That's interesting Reggie, could you expand?

I usually took it to indicate that someone was trying to appear grand!

I'll check the newspaper archives when I get home later.

Doubling-up a surname in that way was usually done for financial reasons

No marriage info on the site...........unfortunately

Glitterbaby - no I havn't but then again I was looking for Maybury-clare and I notice his birth registration s just Maybury. Perhaps that it what it will be under. I will search again. Sorry have to go out for about 1/2 hr but will be back. Thank you.

If you use freebmd and just put in Maybury-Clare under all Types (no dates) the earliest the following come up:

As there are no marriages for the births with MMNs Powell and Forsytg, it probably didn't take place in England or Wales

Sorry everyone - I'm not as stupid as I must seem - the Donolly was a typing error !!

and Reggie - re cert. Unfortunately the information I put on the thread was all my friend had. I will ask her when I next see her if she has any certs or paperwork which would assist. Thank you all.

Have you found them in 1901 ?

Try looking for the right name.....................lol!

Marriages Sep 1898 (>99%)
Conolly Lavinia Emily W. Derby 8b 671
Powell Richard West Derby 8b 671

So the Irish 1901 isn't relevant.

Your info about dates is somewhat sparse

Is the marriage in the name of Donnolly or Conolly - looking at 1898 entry

Look for Lavinia in Ireland in 1901

Is her father named on her marriage cert?

Have you found the first marriage for Lavinia

A friend wants to do her family tree and I said I would help. All she has is:

Her parents: Alfred Fearon Lord Maybury-clare and mother Irene Isobel nee Powell.

Maternal Grandparents: Richard Powell and Lavinia Emily Powell nee Donnolly..

I have scoured the internet and am getting nothing on Maybury-clare except the baptism of the abiove Alfred. It is located on Lancashire Parish Clerks project and says born October 1898, the child of Harry Maybury-clare and Lily. The baptism didn't take place until October 1929 !! however someone on Ancestry has a private tree for a Frederick Maybury-clare and I have contacted for help/info but no reply I'm afraid.

Also on Ancestry are the following deaths: Elizabeth d. 1952 regd. Barton, Lancs, the above Alfred Sept 1966, Wirral, Irene Isobel 1876 Wallasey, Fredk Victor 1992 (b 1905) Stockport and Bertha 1994(b. 1911) Stockport.

I cannot understand why this family can't be found on census returns prior to 1911.

As for the Richard Powell and wife Lavinia Emily. I have them on 1911 census which shows wife born Straffan, Dublin. I have found Richard on 1871 census which gives his father but not a thing for Lavinia Emily.

I have no idea at all which way to tread with this little lot. Looks to me like an impossible task. Anyone any brilliant idea before I pull the rest of my hair out !!! Thanks.
