Beatrice Digby and Mabel Digby
« on: Thursday 18 June 20 05:38 BST (UK) »
I am new to this. I cannot find two sisters. I have lots of info but they seem to draw a blank. Can anyone help please?

Beatrice Digby b 1906 to Walter Digby and Helen Pidgeon Howlett in Hanover gardens district of London.
Mabel Digby b 1908. Same parents. She apparently married twice, the second time to a rich American called Jack (surname maybe Garrett) and went to live in Texas, by the 1950s.

I’ve found the rest of the ten siblings including Alice who shares a middle name with one of these sisters. But Mabel and Beatrice .....they disappear. Can anyone help me please? It’s so frustrating!

A Mabel Alice Digby married John Patrick Hartigan Q3/1933 Islington 1b/481

In 1939 they are on the Electoral Register in Liverpool Rd Islington but you will need to see the 1939 register to check the DOB.

It is always worth posting it gives us something to investigate  ;D.

Colin have you found the couple who married in Islington on the 1939 register as I can't see them at that address.  I think they are listed at separate addresses

Hi Rosie, I hoped someone else might find them I had no success.
I note that the 1939 register does not seem to list the borough of Islington but my knowledge of the Boroughs in 1939 is limited?
