Find Ancestors

Could anyone help find details on Mary Foreman.
Born 7 December 1912/13 in Middlesbrough.
I don't know her maiden name only that she moved to Watford and had 2 sons with either Bertie or leslie Foreman:
Dennis foreman born 19th July 1948
Tony foreman 1950/51.
It was believed they were not married but I found a possible marriage of leslie b foreman to a mary tenant in Watford at the same time.
Many thanks in advance for any help offered.

her maiden name was foreman looks like she was not married when she had children
says mother maiden name is foreman

Why not get one of the birth certs for its info
Anthony s was 1950


How do you know Mary actual birthdate ?

Have you looked for her on the 1939 register?

Please remove the actual DoB - invasion of privacy, and potential for identity theft

To find info, use freebmd

Maylon thank you for your help on both my threads . That's what I got when I checked Dennis birth certificate. I keep finding the name Tennant and nothing comes up for a mary born in middlesborough with that birth date.
I remember Dennis saying she was from Middlesbrough and leslie and mary never married, maybe she just took his name.
Thank you again, I really appreciate your input.

Shirley I have checked the birth certificates and it just says mary foreman.
I know it's her actual birthday from some paperwork handed to me when Dennis died. Dennis said leslie could have been bertie as he used both names.

Erikah. Thank you.

The name of the informant could be helpful

Now you've 'marked as answered', people will assume you need no further help

Shirley

She can't have, or she wouldn't have thought the wife's first name was MARY. It's clearly Olive on freebmd

There was a daughter of the Foreman/Tennant marriage

Erikah. Thank you, your details match the ones for leslie as I've just managed to find the details in some of my paper work.
I'm going to try and trace mary but finding it hard.
Much appreciation for your help.

Erikah. I didn't realise marking it as read did that, thank you for helping this novice. :-D

There’s no birth reg for a Mary foreman in Middlesbrough for that birthdate


Maybe they didn’t marry because he was already married !

So.......no divorce, which means Leslie couldn't re-marry

There appears to have been a child of the relationship between Olive and the unknown Williams
