making enquiries about a Miriam wright born bebbington in 1921 in holyhead I believe her mothers name was jane  many thanks for your help

[Mabel Bagshawe]

The only Miriam Bebbington marrige I can find to a Wright was in 1934. Suggests she was born earlier than 1921 - or she didn;t marry a Wright

The Miriam who married in 193 was from the Northwich area, b 1916 parents Arthur and Maud Christina

[Mabel Bagshawe]

OK - think I;ve cracked it (a bit). I suspect some mixing of generation and relations in the telling of the family hstory

Holyhead - 1901. All born there except as shown

Charles Bebbington    47 - railway signalman b Chester
Jane Bebbington    41 [nee WIlliams]
Margaret Bebbington    19
Louisa Bebbington    14
Mary E Bebbington    10
Charles R Bebbington    6
Richard Williams    44 - brother in law, railway goods porter

1911 - still in Holyhead. Daughter Margaret has married a Mr Wright

Not 100% dure about the marriage. Best fit is Maggie to James Henry Wright in Manchester, Q4 1907


Then - aha! A birth
