Thank you Argyll and Shirley.

The marriage cert of 1920 will give her marital status

Margaret's marriage cert might tell you if her father was alive or deceased in 1934.

Margaret R Nichsen
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name Margaret R Nichsen
Registration Date Apr 1934 [May 1934] [Jun 1934]
Registration Quarter Apr-May-Jun
Registration district Hartlepool
Inferred County Durham
Spouse Lewis Natt
Volume Number 10a
Page number 261

Margaret died in 1984, and Lewis in 1988.


So would Christina's in 1939:

Christina H Niehsen
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Marriage Index, 1916-2005
Name Christina H Niehsen
Registration Date Jul 1939 [Aug 1939] [Sep 1939]
Registration Quarter Jul-Aug-Sep
Registration district Durham South Eastern
Inferred County Durham
Spouse Thomas C Turnbull
Volume Number 10a
Page number 373

Thank you all for the above. There are various spellings for John Niehsen which makes it tricky trying to find out what happened to him after the 1911 census. Did he go back to Germany when war was imminent or was he interned? Did he die naturally? Thank you all again, I appreciate the help.

There isn't a suitable male Neason death between the daughters births and a marriage for Minnie in 1920 unless surname spelt wrongly, WW1 only death is of a New Zealander died 1917 aged 21
