The Common Room / 1939 Register HELP PLEASE
« on: Thursday 24 December 15 14:28 GMT (UK)  »
Here's hoping somebody can help.

One of my relatives is correctly shown on the register as Marie M F Parker which was her married name although she had divorced by 1939.  In red is her maiden name of Preston and also another name of Davies.

I assumed Davies would be the name of a second husband, but I cannot find any marriage records of her marrying a Davies post her divorce and into the 1980s.

My question is, therefore, is what does the Davies name signify - if not a husband could she have just lived with a Davies?

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks

US Lookup Requests / SCRANTON PA BIRTH RECORD
« on: Friday 20 March 15 14:16 GMT (UK)  »
I live in the UK and wondered if anybody could help me confirm a birth date for one of my ancestors.

Her name was Alice Mary Whittington and she was born in Scranton PA between October 1884 and January 1885  -  possibly in November 1884, but I can't be certain.  Her parents were Richard and Alice.

If anybody can help at all I would be most grateful.

Thanks in advance

Family History Beginners Board / Help Please re Georgina Helen Preston nee Fleming
« on: Friday 13 December 13 16:38 GMT (UK)  »
I'm not a beginner, but would appreciate some help in finding this lady on the 1901 census.

Some details are as follows: She was born on 4th July 1859 in Scotland, but spent most of her life in England.  She married John Frederick Preston on 1st October 1896 in Sheffield.

The problem in tracing her is that she was an actress and moved around the country a great deal.  By 1901, she had left her husband (who I have traced in 1901) and could have been living anywhere - even back in Scotland.

All my efforts to find her in 1901 have drawn a blank, so any help/suggestions would be gratefully received.

Thanks
