Hi

This is for a fellow GR Member who has become stuck.

Can anyone find anything on the above named please - all Val has at the moment is the marriage to Ellen Treleaven in 1922 Newton Abbott.

I have suggested purchasing the marriage cert, but it would be good to help here if possible, especially the birth or something on a census (which I cannot find).

Thank you.

Kind regards

Dee

Theres no birth coming up using the details that you have given

Your friend really needs the marriage cert to check his age and his fathers name

Thank you Gins

This I have suggested, maybe he was illegitimate and therefore registered under a different name.

Kind regards

Dee

According to a tree on ancestry, with only names for Ernest and Ellen ........ he might be found as PERCY



Unfortunately there are quite a few Percy Radmores born in Devon!


she needs to get that marriage certificate to get the name of his father.

The marriage certificate would also give his age at marriage ............... assuming he told the truth!

Sylvia - how true!!
My husband's gt grandfather lied to narrow an age gap. He was 6 years out, and this was in the St Catherine's House days. 24 big books later.......................!!

It's not Ernest Henry - he married Bessie and she was his widow at Ernest's death in 1949.

How does Val know he was born in Torquay - or even Devon?

Janice Report 28 Aug 2012 23:57

The offspring from this marriage are in someone else's tree on here besides Val's. Has she contacted them?

Thank you everyone who has helped.

I am currently at work and will read the replies later when I get the time. Then I will contact the GR member I have tried to assist.

Thank you so much everyone for your input.
