I have just found out that Elsie Tolley was born circa 1905 and registered in the Kidderminster, Worcestershire area which covers Stourport on Severn which is where i think she lived.

I do know that she married a Charles Henry Solloway in 1930 in the Stourport area.

Can anyone help me find out her parent's names, where they were living and are there any siblings?

Nala :-)

Ok Reggie I will say 1905 on the dot.

I have noticed that there are 2 Elsie Tolley's born either side of her year and in Wolverhampton which is not that far away from Kidderminster.

You're going to have to get the marriage cert...........if you wish to pursue this with any degree of accuracy

You were guessing about the birth, I think, based purely on location

Reggie Thanks for your expert advice.


Margee and Maddie , I thank you very much for your time also.

The marrige cert copy from the registers is very vague. No ages on it and just Tolley written for the Father.

Back to the drawing board I think. Thanks.
