Elizabeth Peacock (Born 1893/4)

[Bobcats]

Elizabeth's parents, James and Margaret (Nee Thorburn) were both deceased when she married Charles Morton Grieve 18 February 1915 at 31 Gayfield Square, Edinburgh. At the time she was residing at Cramond Brig Hall, Cramond, Edinburgh and was a Domestic Servant. According to the marriage Certificate her father was a Private Tutor.  I am unable to locate either a marriage or death for her parents, neither Elizabeth's birth or death.  She subsequently divorced Charles Grieve on 3 February 1917 on the grounds of infidelity and was then residing at Lennie Mains, 84 Cammo Road, Crammond, Edinburgh. I would be grateful for any assistance with Elizabeth and/or her parents.

Thank you

Where does she fit into your FH? 

Did she have a child by Grieve as 2yrs was quick for a divorce in those days.  If there was a child - what happened to it?

[Bobcats]

No, I have searched the English and Scottish births with no luck.

Where does she fit into your FH?

Her husband, Charles Morton Grieve married again in 1920 Jessie McNab, daughter of Donald and Jane McNab, Donald being the brother of my Great x 2 Grandfather David McNab

This may be a total red herring.  Charles was born 1887 which would make him 6 or 7yrs older than Elizabeth IF she didn't lie about her age when they married.

The 1901 has a 13yr old Elizabeth Peacock b Edinburgh working as a servant but I can't find her in 1891.  SP has 2 births - one 1888 & the other 1889.  Have you already checked those births?

[Bobcats]

Yes, I have also checked if she was born in Ireland or her parents were married there, no luck either!

Have you checked for a remarriage for her?

I take it Charles marriage in 1920 was as a divorcee.

James and Margaret (Nee Thorburn) were both deceased

Where have her parents names come from please?
