Richard H Eagles born in Plymouth 1955 to parents Peggy Barnett and Frederick Eagles, trying to find out if he married and had a family? Any help much appreciated - thank you -

There is a marriage for someone of that name, but later than one would expect and completely away from that area.

Yes is it the one in 1990 to Sally Bickerstaff? I can't find any links to connect it to my Richard Eagles???

There is another Richard H. Eagles born in the area of the marriage, so I don't think it is yours.

What happened to Frederick and Peggy? Not seeing any sign of them.

Peggy died in 2005 Chichester but Frederick is a mystery, Peggy and Frederick married in the 50's but must have divorced as she went back to the name of Barnett from her first marriage as that was her name at death.

Could Richard have been adopted or be under the name Barnett?

Peggy's death cert. might list him as an informant.

There's a Lesley Barnett listed at the same address as a Peggy W Barnett in Chichester for the 2002 electoral roll. Does that mean anything?

No he wasn't adopted the parents married but there seems to be no sign of Richard or Fredrick Eagles now very strange perhaps they both left the country???

But Barnett was her maiden name surely? .

Are you certain Richard is their son? I ask because the MMN on the record is Barnett but her maiden name is Pratt I believe.

She and Frederick married in 1965.

Linked thread? (if I have got this all wrong I apologise and will delete all references)

Hi yes she was born Pratt married Barnett in 40's then Eagles in 50's children I can find are Richard in Plymouth 1955 and Lesley in Chichester 1966 that's all. Why she died as Barnett I don't know??? I can't find any trace of the Eagles husband Frederick maybe he moved abroad or chnaged his name????

Do you have Richard's birth certificate to confirm the parentage? There is another Eagles/Barnett marriage in 1953, Kensington, which could be more likely to be his parents.

You should have stuck to one thread so people could see what has been found before.

Spouse Surname: Eagles
Date of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1965

Death matches the birth

Date of registration: Mar 2005
Age at Death: 82
Registration district: Chichester

Register number: 15AD

Entry number: 47

If she married Frederick Eagles in 1965 also her maiden name was Pratt ,so as Flip says the birth of Richard probably belongs to another couple anyway.

The only way of finding out is to purchase the marriage cert for 1965

Bit confused over Lesleys birth to be honest...maybe Frederick was not on the scene after the marriage?? or there was more than one Peggy W J

There is a Peggy W and a Peggy W.J. - have put on other thread - and my feeling is these are getting tangled up together.
It might help if we knew the starting point for this query.

Hi yes think now it has got a bit tangled up, start at the marriage of Frederick Eagles to Peggy Barnett in 1965, need to work from there and se if any children born - soz for all confusion -

brummiejan Report 12 Mar 2012 08:54

Posy, do remember that when you search for births you must use her maiden name not Barnett! Good luck.
Have you also checked to see if any other members share these relatives by using 'search trees' above?

Just one more thought - she didn't marry Fred till she was about 43/44 so you might not find any offspring!
