Marriage of Patty Florence Shaw to Thomas Dyson
« on: Tuesday 12 December 23 11:47 GMT (UK) »
Trying to find marriage of Patty (also known as Pattie) Florence Shaw (nee Hirst) to Thomas Dyson, iron moulder, between 1912 and 1921. Have tried all name variations I can think of. Any help welcome.
Patty was born 8 April 1884 (bapt 26 Dec 1886). Her father was Fred Hirst, a mechanic.
She married William Edwin Shaw 19 Feb 1906, a master butcher, at Crosland Moor near Huddersfield, Yorkshire but he died in 1912.
In the 1921 census she is listed as Pattie Dyson (wrongly transcribed as Pallice) age 37 married to Thomas Dyson 44, an iron moulder, living at 11 Henry Street, Shipley (near Bradford) Yorkshire. The 2 daughters, Constance & Megan, are hers from her marriage to William Edwin Shaw.
Patty & Thomas are still at this address on the 1939 register.
Have tried all variations I can think of on FindMyPast, Ancestry and Family Search to no avail.

It is possible that they did not get married for whatever reason. Thomas may already have been married and wasn't free to marry again. Have you found him in the 1911 Census and was he single ?

Yes. I have considered they were "living over the brush". He is still at home with his parents and single in 1911. I will try another search and see if I can come up with a possible marriage for him between 1911 and 1921.

They had a child together in 1914 so that might narrow your options for a previous marriage for Thomas.

What birthplace is shown for him on the 1921 census?

William Edwin Shaw mother Mary Ann Jebson father James Henry Shaw.  Birth reg Sept qtr 1882 Huddersfield

William Ewart Shaw was b Bradford June qtr 1882 & the 1912 death is in Bradford so is not the death of the husband of Pattie.    He is also not the 1936 death in Huddersfield - that was William Edgar Shaw also b 1882 Huddersfield

Would suggest you check the 1921 census for William Edwin Shaw b Huddersfield.  If he was still alive - hence no marriage to Thomas Dyson

I have been checking my notes and realise I have mistakenly put William Edwin Shaw's death as 1912. As Carole W has noted that was William Ewart - a basic mistake.
William Edwin is in the 1911 census in Lockwood, Huddersfield so his death is post 1911 but I have been unable to find it. However, I think I have found him in the 1921 census in the army as a private, single, in Ringley Ave, Horley, Surrey. The barracks is listed as Gatwick Camp, Horley, Type - Detachment, 4th Battalion, Queen's Royal Regiment (Defence Force). He might have put single because his wife had left him. I have been unable to find any other army record.
If this is the right one, it would explain why there is no record for Patty Shaw's marriage to William Dyson.
Any help tracing his death or any military records would be welcome.
Thank you to all the contributors so far.

If William Edwin was in the army in 1921 and Pattie was living with Thomas Dyson with just 2 of her children to William Edwin and 2 more to Thomas Dyson, it probably explains why her 2 other children were not there -  William Frederick Shaw is listed as Willie age 14 in a children's home at 24-26 Ramsden Street, Huddersfield and Zena his twin sister is a general domestic servant at Lymm in Cheshire. Presumably Thomas Dyson, or both of them, couldn't cope with twins as well as all the other children.
