Thanks for the tree .I will alert my adoptee match for when she works out her Quin connection tho suspect.I will have to do.it for her when I get a chance as I said at moment its just a cluster of matches one could be her a birt parent of  birth mothers b 1914... ie a grandparent

I can confirm the Ethel was adopted on 20/11/1930 by William George and a Florence  Quin and the address listed 12 West Richmond Street, Salford.

That makes sense with the "George" Quin named as father in Ethel's marriage to Charlie Richardson, who - as we've noted before - is a General Fitter (engineering) on the 1939 Register.  They are her maternal grandfather, and step grandmother.

In 1939 when Ethel was only 11, she does not appear with William George and his wife Florence (Barrow) Quin, at 15 Earl Street, Salford.  With the couple is James Henry Lowe (born 1914, so 25 years old), Florence's son from her first marriage.

I've not been able to find an entry for Ethel in the 1939 with any of the family (including Florence Barrow's relatives), or a redacted entry which might be her.

Is there an outside chance she was evacuated?  It started beginning of Sept & the 1939 register was 29th

Maybe you're right, Carole.

Given the complexities we have uncovered I don’t think her 1939 entry will be opened until after 2028

Unless she was taken into care ? Considering how many times she married and also changed her identity she may have had some emotional issues or something ? ( just speculation) and could have taken into some kind of care home ? Her address on the land army is different from the main family home. So she moved address within Salford .

And no obvious connections between most of them
..of course they would not be a biological match to.Ethel but I will look out for florence Quin from salford .now

Florence was William George Quin's second wife.  They married in the Oct qtr 1924

She was born Florence Barrow (1889 Salford), and married John Lowe (1873-1924), and they had one son James Henry Lowe, born 1914 who is with his mother and stepfather in the 1939.
