Looks like Ada definitely did belong to Thomas Read and Alice Mary Ditchfield:

Surname Forename(s) Mother's Maiden Name Year Sub-District Registers At Region Reference

READ Ada DITCHFIELD 1885 St Peters Preston Lancashire ST.P/21/32

Richard,

The Glaister girls all have second names in census 1911, so you should find it easy enough to spot potential marriages for them in FreeBMD.

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Looks like all three married in the W. Derby district.

You can then look for children of the marriages by using husband's surname, combined with mother's maiden name, also on FreeBMD.

You also have a name and middle initial to search for Info on Ada's probable son born 1911 as posted previously.

Richard, the board guidelines are one thread per family.

Down the left hand side of these pages is a link called "My Threads" - if you click on that you get back to any threads that you have started or posted on.

If you want further assistance on a family that you've previously asked about then you just go to the relevant thread and put a new post on the end of it and it moves to the front of the boards.

That way people don't waste their efforts finding what has already been found.

Well that was a wasted effort.

Thanks for pointing it out before I went any further MC!

The Ditchfields in 1891, who also just happen to have a daughter called Ada born c1885 in Preston...

Ada Read, my grandmother on my paternal side, married William Harold Glaister in Preston during June 1904 and subsequently had three children, Hilda, Sylvia and Marion. Ada died in Liverpool during 1945 after living for many years with my grandfather Richard Corlett. Therefore, does any one have further information on Ada Read, background etc., or any knowledge of what became of her children?
