Hi Flick. Yes thats the child. but I am wanting the death records of his mother.
Maureen

Hi Andrew. Not sure about this one I thought she died when her son was a child. no one in my family seems to know any thing about her, but I remember being told as a child he was brought up by an aunt because his mother had died but no idea of the age.
Maureen

Is this her birth please?

Did William Ernest remarry please? It is a possibility that Doris just left the family home and her son was told that she had died.

There is this death that fits with the birth above.

Hi Rootgatherer.

Its hard to know, as the info I have, I have got from sons birth record and her marrage record. her address on her marrage cirtificate is Studley Court The Heath. then it looks like Gldswinford .
Maureen

Have you found William Ernest's death please?

Hi Rootgatherer.
Yes he did remarry. and the son could have been told this,
Maureen

Hi Rootgatherer

Yes have found William Ernest death. waiting for the certificate to come.
Maureen

Do you know when William re-married please? (Just trying to narrow the possible year of death for Doris).

Hi again.
Well this is a hard one, The Son Ronald Howard he married in march 1947 at the age of 25 and his step mum/ the second wife of William Earnest was in the wedding photos so william had remarried by then. but thats such a big gap.
Maureen

Have you found William's second marriage please?

Hi Rootgatherer.

No there is no way of finding any infomation. I just know her name was Ivy I known nothing more about her.
They lived in Mill Hill London and moved to Northfolk in the late seventys.
Maureen

Have you tried coming forward from siblings of Doris. You never know they may have heard of her?

There are 3 children from that marriage so may be worth trying to track them down?

Hi Rootgatherer.

Wow. On Doris wedding records her dad name was Levi Henson, which you are showing.

Her siblings look older that her.

I must study all this infomation in more detail now.
Thank you so much.

What is the meaning of all the names under the last bit marriages I can see her dads name or have I got my silly head on.
Maureen

That is the references for Charlotte and Levi's marriage. The other two names are another couple whose marriage is on the same page and almost certainly not related to Charlotte and Levi. Charlotte maiden surname Stewart (unless, of course she had been married previously) is Doris's mother.

I have also posted the birth for another sibling (Leslie) born after the 1911 census.

Nudging to put beside new thread.
