Ethel Quin

It's all a wild goose chase until those certificates are obtained.

Notwithstanding the facts that its been looked at up, down and sideways on the previous thread.
 If something was there to be discovered it would have happened already.

I’m sharing on the Lancashire forum in case someone has any knowledge of the Wills side

 If you wish to move the topic to a different board we can simply move the topic for you, it best not to duplicate posts.

You are absolutely right, Pauline.

The trouble is, Derek, that in making another post you are risking people spending a lot of time researching things that have already been researched. 

And if we can't prove Ethel Wills is YOUR (or your contact's) Ethel Quin, it's even more wasted time going over ground that's already been covered.

Just to say , I've created a (currently) 82 person >230 record (private) Ancestry research tree on this subject. 

Does it include the baptism of Ethel Wills? You were (slightly!) wondering if you had the right parents
29 January 1928, St Clement Salford
Abode 111 Robert Hall Street

Thank you - I'll add that!!
Robert Hall Street is a very familiar address for the family.

Added - it doesn't mention the actual date of birth does it??

Hi
It's not on there no.
Siblings baptisms?

Someone with the same GRO page ref as Ethel (five in all)
Leonard W Higgins   
He may have died in Manchester in 1999, d-o-b 18 Jan 1928   
Could be a good omen!

oh a very cunning sideways move there, Jon, to check the possible dob ahead of certificate......I'll make a note of that technique.

It has many limitations!
You usually get a few with similar birth dates on the same page.
Generally I think parents didn't rush down to the register office. But there will always be the exceptions who did it double quick, or were a bit late.

That baptism date is quite promising, at least it isn't before the hoped for date of birth!
Well done and good luck
John

On 3rd May 1947 she married Victor Charles Lewis Glenister in Wycombe Bucks and had a daughter born on 10th October 1947. They divorced in 1948 and she left the daughter with her husband and his family.

Sorry, not going to read through 11 pages.  I did start, too many conflicting statements.

I thought that in the 1940's you could not get a divorce after less than 2 years marriage, do not know if this was discussed in the 11 pages?

Probably does not make any difference to the outcome, just interested.
