Thank you so much for finding the cousin's birth and for the other information
Yes I will certainly ask Janet her Father's name and birthplace.

There is confusion you are right

Thank you

Lesley

Many thanks to you

I sent you a message Jacqueline.
Also I asked the cousin if she knew which one of the Leonard Almond birth's could be right, and when I gave her both Mother's maiden names of these records she said neither Ward or Sailsbury was his Mother

The cousin can't remember when or where Ethel's parents were born,

Jacqueline

Janet's father's name is the link we need.

I've tried to reply to your PM's, but it's up the creek again.

Of course, the marriage cert will be the most helpful thing.

When you are able to get it, come back with the details from it, and we'll try to go from there.

As Janet was not connected with the Almonds, I wonder whether she would actually know anything about Leonard's mother's maiden name. She's a bit 'distant' to be expected to be aware of that sort of detail........

Yes it certainly is.
Yes, sometimes pm works and sometimes it doesn't.

I am going to order marriage certificate it today, although it can take over a week to arrive can't it.

Yes that's a point. She seemed very sure the maiden name wasn't what we had. I could do with talking to her again. Yes she is quite distant and she said it was a very long time ago. This is where I am very careful when I talk to her about the past.

I will keep searching too

Jacqueline you really are very kind to help with all of this Research. Thank you so much for everything you are doing, hope I am not taking up your time

I am searching ancestry for the surname only of charnock and morritt marriages, around late 1920's

Jacqueline

Jacqueline Report 22 Jan 2015 13:50

There wasn't one between those surnames - and even if there had been, it would have been much later than the 1920's

I checked freebmd yesterday

I'll bookmark this and look out for when you post info from the marriage cert

Lesley

Lesley Report 23 Jan 2015 14:24

No there isn't a marriage for these surnames at all. I think they married in Scotland, as I checked on the surname of Morritt, and it is Scottish

Thank you very much Jacqueline
