Can you give us some more info on her. Was Queenie her full birth name, who were her parents?

Do you have any other other info on her or her family?

If that is her why the extra middle name??

Age at death (estimated): 60
Registration district: Thurrock
Inferred County: Essex
Volume: 4a

Queenie may not have married anyone!

She may have assumed her partners name or indeed changed her name

You need to get certificates to try and rule in or out, what is correct and what's not

James

James Report 22 Apr 2011 18:38

There is always a possibility it could be wrong but you have to rule everything out, you said that she went down to dorset and the only queenie barker i could find that married in dorset was the one i found

if you have ancestry then you can search bmds from 1916 - 2005 and that can help to rule anything else out

James

James Report 22 Apr 2011 18:42

as for what ginny says about maybe she never got married i have done a search for queenie m barker deaths 1916 - 2005

and the only one i came up with for her year of birth was her dying in 1993 in yorkshire she either lasted to 95 without ever marrying or she did get married personally i think she did marry

jax

jax Report 22 Apr 2011 18:44

Yes we have ancestry James so we know that as per the death I posted re Queenie P M Wright born c1901 ,but we all know that its only the informants word that the date is correct....I am not saying your one is incorrect but Extra middle name and year of birth not right it is questionable

You missed this bit:


She may have assumed her partners name or indeed changed her name

Janet Report 22 Apr 2011 21:02

Did either of the married Queenie's have children, if so, their names might be a clue.

There is this marriage

Name: Queenie M Blundell
Spouse: Bertie Reeves
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1928
Registration district: Saffron Walden
Registration county (inferred): Essex
Volume Number: 4a
Page Number: 1163

for which there is no Queenie M Blundell birth, and I also find no marriage of a Queenie M to a Blundell. There are 4 Reeves-Bundell births following that marriage (which should all be shown at FreeBMD).

Search for births surname Reeves, mother Bundell. Too recent to post here, for privacy reasons.
