Margaret Finlay - married Jamaica 1932

[mazzie74]

Hi

Margaret Finlay was born in York, England late 1907, but was brought up in Northumberland, England.

Daughter of Joseph Finlay (1875-1957) and Jane Richardson (1874-1936).

I can't seem to find her after the 1921 England Census where she is living with her parents and siblings in Morpeth, Northumberland, England.

There are no marriages in the UK that fit and no obvious death.

She doesn't seem to be on the 1939 Register.

Ancestry and FamilySearch have a marriage in Elgin, Jamaica 8th June 1932 of a Margaret Finlay, born about 1907 (daughter of Joseph Finlay) to a Jabez Samuel Daley (son of John Finlay and Catherine Daley - not sure why he has his mother's surname).

Can anybody please tell me if this is my Margaret Finlay?

I can't find any other records of either Margaret Finlay (Daley) or her husband (no emigration or deaths, or any children) in any country.

Can anybody please help?

Thanks.

I see that the Margaret Finlay who married in Jamaica was an illiterate labourer. Does that seem likely?

Thanks Shaun

Probably not.

I didn't notice that

Thanks
