Find Ancestors

thank you for your help still can't find a death for winifred she could have gone to canada where her sister lived

Problem is, she could have been using any name under the sun

The full divorce papers may have more info than the single sheet which is on an Ancestry tree

I, for one, looked at worldwide records - I’m sure others will have done so, also

She was obviously alive when Muller divorced her……….

The Ancestry tree which has the divorce record shows a sister (Edith Mitchell) dying in Australia in 1991, having previously been in Canada

Just to confirm that 1939 register shows 25 women named Winifred who give DoB as 26/10/1904

Fourteen can be eliminated instantly due to second initials

Of the others, we can rule out

Winifred Stracey - born in Braintree 1904.
Winifred McGrory - nee Fagan, per marriage 1935.
Winifred McAndry - nee Hogg, per marriage 1929.
Winifred M Tarnall - name actually Yarnall, nee Hatherley, per marriage 1926.
Winifred M Beldon - nee Peckover, per marriage 1928 (to BeldoM per FreeBMD, and middle name Nellie, per birth reg.)
Winifred Locke - has middle initial A added, which matches birth.
Winifred Rowan - nee Kelly
Winifred Over - nee Marchant.
Winifred Evans - nee Davies


That leaves two:

Can't see a marriage for a Winifred to John Crehan or Grehan (Crehan per second marriage to William Middlehurst, 1950). Can't see John's birth, either, supposedly 1 Aug 1899.

Can't see marriage of a Winifred to Ernest M Turner.


But of course she may not have been calling herself Winifred.

There were only two Mauds born 26/10/04, without middle names, per 1939.
Both can be ruled out.

Maud Dixon is probably indeed Maud Dixon, though there are several possibilities for her birth reg.

Maud Rudd - nee Hewison.
