Welcome to the boards, Michelle.

Have you got the marriage certificate for Eleanor, and looked for her parents' marriage and the births of any children?

Thanks

Thanks but the Eleanor I am researching was born in March 1921, I did originally think it was this one :-(

Have you got her exact date of birth, as she can be searched for that way?

Do you know where Eleanor was born?

There are these marriages, so did they divorce or she die many years ago?

Haven't got exact dob just March 1921

patchem

patchem Report 9 Sep 2014 22:45

Then she could have been born at the end on 1920, until March 1921.

She could still be alive.

How are you related to her?

Thank-you

michelle

michelle Report 9 Sep 2014 22:48

She married in 1946 to Sydney Hodgkinson, she is my grandmother

patchem Report 9 Sep 2014 22:49

Do you know how many children she had, and when she moved away?

Did her husband marry again, and did she, as there is a possible later marriage?

michelle

michelle Report 9 Sep 2014 22:56

She had two children with the first marriage, and moved away approximately 1953, I am not sure if she married again but have seen the surname Williams linked to her on a marriage index, her first husband got married again

patchem Report 9 Sep 2014 22:58

There is this possible marriage:

Marriages Jun 1956
Hodgkinson Eleanor Hooson Salford
HOOSON Ernest HODGKINSON Salford

and possibly 2 Hooson/Long children born in the 1950's.

Thanks will have a look

If that marriage turns out to be correct, there were 2 Ernest Hooson's born in 1920s - one is on a number of trees on ancestry (death 1997 Barnsley). The other is on a tree showing he died 20/9/1985 in Coolbellup, Western Australia, giving dob 18/6/1920 - but little else.

Maybe someone with Australia experience could check if more details on the death?

Ernest Hooson
Gender:Male
Electoral Year:1972
State:Western Australia
District:Fremantle
Subdistrict:Coolbellup

He's a machinist, living with Eleanor at 16 Juliet Road. Still at same address in 1980. However, in 1977 both the children mentioned by Pat were also at same address

Good.

Could not see any signs of them in this country, so was waiting for feedback as to any further knowledge of her.

I think the marriage certificate is needed, as it looks likely to be her.

If Michelle has the right birth, Eleanor's parents appear to have married in 1920, Georgina Currie & George F(rancis) Long, their marriage certificate is on ancestry if you want a copy.

When George Francis Long died in 1958 probate was granted to his widow Georgina, his address was 185 Urmston Lane.
