42 Oyster Street, Portsmouth electoral roll look up 1912/1913

[Dorey]

I wonder if anyone would be so kind as to help me?

Would you be able to look at the electoral roll for 1912/13/14 for 42 Oyster Street, Portsmouth.

I am trying to find out if a lady called Beatrice Maud(e) Field is living there?

Thank you in anticipation

[Dorey]

I am trying to find my husbands grandmother birth

The only thing I have is their marriage certificate and that she married to;

Sidney Davis on 3rd June 1912 at Stroud Register office, he was 36 years old a bachelor and just come out of the Army, 1st battalion of the Gloucesertshire Regiment and had been discharged from Cambridge Barracks, Portsmouth on 13 May 1912.   He was born in Randwick near Stroud and his father William Davis was deceased.

Beatrice Maud(e) Field married on 3rd June 1912 at Stroud Register office, she was 24 years old, her occupation was Laundress and her residence at the time of her marriage was Rodborough, her fathers name was Alfred John Field whom she states was a salesman.

The witnesses were E Rowles and A Rowles

I know Sidney and Beatrice moved to Croston, Preston, Lancashire shortly after this and had six children.

She died near Croston (Ormskirk) on 19 February 1955

I cannot field her birth, can anyone help or suggest what I should do.  I can find lots of Beatrice Field's but none with a father called Alfred.

1901 has a Beatrice Godwin with father Alfred. She married a Mr Field and can be seen as Beatrice Maud Field on 1911

But her father, although having the right Christian name, is not a salesman. And of course he is Goodwin not Field, and she would not be a spinster at the time of the marriage to Sidney.

So probably a red herring!

It is possible that she will not appear on the register as women did not generally get the vote at that time  

[Dorey]

Hey Lizdb

Yes, I found this around 10 years ago.  Thats why I have to find out if Beatrice Maude Field at 42 Oyster Street is there after 1912 as I have checked out all the other Beatrice Maude's born around 1886/87/88 and they have come to nothing.

She had six children and one lived in London and used to holiday at Southsea.  He always used to say that's were his Mum came from.

Any help or advise would be much appreciated.

[Dorey]

Oh no.  Can you advise of anything else I could do?

Have you looked for her in the 1939 Register to obtain a birthdate?

[Dorey]

Have you looked for her in the 1939 Register to obtain a birthdate?

sorry what is the 1939 register?

[avm228]

I must say Beatrice Field nee Godwin looks an extremely strong possibility, especially with the Southsea connection.

Perhaps her marriage did not last.  Have you found her husband (John Christopher M Field per the 1905 marriage registration) in 1911 or later records?
