Charles Marslen/Cook

[Comberton]

Date of birth on 1939 Register for Beatrice M Austin with Alfred G Austin matches date of birth on baptism of Beatrice Mabel Henry, daughter of Beatrice Elizabeth Henry.

I don't know if you have this or if it your Charles but posting just in case. I see the daughter in 1915 was registered in Dover.

Certainly VERY interesting...

If Naomiīs son was named Charles Marslen Hoffman I suspect that Charles Marslen could be the father(?). It would be VERY interesting to find out if he has descendants and if I could get in contact with them. Itīs a bit difficult for me since they probably are still living. Is there any way to find out?

The marriage between Charles Marslen and Naomi Hoffman didnīt take place and the reason for that could be that Charles also were engaged with Beatrice Elisabeth Henry and married her in 1916. (busy fellow!) Also Beatrice gave birth to a daughter, Beatrice Mabel Henry, who was born 1915, out of wedlock. It would be most interesting to get in contact with her descendants also. According to FreeBMD Beatrice Mabel married a Alfred George Austin in 1934 and may have had four children: Malcolm 1935, Marlene 1938, Jane 1947 and Jill 1954. However, FreeBMD could be wrong???

Charles And Beatrice Elisabeth Henry also got a son, Charles Edward Marslen, in 1916 but sadly he died the same year. Also Charles Marslen was killed in action 15 Sep 1916.

If anyone has some tips of this I would be most grateful.
