Reinstating my thoughts that Maude Alice can't have married Albert Priestley in 1919 at the age of 13.

I originally deleted it as I thought I was having a 'senior moment' about who married Albert Priestley.

Perhaps Dee's posting at 14.55 will now make sense !

We do believe there is a BIGGER family secret-the first being my fathers adoption! Although it's no secret anymore!! Don't know his real mother tho! But believes to be William's Brothers child! Lolol I said the secret could have been interbreeding!! Or marriage within the direct family! I've no idea and all uncles & aunts won't tell me or tell me they don't remember! I'm just tryin to did my Grandfather! But they won't listen! If any of you want to look at my tree just ask :o)

Thanks again!!

I wonder if Harry on the 1911 census could be your Grandfather???

Maybe this birth??

I have been looking at Army records for Albert Richard Priestley -


British Army WWI Service Records, 1914-1920
Name: Albert Richard Priestley
Estimated birth year: abt 1884
Age at Enlistment: 30
Document Year: 1914
Number of Images: 3


There are several different records for the same person, but on this particular one, there are two addresses mentioned -


41 Ravensdon Street, Kennington, and a letter saying he had now moved to

296 Kennington Road, S. Kennington, London S8


(could be a coincidence re the Kennington connection, but I am thinking it could be him)

free 1911 census check;

HOUSEHOLD WESTLAKE IDA F 1902 9 Lambeth London
HOUSEHOLD WESTLAKE FRANCIS F 1908 3 Lambeth London
HOUSEHOLD WESTLAKE HARRY M 1904 7 Lambeth London
HOUSEHOLD WESTLAKE HENRY M 1879 32 Lambeth London
HOUSEHOLD WESTLAKE MARY ANN F 1861 50 Lambeth London
HOUSEHOLD WESTLAKE MAUD F 1884 27 Lambeth London
HOUSEHOLD WESTLAKE MAUD F 1906 5 Lambeth London
HOUSEHOLD WESTLAKE WILLIAM M 1910 1 Lambeth London


Just going to look for this in 1901.

Loo.......... you're really going to have to bear with me on this one;


The marriage I found to Priestley with Maude A R Wallis..... well I think this is her sister;

London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921
about Ida Beatrice Maud Wallis
Name: Ida Beatrice Maud Wallis
Age: 18
Estimated birth year: abt 1901
Spouse Name: Robert Henry Cole
Spouse Age: 23
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 8 Jun 1919
Parish: St Mark, Kennington
County: Middlesex
Borough: Lambeth
Father Name: Edward Wallis >> Occupation; FISHMONGER
Spouse Father Name: Robert Henry Cole

Witnesses; MAUDE ALICE ROSE WALLIS!!!!!

You also mention the area Kennington.




Now there is No birth for the above marriage of Ida B M Wallis, BUT there is this;

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
--------------------------------------------------------------
Births Dec 1902 (>99%)
-------------------------------
Westlake Ida Beatrice M Wandsworth 1d 641



So this would tie the 2 names Wallis and westlake together???

Got to do alot more digging but what do you think???

ok I gotcha lol sorry!

But Loo, if she was born in September she COULD be registered in the Quarter (3months) to 31st December -that is how the BMD is constructed -in Quarters not months and six weeks are allowed after birth in which to register

Oct - Dec quarter just mean that was when they registered her birth Loo.
It's very likely that they wouldn't register it until October.

My nans date of birth is 5th September 1905

James Baker married Emily Mary Markwick 1892 Dec Q Brighton 2b 505

No my nan was born in September
