George Whiteley look up request
« on: Sunday 27 December 20 14:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi I'm trying to find details specifically any death record for George Whiteley.  His family of Fanny (wife) Constance Amelia (daughter) and Son ????? Watson Whiteley  are with a family Rowston in 1911 census they moved from Chorlton on Medlock (Manchester) to Great Grimsby between 1901 and 1911 I can't locate George either in Manchester or Grimsby and would appreciate any help or advice.  Fanny remarried in 1919 to a gentleman called White.

Constance was my grandmother and I would like to prove conclusively whether she was George's daughter or not. Her birth certificate doesn't name her father

Yes but I was unaware of the family moving to Grimsby and thought more info would be available on this board

We do tend to wander from county to county when doing lookups so you could carry on with your other post looking for Georges death.  :)

If Constances birth certificate does not name a father then it is unlikely to be George Whitely as Fanny could still have named him if he had died or left her after the baby was conceived.

Yes this is the right family

It seems odd that she called herself Fanny Whiteley in 1933 having married a White in 1919.

That is the family that was suggested on the other thread and is waiting for a response from Paul.
