new post please?

Regards and thanks
Elizabeth :)

Rutland / Look up in Ridlington Parish Records
« on: Friday 23 December 11 07:01 GMT (UK)  »
I have the following information about Thomas Page (1771-1840) and his wife Mary Hidson (1775 - 1858)

Mary was born in Ayston, Rutland but I wonder if her name was Hudson and not Hidson.

They married in Ridlington Parish Church on 11th October 1795  (Can this be verified please)

Children born in Ridlington:-

John Page 1796
Elizabeth Page 1801
Mary Page 1803
Samuel Page 1806 - 1893
Thomas Page 1809 - 1879
William Page 1813 - 1903

I can find no information about John, Elizabeth and Mary Page.  Is there anything in the Ridlington Parish Records about these three? Does it show that the two women married please? There is the chance that they could have died young and be in the Death Records.

I have been able to find info out about Samuel, Thomas and William.

Thank you in anticipation of some help.

Regards
Elizabeth
