Prickles. :-)

No idea if it's relevant......but there is a Watterson/Knight marriage registered 1981 in Wolverhampton.

Could you say when your sister Patricia Lilian was born, please?

If Nellie was born 1905 and married in Warrington in 1926, and had a daughter Jane presumably before marriage, that puts Jane at around 90 years old. So yes, her mother is likely dead.

Surely we are looking in the wrong era.

Jane, when were you born?

Meg

If you read Jane's post...she gives a name for the foster family....I keep looking at a birth in Wolverhampton in Q2 1941 with surnames that seem correct (easy to find so I am not posting details) which could be her sister

Then in 1964 in Warrington there is a marriage for the same Christian names and what I believe was the fostered name

Jude

Jane's birth is on freebmd................Jane is not her registered first forename

The info posted is her mother, and her mother's husband

I have asked Jane to return.............................
she did look at the thread once.............

Still learning about this site. Thanks Reggie you have been very helpful.

Thanks to jude and prickly and everybody else trying to help i would just like to gather as much information as i can about my relatives before i die. So keep going there is much work to do yet and i welcome any help you can give. It would be good to know my fathers first name and i was led to believe all my life his surname name was clark and my birth name was clark. I believe they broke up and i was adopted but i dont really know anything only different tales i have been told by different people.

If you click on the above link, then click on the deceased name, it gives further info including their address.

Dear Jane...

On the assumption that Reggie's find is correct and you really are nearly a nonagenarian (and well done you!) then I don't think any certificates are going to tell you much.

Were you ever in contact with your sister? Do you know when she was born?

If the deaths and burials are the correct Nellie and Mr Clark, it seems unlikely that they broke up seeing as they are buried together so long after they married.

Jude

If you purchase a copy of Nellie and Clarence's marriage cert, it will hoepfully give you details of who his Father was. This will enable you to find him on the 1901 and 1911 census.
