Hi
I'm looking for any info on Mary Amer born 1911 and married a gentlamne with the surname Partington. She had 2 younger brothes, James and John and lived in the London area. She is my grandads sister and I know nothing about her. THanks

No marriage shiowing up for those names - was Partington her first husband?

Wow, didn't know he could have been her 2nd husband but we don't know much about my dads side of the family at all!

THe 2 younger siblings of Mary are James Claire and John R.

THanks for all your help!

Yes, this is the right James!

Can I ask for those that gave me the information for Mary's marriages, where did you get it from as I've been searching for ages! Obviously not using the right sites!

Thanks for all your help!

Kirsten
The marriages were found on Ancestry - the 1934 one might be on freebmd and the second one is too late for that site.

Donaghy is the mothers maiden name

Thanks Potty. I'm not on Ancestry site so may look into it!

I am not finding an Amer/Donaghy marriage apart from 1931.

Perhaps it was mums second marriage also. Do you know her first name?

Kirsteen

Kirsteen Report 2 Sep 2009 20:13

HI Christine

James Claire Amer as far as we know didn't marry Catherine Donaghy (we did quite a bit of research into them!)

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

I don't suppose anyone would have any info on a marriage for John R Amer?

THank you all for your help on this.

My dad has just remembered that Mary went to Kenya to live and we think she also died out there but have no idea of dates or if she was alone!

Is there anyway of finding this sort of information out as I have no idea where to start?

Thanks
