Hi All,I have been looking now the last couple of days for a marriage and a death,but really struggling to find any info,Hopefully someone can help.
Name Stanley G Duckling born 1919 in Kensington,London,was I think married to a Sheila.?.between 1950 and 1964 they were living together at a couple of addresses in Kensington,ie 15 wheatstone road W10.and 20 Winterbourne house,on Portland square.between the years of 1945 and 1948 they were not living together but Sheila was at the address 15 Wheatstone road,also I can not find a death for either.I dont evan know if they had children,hope someone can help.thanks.

the site we all use for bmds is www.freebmd.org.uk


and there is no marriage for a Duckling to a Sheila between 1935 and 1965


and no marriage for a Stanley G Duckling to anyone between 1935 and 1970



you might have to consider that they did not in fact get married :-)

I did look on there Sylvia,ok thanks.

there's also nothing showing up on ancestry

On a couple of the ERs he is recorded with an "S" - indicating he was serving in the armed forces. They could have married overseas. He also appears to be in some sort of barracks (just men recorded) 1945/6.

Two Kensington district births - 1947 and 1958 - females - mother's maiden name given is 'McElhinney' and 'McElhiney'

Thank you guys,this one certainly is becoming a mystery,if anyone else could throw some light on Stanley and Shelia,it would be much appreciated,thanks in advance.

He married in Scotland 1941.

Paisley Renfrewshire.

Surname---McELHINNEY Sheila.,,,,Duckling Stanley George.

Certificate only by order,
ref,,573/01-0850.


Neither of them died in Scotland.

Well found Kay :-D

Thank you Kay,there are some days when someone really shines.....today Kay you are that person.

He could still be alive.............

I was thinking that Gwen,now would,nt that be a turn up.

Many have McElhinney born Scotland in trees,,,,,,Renfrew/shire and Glasgow,,,,,,perhaps there could be a link to S,McElhinney.?

They arent showing on Australian Archives immigrations,but that could mean they are still not made public.

If they emigrated,then,,,,,US,Canada.SAfrica,was the places in the 1960s,

Passenger lists leaving uk are for sea travel and dont list those flying,

Thanks Kay They had two daughters,following on from your ealier post there was Audrey 1947 and Gillian 1958,with the McElhinney maiden name,but I have been looking for a marriage for both of them and nothing found,so possible the whole family went abroard,I will still keep looking on bits though.thanks again.

IF they went to Australia, whether by sea or air, they should be listed on the following site ............................... I have found names of immigrants through the 1960s, which was the prime time for emigrating under the £10 scheme

It can be a bit confusing to work your way through ........ but try Name Search first.


Passenger Arrivals Index is a bit more specific ................... "Search for passengers arriving by ship in Fremantle and other Western Australian ports between 1921 and 1950; or arriving at Perth airport between 1944 and 1950. "

Thanks Sylvian,

Checking the aussie phone book (whitepages), there are only 3 Ducklings listed in the whole of Aus!

Might be worth contacting them?
