Thank you I will tell him you have all been helpful.

I wonder if the following article in the Sunderland Daily Echo, 1 Sep 1934 has any relevance?

Horden Bridegroom

Miss Catherine Scott, third daughter of Mr John Scott and the late Mrs Scott, of 5 Victoria Street, Hartlepool, was married at The Lady Star of the Sea, Horden Colliery to Mr Laurence Yore, the son of Mr Peter Yore and the late Mrs Yore, of Fourth Street, Horden.
The Rev Father Watson officiated, and the bride was given away by her brother-in-law, Mr Herbert B Mallinson, of Hartlepool. The bridesmaids were Miss Mary Dobson, of West Hartlepool and Miss Grace Mallinson (niece of the bride), MRS MARY AITKENHEAD (sister of the bride) was maid-of-houour. Mr John Yore (nephew of the groom) acted as best man.

Interesting, LondonBelle!

Marriages Sep 1934 (>99%)
Scott Catherine Yore Easington 10a 1153
Yore Lawrence Scott Easington 10a 1153


Ancestry's strange transcription:

Lawrence Yorath
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name: Lawrence Yorath
Registration Date: Jul 1934[Aug 1934] [Sep 1934]
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration District: Easington
Inferred County: Durham
Spouse: Scanes
Volume Number: 10a
Page Number: 1153


They've mixed up three lines on the Index - there's an Idiris Yorath, followed by a Catherine Yore who married a Scanes in Willesden, and then Lawrence Yore marrying Scott in Easington.


However, if searching for Catherine's marriage, they've transcribed that correctly:

Catherine Scott
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name: Catherine Scott
Registration Date: Jul 1934[Aug 1934] [Sep 1934]
Registration Quarter: Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration District: Easington
Inferred County: Durham
Spouse: Yore
Volume Number: 10a
Page Number: 1153


Can't see them in 1939, though.

Thank you I will check this article out. Many thanks.

Unfortunately, John Scott isn't at 5 Victoria Street in 1939.

Joseph T Watson and a closed record are at that address.

SCOTT, MARY mmn HALL

In 1921 Mary is in Hartlepool with John, Grace Ann, and 6 others.

Catherine Yore 1907 died in West Hartlepool in 1957.

Thank you I will check this article out. Many thanks.

Regarding the suggested 1946 marriage - that woman should be on 1939 as Price(Aitkenhead), but if she is, I can’t find any trace

This Scott fam have been a mystery to find. All of you on here have been so kind in looking for her. A big thank you much appreciated to all concerned.

Grace Mallinson, the niece who was a bridesmaid, was a daughter of Cecilia Scott, sister of Catherine and Mary - so that's the right Scott family above..

Mary's DOB is given as 7 July 1901 - 10 years before the 1911 birth posted earlier, but month would fit. I suspect the year is a mistake.

She's a canteen counter assistant.
No children or closed records with her.



The Turners are George Turner and Margaret Williams, married 1933 Easington. Hazel born Durham 1938.
George & Margaret had 4 children before 1939, one of whom died in infancy (George 1936), so that accounts for the closed records.

The only Mary Scott born 1901 in the right area is this illegitimate one:

SCOTT, MARY -
GRO Reference: 1901 J Quarter in HARTLEPOOL Volume 10A Page 182

A tree on Ancestry says her mother was a Bridget Scott, daughter of Patrick Scott and Bridget Weir.

FMP version of 1939 - they have totally ignored the woman's name at the time - sheer laziness on the part of the transcriber. I will submit the necessary correction

John Scott and Grace Ann Hall didn't marry until late 1902, so the daughters Cecilia and Margaret were illegitimate:

HALL, CECILIA -
GRO Reference: 1898 M Quarter in HARTLEPOOL Volume 10A Page 174

HALL, MARGARET -
GRO Reference: 1899 D Quarter in HARTLEPOOL Volume 10A Page 155


There's no illegitimate birth of a Mary Hall - so the 1901 date given in 1939 is wrong, and should be 1911.

Thank you I will pass this information on to my brotherinlaw.

Mary was a twin - as also indicated in 1921 census.

Births Sep 1911 (>99%)

More siblings?? All died soon after birth.

SCOTT Winifred Hall Hartlepool 10a 320 [ Died 1915 Hartlepool ]

Mary was 8years 11months on 1921 census - fits with July birth date
Date of census was 19th June

George jnr and his wife had five children - see freebmd for details.

All births registered in W Hartlepool................but the family had moved by the time the children were marrying

The youngest married a man with a distinctive surname, and can easily be found on the ER to 2018
