Lancashire / Mary Ann McCormick
« on: Sunday 03 May 20 10:40 BST (UK)  »
The above was born in Widnes on 13th March 1921. According to the 1939 England & Wales Register she is listed as Mary A Barber (McCormick) living with her parents Michael & Ada.

The query is she did not marry Kenneth Barber until 1944 so I wonder why she took his name in 1939?

I would be very grateful, as per usual, of any help.

Breconshire / Re: Esther May DUROE b 1898 circa.

Thank you to everyone. It seems to me the entry on the 1911 Census is incorrect as Esther's surname should have been listed as Conway or her grandparents had adopted her. Anyway it solves my problem. Thanks again, David

Breconshire / Esther May DUROE b 1898 circa.

I am looking for the parents of the above. All I have to go on is the 1911 Census when Esther was living with grandparents John Duroe & Mary nee, Conway in Idridgehay, Derbyshire. The Census states Esther's birthplace was "Brecon, South Wales Breckonshire" and she was aged 13 at that time. I have all the children of John & Mary and all appeared to have stayed in and around Derbyshire so I am somewhat baffled by this detail. If anyone can shed any light on the situation I would be very grateful. Regards, David

PS. I know there can be several spellings of Duroe such as Durow, Duro & Durose

It appears we are talking about two different Edwards. As I have said before there were a plethora of Tredwells in this next of the woods. The one I am interested in had parents John Tredwell & Jane Hawes. I have found no children so far for the Edward baptised at Bucknell as he is the brother of William 1738-1807 who is my 5th great grandfather and that is where my real interest lies. I am still not comfortable with Lighthorne marriage as this is well over 20 miles away from Bucknell which, in those days, was a considerable distance although I do not doubt that event happened albeit to another Edward.

Hi Trish,

No confusion. Did the Edward you find have the parents, John & Jane? I'm not disputing the fact he married in Lighthorne, Warwickshire nor that he died in Harbury.

Hi Trish,

Thanks for that. My Edward was born and baptised at Bucknell in 1736 with parents of John & Jane. I know there are hundreds of Tredwell/Treadwells in this area which has only exacerbated the situation, David

Hi Claire,

Many thanks for your reply. I think it was assumed that as Edward was born and baptised in Bucknell that is where he married but as you say there is no firm evidence of that. Lighthorne is around 20 miles away, quite a distance in those days but the course of true love and all that..............

Thanks again, David

Edward was born on 15th November 1736 at Bucknell, Oxfordshire and baptised there on 30th November 1736. It is thought he married Ann at Bucknell on 3rd September 1763 but can anyone confirm this please. Thanks in advance, David
