looking for some family details for Joseph lee born Rhyl?
« on: Tuesday 10 February 15 11:33 GMT (UK) »
Hi All
I have been trying to find some marriage details for a Joseph Lee, born I believe in Rhyl, north wales, he married a Gladys Darcey but no dates on that only that he joined the army in about 1939. I understand he was stationed for a time in the Doncaster area as he met Gladys in Burghwallis, Doncaster where the some of the Darcey family lived. Gladys I do know was born in Burghwallis in 1922 and died in Grantham, Lincolnshire in 2006.
Any details would be most welcome.

Thanks for looking

Best fit for a birth is:

P.S. I assume both are now deceased?

Hi,

 http://yorkshirebmd.org.uk have the marriage as follows,

1944
St Helen, Burghwallis Doncaster
LEE Joseph W R
DARCY Gladys

The GRO image does show DAVEY so I expect it was a transcription error when it was entered into the marriage index.


The birth for Gladys also has a transcription error, this time on Ancestry where they have her as Cledys DARCEY although the image shows her as Gladys.

Gladys DARCEY    Sep Q 1922    Doncaster    9c  1548
mmn:  BRADBURY 


Regards,
Daisy

Doesn't appear to have been any children born to the 1944 marriage.

wow thanks for all the help
all this info is very helpfull, there were no children from the marriage, the transcription error was throwing me off, looks like i can add this to the darcey file, and also both parties are deceased so this will not cause any upset.
once again thanks to you all for the replies.
