Unknown/Elizabeth,
Could you give the full details on the marriage certificate?
Thank-you

Added:
Unknown/Elizabeth
Do you have his birth year as 1911 in your tree?
Thanks

Having reread this thread the immediate advice was for Denise to buy some certificates, which she appeared unwilling to do.
Are Elizabeth and Denise in contact?

Also,
Welcome to the boards, unknown (Elizabeth)

The 1911 Census in Ireland isn't him. Herbert John's dad was called Herbert George. It's on Herbert and Janet's marriage certificate.

Possibly if you contact Brighton Library/Archive, they may have trade directories including lists of hotels - there is frequently a 'reverse' index for adult (over 21) surnames.

http://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/content/leisure-and-libraries/local-history/archives gives further links

if you can't go there yourself, there will probably be a charge.

If she had remarried she would not have died as Kelly as for other children that would be difficult not knowing where they were born or whether they had the fathers name or her married name or even just in her maiden name.

Not sure how you would find out which Hotel they lived in....I used to live in Brighton and would imagine there were quite a few hotels then, as there are now

Yes I do believe that is the correct Janet Hanson, is there any more info on her with regards other marriages or chilldren. ?
You are a great help indeed, I really appreciate this.

Do you know how I can find out about the hotel in Brighton where Herbert parents lived in 1936, to fin out what it was called and the location ?

No one can tell that without seeing the marriage cert, but the birth in 1913 matches the death in 1982 so looks likely

is this her death?

Was Molly Carter (nee Strudwick) definately the lady who married the same Herbert John Kelly as Janet Hanson ?
And any idea if Janet had any other children before or after she had Patricia and Sheila, or was there any other marriages for Janet ?
Janet died in Hartlepool I know that.

There are no Herbert J Kelly's born to match that birth in England or Wales

So he was likely to be born elsewhere...poss Ireland??

Rose gave the marriages for Molly

denise1971 Report 6 Aug 2013 02:56

Rose - who had children from there first marriage ? Janet or Molly
Was Janet married before she married Herbert ?
And what about Molly had she been married before ?

denise1971 Report 6 Aug 2013 02:52

If Herbert was born in Brighton is there a census to show his parents names or address ?

I will always wonder if he had any other children after he was divorced from Janet after approximately 1941 ? onwards -
Maybe his new family never ever knew about Sheila and Patricia - which is such a shame, and Sheila and Patricia don't have a lot of information to go on either.
It would be nice to have known about any other siblings or someone who knew them to have some more information for us.
As we dont know Herberts parents names it makes it even harder

A marriage cert would give his age and fathers name and if that is them a death cert poss Molly's maybe registered by a relative

I would love to find his family or a photograph of Herbert and as much information as possible....... for his 2 daughters that he lost touch with when they were only very young (Patricia born 1936 and Sheila born 1937) .....these are the children that were from his marriage to Janet.

If she was born 1913 she would have been 43 when they married...carter may have been a previous married name

Irish ? I don't know if he was irish, but I think he was an only child. His parents had an hotel in brighton about 1936.

I have no idea what Herberts parents where called either
