Can anyone help with finding the birthplace of Edna May Leduc b 1907 d Nov 1991 at Enfield. Married Douglas Crisell in 1937 Edmunton. Was part of the Tuck family in Enfield but not a blood relation.

the marriage cert may give you more info i.e fathers name

death index gives this dob

Looking at others with the same surname, it is likely that she, or her family originated in Jersey?

not sure but I think if known then place of birth may be on the death cert?

Have you looked at the electoral roles on Ancestry,she may be with family.
London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965

NAME:
Edna May Leduc
RESIDENCE:
1929 - city
She appears five/ six times.

Frederick Charles Tuck married Violet lillian Terry in 1917
This is who Edna is with on the electoral records.

A tree on Ancestry has her born in Jersey.

You are correct, the Tuck children grew up with Edna but she was a mystery and still is. The tree on Ancestry is a good chance of being mine. And Jersey is a guess, as the
surname sounds french.

Just had a thought - there is a very helpful person on here who does look ups in Jersey - she may be able to find a Parish record ???

Her board name is Jersey Lily.

Grand-daughter is about to arrive but if no-one else has found her by then, I will see if I can locate her this evening.

Thanks - Jersey looks a good bet

Sorry Danetree - can't find her at the moment but have sent out an SOS.

Will come back when I locate her!

Hello, was Leduc her maiden name or had she been previously married?

Marie
Recorded on the 1917 electoral role as Leduc
Born 11/01/1907. Married name Chrisell only married the once in Edmonton/ Enfield 1937
Douglas Crisell. My reason for this search is that my relation grew up with Edna in the house, and only wondered about the connection later in life. That relation is now 93yrs and would love to find an answer.

If she was born in 1907 she would not be recorded on a 1917 electoral roll as she would be nowhere near old enough to vote! That must be the 1937?

Was Edna May already in the household when your relative was born?

Did she and Douglas have children? (If so I guess you've already checked her maiden name on their birth records).

If you have her marriage certificate it could state who her father was and what his living was,,,

Was he in the army?

Jersey doesnt have BDM online but the local history may be of help.

The surname features often on passenger lists to and from Canada too....so that could be another possiblity.

Do you know who registered her death and know whether or not her birthplace is shown?

If it is an overseas birth though, only country is likely to be indicated rather than actual birthplace.

Perhaps Edna was some sort of servant?

But the certs are the way to go.......to try to get some facts.

She does not appear on the 1911 census for Jersey

Thanks to everyone for your efforts, already checked probate - nothing there. As you all say - go the certs way.
I'll send for them and see what transpires
