HI , On the 1939 census Allan Siddall is with Nellie thanks

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 20 Oct 2019 12:47

Yes, but is his wife definitely your Nellie (the Siddalls' adopted daughter)?

Janette

Janette Report 20 Oct 2019 12:51

See what you mean so Nellie might not be the same Nellie the Siddalls adopted daughter

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 20 Oct 2019 13:01

That's right.

We can't find any marriage for Nellie Siddall and Allan Siddall.

I think his wife is Nellie Wortley, who was born in the 4th quarter of 1909, which would match with the DOB of 11/11/1909 given in 1939.

Ellen/Nellie and Eric Arthur are still in Keighley in 1933:

Ellen Silson

But I don't see them in 1939, so they'd maybe emigrated by then.

Thank you all of you for the info . Was just wondering now how and if Allan Siddall is related to John T Siddall

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 20 Oct 2019 13:36

Eric must have returned to the UK after Ellen/Nelllie's death:

Eric Arthur Silson
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Eric Arthur Silson
Death Age: 85
Birth Date: 26 Jul 1904

Registration district: Bournemouth
Inferred County: Dorset

Then perhaps he's just commemorated on the gravestone in Canada.

lancashireAnn Report 20 Oct 2019 13:57

The Nellie who was adopted was age 3 in 1911 but your Nellie who is with Alan Sidall in 1939 was born November 1909 so would only have been 18 months old which is quite a difference
