Ethel Quin

[Nookie]

There are the possible immigration papers in Cape Town for them (as posted previously).  Correct initials and date frame.  Think it might be worth getting them.

My post on the South African site has thrown up (from England) a Mary Ethel Quinn with the same date of birth. He is emailing me the paperwork to look at.

Selina is Farrell but the birthyear of the redacted entry is just visible - 1935

Sorry, should have looked more closely, you are right on both counts.

A correction - it was Mary E Quinn (double n) born 19/1/1929 and living at 57 Rothwell Street, Bolton, Lancashire with John W Yates and May E Quinn - parent, together with Norman 28/11/1927 and John R 7/7/1931.  John and May were married, but he was obviously not the father of the three children.

Wonder if Ethel could have dropped her first name?

Okay I am losing the plot!  Mary was born on 19/1/1929 not 1928 - sorry!

My personal opinion is that SA was a non-event - see reply 34

1959 marriage cert needed for Graham to check his marital status and a search for an English divorce between 1952-1959

Carole got in just ahead of my posting - I agree, the Baird 2nd wedding cert is an important document to get. 

With regard to the 1939 entry Nookie posted, yes the year of birth is different
Also, looking at the 1939 entry, I'm not convinced the children's surnames are Quinn  - I think the enumerator has left all the surname entries blank (as he/she has further down the page) to indicate they are all Yates.

Added, yes - there are matching birth refs for all three children as YATES with MMN Pasquil(l)
Further added:  and May E Yates married Leonard Quinn in 1953 in Bolton.
So we can def rule out that 1939 Register entry.

Don't get your hopes up here because I'm not sure.  Also -some names may have to be left out in case I have got the wrong marriage & they are still living

Graham Baird remarried March qtr 1959

In the same qtr & year - an E Q married a C R in Berkshire
