The marriage above is for Thomas Boswell and Ada Turner!!!!!

Who are you researching?

What are the birth years?

Looks like she got it the wrong way round . So, presumably Malyon is looking for Ada Boswell ( previously Turner) wife of Thomas Boswell.

So the marriage is totally irrelevant

There is NO birth on freebmd in 1930 for Doreen Boswell (You can easily verify that yourself)

What facts do you have about Ada (or Doreen) which will be of use to helpers?

Is Doreen her birth name or her adopted name?

If the deaths given above are correct then Ada would have been a bit too old to be Doreen’s mother. But it is just about possible.

doreen was adopted in 1939 aged 9years so i would think doreen is her birth name

So was Ada 49/ 50 when Doreen was born?

I can’t find a suitable birth either. No Boswell with a mothers maiden name of Turner.

Where do you think Ada and Thomas were living at the time?

The deaths were only a suggestion, and as we still don't know the couple's dates of birth, they may be absolutely irrelevant!

Do you mean that Doreen's father was not Thomas Boswell?
Or had Thomas and Ada split up?
Or are the deaths correct ? - in which case Doreen would have been an orphan and subsequently adopted.

However, as already said, there's no birth of a Doreen Boswell - or any other Boswell/Turner child of any name, 1924-39.

IF Thomas wasn't her father, and IF she was registered as Turner, there are these possibilities in Lancashire, 1929-31:

Births Jun 1929 (>99%)
Turner Doreen Turner Bolton 8c 444
Turner Doreen Turner Rochdale 8e 87

Births Mar 1930 (>99%)
Turner Doreen Turner Barton I. 8c 715

Nothing obvious in June 1930.

Was Turner actually Ada's maiden name, or had she been married before?

What were the Shaws' first names, and where did they live?

Adoption is a very private matter - how do you come to know about this one?
