Vera Daisy Linford

[Keitht]

My paternal grandmother was a Linford frpm Aston, so that I have a wide variety of Linfords on my family tree

Suddenly, on the maternal side of my tree Vera Daisy Linford, born Aston, 1913, shows up as having married a William Harold Boulton in Birmingham in 1936. She does not appear on my tree and a record search did no more than confirm her birth, mmn Cheshire, marriage and death in Birmingham, Mar 1991.

Please can anyone tell me where Vera Daisy fits into the Aston Linford family, for I find it unlikely, though not impossible that there were two unconnected families of that name in that area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

All help much appreciated.

Have you found a Linford / Cheshire marriage to give potential parents names?

Fanny Louisa Cheshire
Spouse Samuel Kibby

Edit to add children of Fanny & Samuel

Thanks Ladyhawk.

The connections become more and more intriguing> My father was very friendly with the Kibby family but I never realised it went further than that.

Here’s Fanny’s birth entry

CHESHIRE, FANNY  LOUISA  mmn   BARRETT 
1881  M Quarter in ASTON  Volume 06D  Page 385

1881 census return gives name as Cheshire. By 1891 it's given as Cheshirer, 23 Little Francis St., Saltley.

Samuel Kibby died Q2 1912, Aston.

Samuel Kibby died Q2 1912, Aston.

Free search 1939 register appears to show no Henry with Fanny you would need to view to check if she’s widowed - it appears her married daughter Daisy and family are with her Daisy married Dec 1925

Birmingham C.B. Warwickshire
Fanny L Linford 1881
Daisy L Crawford 1899

Fanny’s death

Sep 1954   Birmingham    9c   296
LINFORD    Fanny L    age 73   

There are quite a few Henry Linford’s on the censuses so difficult to know which might be the correct Henry that married Fanny you would need to check the m/c for his occupation and fathers name

I wonder if this might be Fanny’s second husbands death this is the only one that showed when searching FreeBMD for deaths between 1913 - 1939 Warwickshire

Sep 1919   Aston    6d   395
LINFORD  Henry    age 52   

Possibility 1881 c

The Charles and Emma Linford you've identified are my great grandparents and the Henry/Harry you identify was my grandmother's brother, who died in 1919. His first wife, Catherine Blackwell, died in 1910 so I think he must be a strong candidate.
