I was told that Susan J Priestman died of diphtheria.

Thanking all who are helping me in my search for Charles Priestman . So much info to go through and put in order . . Such wonderful helpful people . I applaud you all . RIta

One of the births Jacqueline found for the Priestman/Pettingale marriage was Susan J Priestman.

It appears her death was registered, unfortunately as a child, in Mansfield Q3 1947. Her declared date of birth at death was June 3rd 1941.

The first child she found to this marriage possibly married in Hull in 1991, a late marriage for this chap for sure but not impossible.

The Mansfield Hull connection emerges again I suspect.

Extremely likely, but we have no proof, although it's too coincidental, really, not to be relevant

Everything points to it being the right family...........

Edit,,,,,,I think should be P,the only survivling child.,,,these entires were typed up from handwriiten booking lists so possible mistakes were made

Definitely 'A'

That was a twin.............still no initial 'A'

The daughter died also.

The child accompanying Mrs E on the voyage was of the right age to be sole surviving child.

I'll have a close look at the image

Ancestry has a incomming record of Charles Priestman needs a sub to see full report.-

a 3rd child seemingly to the marriage surnames of Charles and Edith died as a child.

Pm from Rita


Hi, many thanks for your reply to my question about Charles Priestman .i think you have found the one I was searching for . His parents were Walter ( born 1878 ) he married Daisy Thorpe( born1883 in London ) children are Doris c1907 ,Walter 1908 born Clapam London . , Hilda 1909 , Charles 1910 , Stanley 1912 -1972 born in Hackney lLondon . George no dob all children born in London area , except I think George ( maybe Beverley East Yorks ) I think Charles was married but have no details on this . Father Walter was I believe from East Riding of Yorkshire . They moved to iBeverley .then moved to Hull . I remember visiting them . . Many thanks for your help . Much appreciated , Rita

I would agree with Travelman

It may be coincidence, but the births of the children I mentioned above were registered in Mansfield district

It looks to me as if the address given for the passenger list posted by Yvonne actually reads

The Malverns, Brooklands Ave, Mansfield.

There is a Brookland Ave in Mansfield NG18
