Find Ancestors

Thank you Erikahfor the help you have given really appreciate everyone who helps on this site.

The four Breeze/McCann births were registered in Hartlepool 1930-1935

They are not open records in 1939.

William is at 22 Mozart Street, Hartlepool plus ONE closed record

Hi Erika my grandfather married in 1929 Mary nee mccann she died in 1938 on Xmas morning she was having a baby but never found out if baby was still born or a miscarriage as no one spoke about it my mother was only five at the time. I do know that he had been in the army I think it was the Stafford reg and they won the scissors cup in 1924. But didn’t know his where about after the family moved from jarrow to Hartlepool. You have been really helpful. And I thankyou.

In case it turns out to be relevant -

That 1939 couple, William and Edith, also had a daughter, Edith, in 1922.

That William died in 1953 in Market Drayton, with probate to his daughter.

Ancestry suggests he was baptised in Cheswardine, Shropshire on 25 Aug 1895. Parents James and Rose Ann.
That birth's registered in Market Drayton.

Of course Ancestry's supposition may just be because of the year of birth, and the geography.
But if true, then he can't be the Durham man in Lichfield in 1921.

There are a surprising number of men named William Breeze!

Deaths Dec 1938 (>99%)
BREEZE Mary 41 W.Hartlepool 10a 167

There were four Breeze/McCann births between 1930 and 1935 (though the eldest, Ivy M, died in infancy )- so maybe that's not the right marriage, unless the children weren't with their father in 1939.


ADDED:
I think it's the right marriage.
Mary's gravestone, in Stranton Grange Cemetery, Hartlepool, names her husband William James Breeze, died 12/11/1963, aged 69.

MORE:
The gravestone has actually been erected by one of their daughters, relatively recently by the look of it.

It says "Treasured memories of", and then there's a gap, followed by "Also her dear father William James Breeze. . . . [and so on] also his beloved wife and a dear mother Mary Breeze nee McCann . . . . . ."

Perhaps someone with a sub to FMP will have a look at this 1921 entry, please?
With luck, the birthplace may be another 1921 mistranscription.

He could have been in the army - do you have any reason to think he may have been - but military records for 1920 onwards are not online.

He should still appear on 1921 census

Who did he marry? And where, please.

Thank you for the information. Reguarding. William breeze. And family. Could William of been in army at that time. From 1921. And Erika h. It was still kind of you to help. All of you researchers. Are very kind and appreciated.

Yes, I made a mistake.
