Ethel Quin

[CaroleW]

A Geoffrey G Baird married in 1959 in Kent.  This birth matches his death birthdate

March qtr 1929 Geoffrey G Baird mmn Soper Barton on Irwell 8c 845

Death
 
Geoffrey Graham Baird b 10.3.1929 died 1994 Bexley

That shortens his return to between 1953-1959

I see that probate was granted for an Ethel Quin in Manchester on 3/2/1941 with the first beneficiary being Charles Quin.  I wonder if these could be her parents?  Thinking she might have gone home before joining the Land Army.

[Nookie]

Looking better - Ethel and Charles lived in Salford, Manchester.  Possibly Ethel Quin/Glenister/Baird was named after her mother.

I cannot trace a divorce in South Africa for Geoffrey and Ethel.

She joined the land army in June 1945..unfortunately the marriage certificates I have  do not show parents names or occupations.

[Nookie]

Could have gone to stay with her dad Charlie.

Strange that neither of her marriage certs show a fathers name.  That usually only happens if a child was illegitimate

Ethel Quin death 1941 - born 1882 per 1939 register

No children in 1939.  Charles Quin only married Ethel Kelsall Crookell in 1937.  Probate for Ethel was granted to Harold Crookell lance corporal HM army

Harold Crookell b 1911 - mmn Kelsall
George Crookell b 1902 mmn Kelsall  died 1905

No Crookell/Kelsall marriage

Don't think they are connected to this Ethel Quin

[Nookie]

Wishful thinking on my part I reckon
