Find Ancestors

I am trying to find out anything regarding EJ Pedersen, who I believe was the second wife(?) of Conrad Pedersen,. She died in 1957 in Yeovil, Somerset.

I know that Conrad was living near there when he died in 1952 and his widow(?) E J Pedersen was named on his death certificate. Widow bracketed because I can find no record of their marriage as yet.

I know nothing more about EJ Pedersen but would very much like to find out more. Conrad was the eldest son of Christian Pedersen, who emigrated from Norway to Australia and then settled for 20 years in Liverpool. Conrad remained in Liverpool after the rest of the family went to Australia in 1892. His wife of 18 or so years, and the mother of his four sons, left him in about 1910/11 and moved in eventually with a Mr McAllister. At some stage Conrad met and settled with EJ (Pedersen - I do not know her maiden name or place of birth etc). I have it on 'family legend' that he was very happy with EJ for many years. I would dearly love to know more about her and her family. Conrad was my grandfather whom I never met. Can anyone help please?

Wife Pauline Carlin

Thanks - that's as far as I have got. She was listed on my grandfather's death certificate as 'wife'. I'd love to know more about her and her family.

They could have been married abroad, or she may have been his 'common law wife'. Knowing a little about him I would have thought they did marry.

Have you managed to work out when his first wife died ?

would think then that Eva was a common law wife.

Certainly looking that way at the moment.

will of Egbert Conrad Pedersen of Engenni Greenfield Road Little Sutton Cheshire died 29th June 1928 at Axim Gold Coast Colony West Africa.Probate Liverpool 1st Feb to Gertrude Pederson widow effects £5

Thank you for your efforts. I still am not really any nearer to EJ Pedersen, found on Conrad's death certificate and listed as 'wife'. Conrad's sons were all born in Liverpool - that is all correct. His first wife Pauline died a few years after he did after living for about 40 years with Charles McAllister whom she did eventually marry in 1952 - the year Conrad died. I have an Eva J Pedersen, who could well be the same lady, who died in 1957 (2nd quarter).

I was hoping to find out more about her. Very many thanks for your efforts.

So would seem that his wife Pauline was informed Conrad had died which then left her free to marry. So this goes back to Eva and Conrad not being married as he was still married and didn't divorce.

Unless someone in the family has any info on Eva.s surname then you probably wont find any more on her

Thanks again.
This snippet will explain why I could find no reference to Uncle Bert's death in UK BMD records. How do you discover the contents of wills? This left Gertie with so very little.

"will of Egbert Conrad Pedersen of Engenni Greenfield Road Little Sutton Cheshire died 29th June 1928 at Axim Gold Coast Colony West Africa.Probate Liverpool 1st Feb to Gertrude Pederson widow effects £5"

Glitter-Baby - I had spotted that mistake in the transcript - it took me a long time to find her because of that. Certainly she was Pedersen at that stage. She didn't become McAllister until 1952. I did contact Genesreunited months ago about this transcript error. Glad someone else has spotted it!
