AND many others..................

nudge to keep up with other thread

That's a good idea.

going to get the marridge cert that will give me her age wont it?

Emma
Have you got an actual record saying that your Phyllis was born in 1895?


That would be a big age gap.
Not impossible but just wondering.....

Edward wood need to be 21 to marry without parental permission.

ok ive done the math this harrison could have been my dads dad but phyllis would not have put him on birth certif as he was only 15 she married him 3 years later when he was 18 does this seem poss as i wouldnt think his parents would have given permission as he was so young and she was much older

Old electoral lists can be searched at main libraries or archives local to the address.

They are arranged with alphabetical listings of streets, so it should be straight forward to check Grove Road.

Some libraries will do this if you contact them, ...others won't.

the gran that looked after him lived in grove rd barton on sea new milton hampshire i presume it was ethel bishop is there any way to search this address?? for around 1945-1950?

have found a lady on hear with phyllis archibald and fred on her tree lets hope she gets back to me

I don't know if Tiptoe has it's own parish records but now that you think this might be her and you know she was alive in October 1942, you could search the parish registers for more information about her....early death? remarriage?

You could do this in Winchester ( when Record Office reopens) or maybe a main library nearer her parish would have copies.

It is possible that Phyllis married again if she was a young widow........

If you think the marriage to HARRISON is likely to be her, it would be useful to find out her age by buying a copy of the certificate.

Gwyn

oh my goodnes the harrison rings a bell my dad once said something about a boyfriend i was seeing completly didnt seem important to now he asked where thay came from thankyou so much i dont know the grans name tipto is very local to where he was born and grew up ohh thankyou

Emma
Do you know the name of your father's grandmother who looked after him?
We need to be sure that we have the correct person?
If we know her full name, hopefully we can check back to find her marriage and then children.

It might be worth you doing a search on here and Ancestry to see if there are any of Phyllis's sibling's families on here!!

So you are looking for any possible 1/2 siblings to your father after he was given up to his grandmother and his mother remarried?

I'll take a look for you

sorry was mucking horses out my dads full name was dennis philip bishop born 1933 his mother on birth certif was not married and no father mentioned i remember dad saying she got married and he was put into his grans care in barton on sea/new forest sorry reggie yes his mother wasnt married prior to birth

I suspect that you are looking for a marriage after your father was born........am I right?

Just checked.......he was registered as Bishop in JFM 1934.

It would have helped if you had mentioned this in your posting.........
