OK, Linda..................

The male Redmaynes whose births were posted for you were your mother's half-brothers, so any descendants they may have are your half-cousins.

I've looked on Ancestry's transcribed records, and can't see deaths for the half-brothers between 1984 and 2005, which means that , either they died before 1984, or they are still alive.

PM received.......copied below

From Linda helo thanks for caring my mother margaret redmayne 1935 her b.cert states father j.cardwell melling of elswick st DARWEN mr redmayne died 6 years b4 she was born !!1 her mother was mabel maud redmayne widow she also had another daughter elizebeth born approx 1936 she died age 6 i have no family to ask as i know off which is why im trying to find out who i am . xx

Now all we need is some feeback from the OP................

Perhaps that death explains why only the mother was mentioned in the request.................

This is interesting - a death registration for Harold G Redmayne - before Margaret and Betty were born!!!

*****And don't worry Confused - this stuff can be very confusing!!!

So, the Redmayne side is looking something like this at the moment

Confused Dillon born 1955

daughter of

Margaret Redmayne born 1935 and Kenneth Dillon

daughter of

Harold Redmayne born 1899 and Mabel Forbes

Snap!! Can't see him on the 1901 at the moment though.

Births Sep 1899 (>99%)

Redmayne Harold Grime Blackburn 8e 468

So, is this a possible birth registration for Harold Redmayne?

Name: Harold Grime Redmayne
Year of Registration: 1899
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Blackburn
County: Lancashire
Volume: 8e
Page: 468

I'm with you about the Mellings...........it will be interesting to find out where they are connected!

Aah, thanks Ricochet - I'll delete my posts regarding births as this will confuse things even further!!!!!

Thanks.

Too many Annie Parker's to decide which is the correct birth so you really need to purchase their marriage cert to find out her age and her father's name and occupation.

Ninja

The confusion is caused by the OP's use of the married surnames for the women in her family................she hasn't caught on to the need to give their maiden surnames..............

Name: Margaret Redmayne
Mother's Maiden Surname: Forbes
Date of Registration: Apr May Jun 1935
Registration district: Blackburn
Registration county: Lancashire
Volume Number: 8e
Page Number: 420

So Confused's mother was Margaret Redmayne?
