Looking for Information - George & Olive OLIVER (Hereford County, England)

[Kris Nugent]

Hi,

I am looking for any information regarding George Oliver & Olive Harriet Oliver nee Freece (birth and death dates unknown). The names of their parents would also be valuable.

George and Olive were married (unknown date). I believe they lived at 2 Sunny Bank, Tredegar. George's occupation was a Colliery Labourer (below ground).

Their son, Albert James Oliver, was born on the 6th September, 1920 in Cobhall Common, Allensmore R.D. (Sub-District of Dawchurch in the County of Hereford).

Warm regards,

Kris

Olive's birth:

March qtr 1898
Hereford Registration District     vol 6a, page 473

Preece, Olive Harriet


The new GRO Index Search gives Mother's Maiden Names for nearly all births from 1837 to 1915. So:
PREECE, OLIVE  HARRIET   (Mother's Maiden Name:)   COTTERELL      
GRO Reference: 1898  M Quarter in HEREFORD  Volume 06A  Page 473

Also:

PREECE, ALBERT  HENRY      COTTERELL      
GRO Reference: 1893  D Quarter in HEREFORD  Volume 06A  Page 458

PREECE, GERTRUDE  ALICE      COTTRILL      
GRO Reference: 1891  S Quarter in HEREFORD  Volume 06A  Page 457

PREECE, ARTHUR  ROSSOR      COTTRELE      
GRO Reference: 1887  J Quarter in HEREFORD  Volume 06A  Page 469

PREECE, EDWARD  JAMES      COTTERELL        
GRO Reference: 1889  D Quarter in HEREFORD  Volume 06A  Page 465


All that points to this marriage:
September qtr 1886
Hereford Registration District     vol 6a, page 813

Preece, James
Cotterell, Priscilla

(but you need to evidence to back this up. Censuses?)

Did Olive remarry?

Marriage June quarter 1936 at Weobley Herefordshire
Olive H Oliver
James E Phillips

Looks to be living in Taunton Somerset in 1939

so might be this death:
Olive H Phillips died September quarter 1957 age 59 in Taunton, Somerset

This looks like Olive and family on the 1901 census: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X9BT-K1N

Added: On the 1891: https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:4TZP-L2M

May be a coincidence, but a death: March 1951 PREECE Priscilla 84 Taunton 7c 304. Fits with the birth year on the 1901 census.

Thank-you all for your wonderful information. It really helps.

How would I go about finding more information about George Oliver, Olive's first husband? There seems to be little information regarding him.

Cheers,

Kris

There are too many George Olivers out there to be certain which one is yours

I think you need the Marriage Certificate, to get some clues?
That will show Father's name & Occupation, George's address, age (maybe!), and occupation.
