Find Ancestors

Hey all im at a real confussion with this one and im trying to get it to fit but finding it difficult James Pickett passed away 1954 the informant was his son J.Pickett (london areas wandsworth, southwark etc)..... I have information that James snr had 2 partners not sure on if a marriage Grace Williams b.1891 d.1968 and Annie Hanwell b1903. I have 2 children to James snr which is the confusing part... 1st born James (jack) pickett b1928 in kilburn and William James Hanwell b1929 in paddington. Im trying to establish wether James Sener married any other these women and im presuming Annie Hanwell is Williams mother due to surname but who is James (jack) mother?? these sons were only born 1 year appart and are now both deceased. The aim after this is to find out if the sons married but am confused with this one if anyone can help

thank you all x

When and where was James (senior) born?

OK......is this the death?

Name: James Pickett
Death Registration Month/Year: 1954
Age at death (estimated): 53

Jack is not a diminutive for James........are you sure the son wasn't called John?

Are you seeing these births Flick?
Jan

Have you done anything about looking on freebmd for marriage(s)?

Noooooooooooooo!

Both the births records of his children should give their mother's maiden name. Have you found them?

I can't find either of the births you mention.

Not just me then! Alexandra,.where did you get your info from?
Jan

If James is the one registered at Willesden, his mother's maiden name is Cunningham.

??????????

Name: Grace D M Pickett
Death Registration Month/Year: 1968
Age at death (estimated): 78
Registration district: Southwark
Inferred County: London
Volume: 5e

Madmeg, I assume you mean this:

Births Sep 1928 (>99%)
Hanwell James Cunningham Willesden 3a 424

There is this too but now I'm totally confused!!

Births Dec 1929 (>99%)
Hanwell Male Cunningham Paddington 1a 59

Name: James Pickett
Spouse Surname: Grace DM Williams
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1920
Registration district: Southwark
Registration county (inferred): Surrey
Volume Number: 1d
Page Number: 290

There is an un-named Hanwell born Dec 1929 at Paddington - mother's maiden name Cunningham. Interesting.

You don't seem to have done any checking, Alexandra.


Marriages Jun 1920 (89%)

Pickett James Williams Southwark 1d 290

Can't find 'other half' at present.....not transcribed by freebmd

EDIT:

I've ploughed through the images on Ancestry.......the spouse is
WILLIAMS GRACE D.M.

As per the DEATH record.

I didn't post the details as they might have been living people - but sometimes it can't be avoided.

This is the one I meant:

England & Wales, Birth Index: 1916-2005
about James Pickett
Name: James Pickett
Mother's Maiden Surname: Cunningham
Date of Registration: Jul Aug Sep 1928
Registration district: Willesden
Registration county: Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Middlesex
Volume Number: 3a
Page Number: 424 (click to see others on page)

BUT....as I pointed out earlier..........JACK is NOT used for James.......it's used for JOHN

That's my little lot - until Alexandra re-appears and tells us where she got her 'info'
