Trying to trace a Bernard Crehan, I'm not sure of his birthdate but probably between 1915-1919, he married or lived with a Georgina M Todd. I found them in 1948 living as man and wife in Hampstead and from 1951-1958 in Wandsworth. Then nothing after that...I do know that Bernard had a sister Margaret who married Georginas brother Joseph Todd in 1933..

:-S

His birth should be on FreeBMD or try looking for his sisters records ie her birth and marriage

I see her marriage but it doesnt list parents...

:-S

There appears to have been only 1 Bernard Crehan birth registered in England or Wales prior to 1938:

Births Jun 1906
Crehan Bernard Warrington 8c 238

Sister Margaret??

Births Jun 1894
Crehan Margaret Mary Warrington 8c 262

The cert will give their fathers name .if known and her age which will help identify her birth

Mmm the birth for Margaret in 1894 would make her in her 40s when she married and a good 10 years older that Joseph...

looks like there may be a daughter for margeret & joseph in 1937.

take a look on freeBMD

As Shirley advised you really need to obtain a copy of the 1933 marriage certificate to find out what age she was when getting married and who her father was. Crehan is of course a common surname in Ireland so perhaps Bernard and Mary originated there.

It looks possible that the 1933 marriage produced a child in 1937.

I did see a daughter for Pamela M G Todd but cant seem to find her listed anywhere else.. :-0

Oky Doky, your right!! will need to obtain the marriage cert to confrim parents of Margaret and Bernard..Thanks guys ;-)

Bernard was definatley arounf in 1959, living in Wandsworth with Georgina M ..It would appear they had a daughter Sandra H Crehan born 1948, I did see her on the genes site but she hasnt replied...Pity, it would save such a lot of going around in circles.. :-(

This is interesting:

Marriages Jun 1925 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grennan Isaac Todd Chester-le-S. 10a 1099
Todd Georgina Crennan Chester le S. 10a 1099

Interestingly Sandra A married in Melton Mowbray which is where Georgina died so looks like the family moved.

The death cert for Georgina will say if she was wife or widow of so you will know if Bernard was still alive then


Edit if you check her birth she is Sandra A not Sandra H

Wow!!! didnt notice that Georgina died in the same area as both Sallys marraiges, looks a strong possibility doeant it..Great stuff guys! well done...Have been in touch with a genes member who has David Alfred Hack and Lucy M Stubbs in his tree, so will see what happens, but thanks for all your help with this one..

<3

Thanks to all you guys for the help and additional information..I found them, and managed to bring 2 sisters together after 65 years of not knowing each other...I'm so very happy... <3 <3 <3
