A long shot this one but can anyone please help?
Trying to find children of Charles Edward & Elsie May Wilkinson (nee Frazer)
Charles & Elsie were married 10th Sept 1921 at Parish Church Thornhill Lees, Dewsbury, ENGLAND. It is possible that they didn't have children but they seem to have disapeared after their marriage as I can't find death records for either of them.

Any info would be very helpful & much apreciated.
Thanks

Karen

No obvious Wilkinson/Fraz(s)er children showing 1921~1941.

Have you considered that they may have emigrated? What were their birth dates?

As Jonesey says -- their birthdates -- exact?

For deaths after 1969, the exact date of birth (if known to the person who registered the death) is included in the deaths index.

If Elsie had remarried, it might be possible to identify her death using her given names and date of birth, for instance.

Charles Edward's birth was registered in the June Qtr 1888:

Births Jun 1888 (>99%)
WILKINSON Charles Edward Wortley 9c 262

This may not be Elsie but it looks very close on the birthdate:

Name: Elsie May Wilkinson
Birth Date: 15 Jun 1896
Death Registration Month/Year: Mar 1985
Age at death (estimated): 88
Registration district: Basford
Inferred County: Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire
Volume: 8
Page: 121

Nothing obvious coming up for Charles Edward I'm afraid. Lots of possibilities of appropriate aged Charles Wilkinson's but the places of death do not tie in very well so not possible to say whether one might be your man.

Thanks Jonesey will send for the death certificate see if that gives me any other names i.e. who registered the death or husbands name...a long shot but may just help.

Thanks again

This looks like a very possible death:

Name: Charles E Wilkinson
Death Registration Month/Year: 1927
Age at death (estimated): 39
Registration district: Penistone
Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume: 9c
Page: 244

It was registered in Q3, i.e. after his birthday, and the age equates to dob 1888 -- and you gave Penistone as your Charles's place of birth.

A marriage in the same district:

Name: Elsie M Wilkinson
Spouse: Herbert Haigh
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1942
Registration district: Penistone
Registration county (inferred): Yorkshire West Riding
Volume Number: 9c
Page Number: 683

A death that could match:

Name: Elsie M Haigh
Death Registration Month/Year: 1967
Age at death (estimated): 70
Registration district: Barnsley
Inferred County: Yorkshire West Riding
Volume: 2b
Page: 18

- registered Q2 i.e. before your Elsie's birthday, so she would have been 70.

There are no Haigh-Frazer births, but there are Haigh-Wilkinson births 1943 onward in Yorkshire -- but several Haigh-Wilkinson marriages that could account for them.

I recieved marriage certificate this morning for Elsie MAy Wilkinson & Herbert Haigh....looks like Janey was correct there was a second marriage in Dec 1942. Elsie May's father matches with my records. Don't think they had any children though as Herbert was 62 at time of marriage & this was his first marriage, but a BIG THANKS to Janey for your help and thanks to Jonesey for your help.

Thanks again
much appreciated
