I'm having trouble with my Great-Grandmothers family that were in Rotherham. This is the information I currently have.
My great-grandmother is called Elizabeth Varley. Her maiden name is either Wadkin or Watkin and I have seen it as both along records. I have her birth certificate and it states her mothers name as Annie Wadkin. She was born on 21st January 1912. There was no name down for her father.
She was married twice. Her first marriage was to George Herbert, with whom she had 2 sons. On the record I found for their marriage her surname was down as Wadkin.
She was also married to Harry Harvey (My great-grandfather) which I bought the marriage certificate for. This states her fathers name as Joseph Watkin who was a Steel worker. She had 6 kids with Harry after their marriage sixteenth July 1945.
On all her children's birth indexes their mothers surname alternates between Wadkin and Watkin.
She died in March 1980 in Rotherham.
I am unable to find any marriage between a Annie and Joseph in the area and am a bit stuck. I have no close living relatives that would know anymore information than I have. Any help would be appreciated.
Harvey, Hawes, Theaker, Senior, Watkin, Slack, Simmons, Hague, Hillery, Graver, Houldershaw, Catchpole, Nixon, Evison, Weeden/Weedon.
