Can someone please help me find this elusive lady ?

She appears on the 1939 Census in Yorkshire as an Assistant Nurse (but I can't read the address).


Is the 1939 Register record for Althea Newton, assistant nurse in Bedale?

If so she is not your girl as dob is wrong and she married 1944 to Sydney Metcalfe as Alethea.


For info.

she may still be redacted on 1939.

 I can find George, Florence and a younger daughter, but there is a locked name (on Ancestry) between parents and younger that could be her.

Added: looking at BMD there isn't another child in between Eleather and this other  daughter

There is a public tree on Ancestry but only mentions George & Florence’s daughter Muriel Leah Newton born 20 Sep 1923 died 31 Jan 2011 Manchester (Ms  Muriel Leah Dawson age 87)

WOW !! Thanks so much everyone for all your help and for turning up so much information I'd  missed, (which with a name like Aleathea isn't surprising, not to mention the mixed transcription of her wedding place).  Anyway, I'll go away and digest it all now Thank you again.  :D :D :D :D

She wasn’t Aleathea though.

Birth -1921
Eleather L Newton

Marriage 1940
Eleathea l Newton

Marriage 1982
Eleathea L Burney

Death 1992
Eleathea Louise Widdows

Her mother’s sister was registered as Eletha Elizabeth Edwards

Presumably she was named after her.
