She is with an Ann T Burns on the 1939 which could well be her married sister?

BURNS William CAVANAGH Annie Westleigh St. Peter Wigan & Leigh C15L/4/112

Not sure what you mean Philip - Kath has posted his wife Agnes above (at 16.56) on the 1939 register. They were married in the June quarter of 1939 which was before the census was done.

would it be possible to look for Edwards wife agnes Teresa Cavanagh they marry in 1939 but must have been after the register. Agnes was born 17 September 1918 and would be living in leigh Lancashire
thanks

She is mistranscribed as 'Morris' on the 1939:

yes Alice Florence born 1890 was Edwards mum and I can't find her on the register either

Looks like Alice Florence was related - a sister perhaps?

Marriages Dec 1924 (>99%)

If this is the same one then Edward was at 72 Diamond St. in April 1940:

On the 19th April, 1940, Edward Beckinsale, 30. labourer, of 72 Diamond Street. Leigh. Lancs., saved Benjamin Williams, 4. of 3 Smithy Street, Leigh, from drowning in the Leeds and Liverpool canal.

24 May 1940 - Diss Express - Diss, Norfolk, England (Not sure why this is in norfolk newspaper?)


The 1939 shows a William Ernest and Alice Florence Norris at that address + 1 closed record?
(William born 29th Dec. '91 and Alice born 8th Oct. '89.)

thanks a lot for your help

I saw that death so if he was on the above record it should have been opened. However some "open" records are "closed" and vice versa, so it might be worth asking Findmypast if he is on the record. If you have proof of his death (certificate) then if he IS there they would open the record for you.

I
don't know but he died in 1971
thanks
