Hello
I am looking for a family on the 1939 register and wonder if anyone could please help.

Alice Ann Horrocks born 1881 in Wigan Lancashire
married
John Carney 1911 in Wigan Lancashire

Alice died in 1952 and not sure when John Died.

They had 3 children all born in Wigan Lancashire
James C Carney 1913
John G Carney 1917
Mary Carney 1920

I have Alice's parents and siblings on the 1911, 1901, 1891 census

But cant find any trace on the 1939

Any help would be very much appreciated

Harriet married William Wrigley, not John Wilkinson:

Marriage Date: 15 Feb 1896
Marriage Place: Hindley, St Peters, Lancashire, England

And she's not a daughter of Thomas and Ellen, in any case.
She's with parents Thomas and Jane in 1891, in Hindley, Lancs.


Edith was the daughter of an unmarried woman named Wilkinson, per the birth reg.
