Looking for info on a Mavis Wordingham previously Webster lived in York. Would have thought she was born in the early 1900s resided in Heworth in 1945

Thank you in anticipation
Pam

Pam, welcome to the boards.

Nobody of this name shows up, so I am wondering if this is her married name?

Found her death I think

Name: Mavis Wordingham
Birth Date: 2 May 1920
Date of Registration: Jun 2002
Age at Death: 82
Registration district: York
Inferred County: Yorkshire
Register Number: D13B
District and Subdistrict: 6611D

Can I ask what else you know about her? Re. name this is all I have found and completely wrong age!!

Name: Mavis Wardingham
Mother's Maiden Surname: Williams
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1932
Registration district: Middlesbrough
Inferred County: Yorkshire North Riding
Volume Number: 9d
Page Number: 803

Might she have been Scottish, or from somewhere else entirely?

If you aren't aware of her death or who might have registered it I recommend getting the death cert.

Possibly a second marriage for Mavis, given the date ?

Well, it is giving us something to do Prickles :-D :-D :-D

I wonder where Pam is?

Dea Xxx

Hi Dea ~~~~~~~~~~~~ :-)

Hi Prickles :-) :-) :-)

I wonder where Pam wants to go next with this one?

She really needs Lena's marriage cert to find out who her parents were as I can't seem to tie her down on census - can you?

We really need to know which line she is actually wanting to follow.

Dea x

Ahaa !!!

She appears to be following the Singleton line (judging by her surname) so she obviously knew Mavis's birth name already!

I think I will wait and see what she wants help with when she comes back.

Many thanks all of you for such prompt replies. The link has been found by my cousin, she has more experience of this than I. She is the daughter of Harold and Lena Singleton. Harold being my Grandfathers brother. Thanks again all
:-)

This looks like Sammie's birth reg...
