Find Ancestors

Looking for Thomas Edwards born about 1880 and particularly his wife 'Ginny'. They lived in Maple Rd Kiveton Park Yorkshire in the 1940's.

Have you found Thomas is all the census from the 1881 census. These would tell you where he was born and then you can confirm his birth year by finding his birth registration. The 1939 register would tell you if there were living at Maple Road.

Also look at the freebmd.org.uk website for his birth, his marriage and his death.

Welcome to the boards John

Looking for in what way?

What more do you know about them to help us help you?

Kiveton Park /'k?v?t?n/, informally Kiveton, or 'Kivo', is a village within the Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham, in South Yorkshire, England.

However, 1939 register shows it was then in West Riding

Rother Valley RD created 1938 out of Rotherham RD and returned to Rotherham RD 1974

Thanks for the replies. I used to visIt Uncle Tom and Aunt Ginny in the 1950's but never knew just how they were related to me. I believe it may be through my maternal grandfather's second wife "Daisy"but never knew maiden names for Daisy or Ginny. My grandfather was John Edwin Walker and my mother was Phyllis Walker who married my father John Oakton in 1930.

It's possible that "uncle" and "aunt" were just honorary titles , and that Tom and Ginny were just friends of your parents, and not related.

It was /is quite common to call non relatives Uncle/ Auntie.

If you have done a direct ancestors tree try filling the siblings, their partners and families.

It might solve the problem.

Your mother and her second husband (and you and your half sisters) lived at 19 Maple Road in 1939, so must have known the Edwardses well:

I suspect there's no family relationship at all.

(You will be the first closed record. The other will be Cynthia's twin sister.)
