Edwards/Spendlove in Wales
« on: Tuesday 21 May 13 17:05 BST (UK) »
Hi,
I am stuck in my research for Nora/Norah Edwards who married a Spendlove. She was born between 1912 and 1918 I think. She could have been born in Coedkernew, Duffryn or New Tredegar. She had at least two brothers - Frederick and John. She may have had a daughter called Sylvia. As I can find no trace, I am wondering if Nora was her middle name or just a pet name.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
John.

Hi

Where does she fit into you FH?  Who were her parents?

When and where were her brothers born - before or after 1911

There is no marriage between a female Edwards (of any christian name) and a male Spendlove - where did you get the Spendlove surname from?

The only Sylvia Spendlove birth was in 1920 in Nottingham

Could she have married more than once?

I'm not finding any marriage in England or Wales of any Nora or Norah of any Surname to a Spendlove.

The only wild possibility is that Nora/Norah was her middle name and looking at the possible marriages it would have to be a second marriage for her!

The names are from an elderly relative (now deceased) I have not found anything to confirm the details. I have found the brothers - Frederick Edwards (1913 Duffryn) and John Edwards (1915 New Tredegar). The parents were Thomas William Edwards and Susan Blanche Edwards/Marsh. Thanks for trying.

Someone has suggested it could be Spendelove instead of Spendlove, or another spelling.

There are 4 Edwards children born in Monmouthshire, with a mother's maiden name of Marsh:

1913 Frederick
1915 John
1921 Haydn M
1923 Gordon F

No sign of a Nora?

If you search Edwards marriage to Spend** - you still don't get any matches that look like a Nora

Searching freebmd births for Edwards with mothers maiden name Marsh does not show any birth of a daughter between 1911-1925

It's a bit of a mystery, but thanks for all your help.
Nora was supposed to have a daughter - Sylvia - but I can't find her either.
I have found a Lawrence Spendlove who might be her husband, but he seems to be a bit older than her (1885).
