A trip down Memory Lane!!!!!!!!
« on: Sunday 18 July 10 21:36 BST (UK) »
Hi to all out there,
I am looking to find anyone who is linked to, has information on or knew about Barbara Joan Izzard. She was born in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, England in1925, married to Arthur Boot in Hitchin in1944 and after having 4 girls sadly passed away in Leicestershire in 1954 aged just 28yrs old!!!. She was my Grandma and my mother was only 4yrs old when she died so remembers nothing about her and my Grandad took all memories of her to his grave, having never talked about his first wife and their mother - he just would never do it????
I understand that her father was called Herbert Izzard and her mother was called Elsie May Izzard (nee Clark) Herbert re-married after Barbara's mother Elsie died but we don't know who to but understand there was a stepsister to Barbara who also lived in Hitchin called Ruby Kemp and she was married to a Frank Kemp.
I appear to have a lot on information yes, but have come to a dead end and am looking for anyone down in Hitchin, Hertfordshire who may know more....... We don't know if Grandma - Barbara Boot once married had any other step brothers or sisters, if they had children and so on???????

Lots of questions as we are just beginning, but not many answers other than what we have above and no photo's..... any help would be much appreciated - local press can they help? Thanks Bella :)

Hi welcome to Rootschat.

I don't know if you have these dates from Freebmd:

Marriage

Herbert Izzard to Elsie M Clark
September quarter 1924
Hitchin 3a 1978

Birth

Barbara Izzard ( mother Clark)
June quarter 1925
Hitchin 3a 1224

There don't appear to be any more Izzard children with a mother Clark.

I also cant see a death for an Elsie M Izzard apart from one in 1901. This was a one year old child.

There also aren't any more marriages for  a Herbert Izzard between 1924 and 1983.

Not a lot of help I'm afraid

Hi Carole

Good find. What date does Freebmd go up to for deaths? I couldn't see that.

Ruby may possibly have been the daughter of Herbert Izzard's second wife

There is no Herbert Izzard marriage in Herts after 1945
