Parentage of Molly Boyne (1916-2001) of the West Midlands
« on: Sunday 08 September 19 20:36 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone, i was wondering if you could help me to find who the parents of my final great grandparent are as i have had no luck. Her name is Molly Boyne, born on 15th October 1916 and married to a George William Gardner on 19th April 1938 in Smethwick. I am related to them through their daughter Janet Barbara born in 1943. Please could you help me to find Molly's parents as i have not been able to.

Thanks
Sarah

The marriage certificate would give you her father's name.
Would she be Irish by chance?

I have no clue where she's from, only that UK records have her birthday down as 16th October 1916, i don't know her parents names or anything either. I don't really speak to that side of the family.

If you get the marriage certificate as bev says, it will give you her father's name.

Marriages Jun 1938   
Boyne    Molly    Gardner    Smethwick    6b    2289
Gardner    George W    Boyne    Smethwick    6b   2289

It does sound very much like an Irish name.

You can order it from the GRO

You do need that marriage certificate.

There are no obvious Boyne births in Engoand.

Irish records show a birth 15th October 1916 for Mary Teresa Hynes with mother Boyne but that could be just coincidence.
Father, Charles, a sailor and mother Mary.

So you probably got the birth date from the death record.

You really need to get her marriage certificate to further your research into her.  Using her father's name and occupation you may be able to find him on either the UK 1911 census or the Irish 1911.

Do I assume you don't know whether she had any siblings?

You have got Molly marrying a Gardner, so where does the name Gronow come into the equation?
