Lancashire / Margaret Richardson - B. c1879 in Blackburn, Lancs
« on: Tuesday 23 October 07 10:39 BST (UK) »
I wonder whether anyone could help me to find out more about Margaret to enable me to establish a link with her being in Shrewsbury in Shropshire earlier in her life?
I have found Margaret born in Blackburn in c1879, but no specific DOB. She married Ernest Charles Whittick (b. 5 June 1877) in Blackburn (again no date known). They had two children Henry John (b. 4 Dec 1909) and Kenneth Watson (b. 5 Mar 1915) but i don't know their POB.
The detail that alerted me to a possible Midlands link was that Ernest died in WOLVERHAMPTON, Staffs on 24 Jun 1926. I haven't been able to find a death date/place for Margaret.
You may wonder why i am trying to find a link with Shropshire? Well, my Nan Dorothy Richardson was born in Wellington Workhouse on 28 Apr 1908, and Margaret Richardson is given as her Mothers name but no Fathers name is given on the Birth cert. My Nan grew up there, never knowing her parents and left aged 13.
I found a Margaret Richardson in the 1901 census working as a domestic servant in a public house in Shrewsbury and her given age ties in with 1879/1880.
I have tried everything without success to trace Margaret thereafter, and a couple of lovely Rootschat people have tried in the Shropshire County section too.
I only came across the above information last night from the Family search website, so i wondered whether this was actually her, although i know it is a VERY long shot.
Please can anyone help me any further? Thanks for your time.
Regards, Erica.
