Could anyone help in finding the above William Haworth who died in 1971 aged 81. He married Ellen howarth in 1921 with registrar present in burnley. Not sure where he was born but grandson says burnley. He was in the royal marines during the first world war and when I looked on a burnley site I found one who could be him with the name William Henry Haworth . Any help would be really appreciated although I realise there may need to be certificates purchased with being such a common name in the area .

Sorry, not William Henry Haworth on the burnley site in the royal marines ...Just William Haworth :-(

William died in burnley though...not Darwin .....aged 81 in 1971

That's my fault as I gave the middle name Henry ....apologies ....don't know why I put Henry ....don't think he had a middle name ...sorry again :-)

Not picking up that marriage

Ahhh found it I was looking at her as Ethel !!!!

Get this marriage cert to start with from Lancs Reg Office:


1921:

HAWORTH William HOWARTH Ellen Burnley Register Office or Registrar Attended Preston RM/200/120

This will give their ages, addresses, fathers, occupations for both and witnesses who may well be family members...

Yes thankyou...that birth is a possibility ...death is correct one ...think the only way he will know fir certain as its a registrar marriage is by getting wedding cert. No other way round it. :-)
Could that mean either a registry office wedding or a non conformist church one ? :-)

I 'think' that the RM prefix means that it is a Catholic wedding ??

Oh well done. Had just seen that maiden name of Williams mother was probably whitworth so that fits in and its the right area as William was living in that area of burnley when he enlisted in the royal marines .
Thanks for that :-D

How do you know William's mother was Whitworth ?

Found that ....as long as he was born in burnley which his grandson says he was ...but until he gets wedding cert he won't know for certain if James and Mary Elizabeth Whitworth are definates for his parents ....he only knows for certain his death was in burnley in 1971 and his marriage was in 1921 to Ellen howarth. He knows he was 81 when he died ... :-)

His parents marriage

Marriages Sep 1898
HAWORTH James Burnley 8e 489

Either of these two but probably the later one as it is RC
