Perhaps you could put something in your title asking for Canadian help

Yes I now think that elvina is Yvonne too, I just don't know why she never appears anywhere before 1943, I have extensively searched electoral registers etc and she is no where under any variation of name or spelling not even the farm where she was born, she just never appears and it strange I would like to know how she ended up where she did but I suppose it will be an unanswered question many thanks for all your help Brenda even after 3 years!!! :-)

Hi Annie

What exactly are you looking for ?

I fully believe that the Gloucestershire family with father Arthur John Gore and mother Maria/Margaret Gore nee Knight and with daughter Elvina E M Gore aka Yvonne Gore/Greenhalgh are the correct family. Too many bits of info that appear to fit. not to be discounted.

This is probably Elvina/Yvonne

London, England, Electoral Registers, 1832-1965 about Yvonne E M Gore
Name: Yvonne E M Gore
Year: 1948
County or Borough: Westminster
Ward or Division/Constituency: Paddington
Street Address: 11 Flat (12 Clarendon Mews, Hyde Park, Paddington

and just found a record on ancestry that shows a penelope greenhalgh (possible adoptee) boarding a boat with an emily G Greenhalgh in 1948 to canada... where would i search this further? as it may have been a mess up on the cert and she just may be overseas?

Ann-Marie Report 20 Jan 2013 22:53

Oh and just to add on my list of exciting things today- I think i have found a match on ancestry and she is listed as Yvonne Gore- (thats if the info matches up about the brothers and sisters...) but they appear to be descendants of Letitia "queenie" Gore so possibly they can shed some light onto this situation?!?! fingers crossed for a response!

Right just checked out electorol registers:

1948- yvonne e m gore 12 clarendon mews matches pats bert cert
1949: 104 iverness terrace again sandy Greenhalgh and Yvonne Greenhalgh
1950: 104 iverness terrace with sandy e Greenhalgh and Yvonne
1951: 104 iverness house sandy and yvonne greenhalgh
1952:
1953: Edward & Yvonne 12 Kerbela Street (which matches michaels bert cert)
1954: Edward & Yvonna 12 kerbela St
1955:
1956: Stanley E Greenhalgh Yvonne Greenhalgh 18 Columbia square E2
1957:
1958: Stanley E & Yvonne 18 columbia square E2
1959: 171 Columbia square Stanley and Yvonne
1960:
1961: Yvonne M Stanley E 8 connet house matches certs
1962: Yvonne M Stanley E 8 connet house
1963: Yvonne M Greenhalgh Alone 8 Connet House
1964: Yvonne M Greenhalgh Alone 8 Connet House
1965: Yvonne M Greenhalgh Alone 8 Connet House

could find nothing for stanley for 63-65 anywhere... but he did die at the house as 8 connet house is listed as his addy on death cert and the 1948 entry...

yvonne e m gore

Elvina Evon May Gore... diff spelling BUT is fitting with the theory that family uses middle names first...

12 kerbella street e2 is the address where they were in 1953 x strange about the 1963 one though? As both kids would have been young still??? And Stanley had not died then, and on the death cert his address was 8 connett house.... :-/

They also appear at the time of Michaels birth in a pub as I went and saw the record myself in Bancroft road and Patricia had assumed the surname Greenhalgh at that time x

Hello Brenda!!! Oh my goodness I never thought anyone would still be around!!! I am still no where nearer to working it out!! That is them as the address is where they was listed as when married and when they died, how do you do searches on register? As I would like to look for the address listed on pats berth cert and year before and year after might shed some light as to how she just sprung up!!

Hope you are well xxx

LOL- I know I am a flake at times-

Brenda- That is the GRO reference that i used- his name was John George and I typed that in, but seen as every time he appears on a census he referrs to him self as George, I feel it only fitting that I referr to him Also as george.

So the GRO ref you have noted, was not available when requested..... Strange eh?

Thanks

maybe the reason they couldn't find the marriage for George and Maria is because it's not them......its John and Maria:-
