Not seeing any children born to them. She was very young so you have to wonder if the marriage lasted.

Where does the name Bryant come from?
Thanks

Added:
Have you got the actual marriage certificate?

There are Chapman/Bryant births in South Shields after 1954, if that is relevant??
They can be found on Freebmd.
The only Chapman/Bryant marriage in the area is the one you have, as far as I can tell, so possibly their children?

Surely any children born to Moya should have the MMN Hansen

Do you know when Annie or Charles Hansen or John Bryant died?

From the marriage certificates that you have got, what are the names of the Fathers?

I think you also need to get the certificates for the weddings Reggie has found.

Was your Mother the informant on your Father's death certificate?

Will PM rosepetals to tell her how to get back to her posts

I would think she was "known" under 2 different names, she may have lived with someone but not been married? So she was born Hanson, but may have assumed the name Bryant - hence the marriage index. It often happens, and is a common occurrence.

There is a possible marriage for Moya Chapman (no middle initial) in Burnley in 1978.
(I can see 3 births for Moya Chapman, all with a middle initial, so partially ruled these out)
The marriage does not give alternate surnames for her, however.
Will pm it.
She then can be found in 192.com - but it could be a different Moya, not your Mother.

Sorry, just realised, why this was 'familiar'

I hope this is the wrong Moya.

The obituary claims she was born as Chapman, but unfortunately no ages given.

Were you all fostered? Were there any adoptions because the adoption papers might reveal more about your mother.

Perhaps Moya was brought up by her eldest sister and assumed the surname Bryant?

You have put that Charles died in 1939.
This is the only death that I can see, do you know if it is the correct one?

(Or could he have been registered as Hanson?)

No death for 'Annie Hansen' in 1974.
Do you know where?

none of us where adopted ,,,,myself and my 2 youngest were put in a childrens home , i was about 4 , where as the eldest he was 6 and he went to live with father and his grandmother chapman , was told father didnt have to pack in work cos child was at school ,, i believe mother had another child late 1960 but it died early 1961,this is maybe when parents split up ,, i was fostered out at nealy 5 and the 2 boys together just after that ,they were there about 10 years ? i was with mine for 18 years so they finished their teen years in the childrens home ,
