Orange Family Surname

[brigidmac]

On the 1939 register 3 of the 5 ORANGE children are named

the first and last children are redacted so could still be living .

John b 1926 d1978. # has descendants with trees on ancestry

Margaret b 1929 has the added surnames Pearson crossed out and TURLEY . In green

Constance# or christina b 1931 has added surname BLAKE  in blue so these are other surames to look out for

#According to trees daughter Maud b 1923 d 2008 husband may still be living one tree is from her direct  descendant

Given an address in Newcastle, I had a firkle in the records and did find a tentative link for an Alice Orange to Warden St - but not till 1945.

Boo! Oh Wow!

Firstly I have to say I have NEVER heard of the word 'firkle'!

If the amazing results you have produced are a result of 'firkling' we all need to learn how to do it.

I am truly amazed - 'well done' is an understatement.

DownUnder33 -- great idea to get a DNA test now and see what that brings up. Good Luck with it and I sincerely hope the results confirm the background of Alice for certain.

So sorry - I tried to quote PART of Boo's message, but my message appeared within the quote! Hope it's not too confusing.

 I was intrigued by the word firkle too.
Are we all firklers ?

When you edit a quote down to just a single sentence you must make absolutely certain you don’t delete [/quote] at the end. If you do delete it then what you say will appear as part of the quote (hope that makes sense).

Boo is noted for her firkling powers

I've been asked this before, (its a word I've used all my life and I always thought it was common) my interpretation is here:

Wow it is amazing research and an amazing story .

My apologies for sending you down wrong path at first

boos timeline makes it all hang together .

Good luck with the LYNAM  +ORANGE descendants and your DNA results.

Ps from 1911 census Alice's parents had been married 24 years and had 11 children
10 of them are on the census with them

All good Brigidmac, better to have multiple options and ideas put up than nothing at all. I appreciate it

Yes definitely 11 siblings, have collated all their names now. Very interesting story developing, Alice certainly lived a different life

Well done Boo on some great firkling!
Unfortunately I have no finds to report myself. Just updating now that I have been able to search through several Northumberland South cemetery records yesterday and have not been able to locate an Alice Orange death registered 1951.  I presume that will be her registered under original married surname?
So I wonder if death took place there but she is buried elsewhere .. perhaps Newcastle?
