Winnifred May Bird 33 Russell Rise, Luton
« on: Sunday 09 April 23 11:59 BST (UK) »
Trying to trace ancestors and have had reasonable success, although all known are deceased. My aunt was Winnifred May Bird last known census 1932 living with brother's Arthur and Jack (Hayden) and mother Minnieat 33 Russell Rise, Luton.  She was born in 1905. Did she marry and when did she die? I hope someone can assist. My father moved to Southern Rhodesia only returning for service in the RAF during WW2. Thank you.

Hi there - there wasn't a census in 1932, do you mean maybe a electoral register or other record?

Looking at freebmd the most likely marriage would be the 1936 to Harold E Turner, followed by a death in 1964 (as Winifred M Turner - age does seem approx correct).  All these events are in Luton district.

He may have previously married to Lilian V Young (she died maybe 1932), in which case there were children to this marriage (I cannot see children for the Turner/Bird marriage).

Unless someone can confirm from another source, the marriage certificate might be the only evidence to show if this is the right Winifred.

Hi Ken

Welcome to RootsChat  :)

Do you have an actual date of birth in 1905 for Winnifred? The 1939 register shows 23 April 1905 for the Winnifred who married Harold Turner.

A family tree has her husband as Ernest Sidney Sanders and her death 14 July 1932 but can't vouch for the accuracy of that.
