Find Ancestors

Hi Flip and Gritty,

I am still digesting all this info and updating my tree. Also I have sent off for the wedding certificate of Mary Ann Pike and John Kershaw and will let you know my findings when it arrives.

Can I also confirm back to you that below are the siblings of Mary Ann aka Edith?
Alice E Pike 15
Henry George W Pike 13
Edith Annie Pike 10
Nellie Pike 6
Annie Pike 3
Charles Arthur Pike 2

This is great and will give me more to go on and who knows I may pick up some more contacts from here.

I will look at John Granville Kershaw records when I have a bit more time as it may be that he is the son of Florry and John but I just need to look at all the dates and census to get this right in my head!

Can anyone look at newspaper BD notices?

Thank you all once again,

Vicky.

Until you get the Pike/Kershaw marriage cert to make sure I've got the right family you can't be sure of her siblings - we need to confirm her father's name/occupation.

However, I can say John Granville Kershaw wouldn't have been Florry/John's child - they only married in 1919 and you have to be "of age" (ie 21) to obtain probate. So he was at least 21 when John died.

So, who's son do you think he is?

Hello Vicky- you'll need the birth certificate, but it looks like John Granville Kershaw was John's son from his first marriage to Alice Thomas.

If you look through previous pages on this thread you'll see the John/ Alice marriage.

Been away for a couple of days, but I agree with Gritty on John Granville Kershaw think he is the product of John's first marriage It's not a common name combination, which is why the probate record drew my attention.

I could mean either Mary/Edith was divorced, or John may have committed bigamy! Who knows, although I can't see a divorce for her.
