Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1956

Find Spouse: Name: Pearl A Cowling

This looks like her birth with mmn Graves

You can search on FreeBMD for siblings using the surname combination. And also a marriage for a Cowling to Graves.

You may need to buy certs for verification

Same with Edwin!

You will need to buy their cert for their ages and fathers names so their births and census info can be found

thats what i just found this is not proving easy.
i found elsie redferns birth it doesnt tell me what her mothers maiden name was and i have know idea how to find it and i dont know how to find william redferns mother and father either

Mmn isn't in the GRO ref before 1911 you would need to buy the birth cert for her parents names

Have you looked for her on the 1901 census?

i have tryed the 1901 census it just saying no result

Births Sep 1896
Shadlock Elsie Caistor 7a

I have looked too. Not getting her on 1901&1911 censuses.

Think you you will have to buy her birth cert for her parents names

ok thank you very much for helping me
:-D

I would get their marriage cert for both dads names (if known) and their ages at marriage

Maybe William but you need to verify this against the marriage cert . Plus too witnesses on the cert could be family .

If that is the right family then this is their marriage

Hi Tia

You really do need Edwin's Birth Cert. to see the names of his Mum and Dad --

The Elsie Shadlock born 1896-- I think died and was registered in March Quarter 1898

Births Sep 1896 (>99%)
Shadlock Elsie Caistor 7a 662

Deaths Mar 1898 (>99%)
Shadlock Elsie 1 Caistor 7a 461


If so not this Elsie who married Edwin's father.


Best Wishes
