Find Ancestors

Hi Im looking for Victor Keith Bryan Marigold b.13/09/ 1926, can anybody find him on the 1939 Census for me please? I have no access to this census. Many thanks I am also trying to find out who is parents are . Many Thanks

His parents can be determined by looking at his birth and looking for their marriage

How did you find his exact DoB?

My niece has just got married to his grandson ,but he doesnt know much about him or whether his surname is common, and his father has passed. I offered to help him on here, with the help of you wonderful people. Ive added him to my family tree hoping I could find out anything

You can do so much yourself………..worth having a go

Use freebmd…….it’s EASY

That’s all anyone on here would do

He isn’t an open record in 1939, which isn't a census. It is a REGISTER, with different criteria from censuses.

Im on Freebmd at the mo, not having a lot of luck, but i will try and keep looking. Thank you

MMN not listed on GRO

MARIGOLD, VICTOR KEITH BRYAN
GRO Reference: 1926 D Quarter in WEST HAM Volume 04A Page 517

His 1926 birth registration is on freebmd, easily found and shows mmn

His 1957 marriage also shows on freebmd

Marriage of his parents shows in the same RD as his birth in 1922

The 1939 register was not a census but a register drawn up iat the beginnings of WW2 of all people in the country (apart from most Service personnel who were registered seperately).
It became the basis od the NHS system after the wr and alterations continued to nbc made up until the early 1990's

1939 register

First name(s) Last name(s) Birth date Sex Occupation Marital status Schedule Schedule sub number
Thomas V Marigold 01 Mar 1887 Male Wholesale Furniture Salesman Married 170 1
W Elsie (Jessie Whitaker) Marigold 03 Jul 1886 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Married 170 2


On the original, the entry is written as ditto for Marigold surname and then W Elsie.
At a later date Jessie Elsie Whitaker has been written in. These names would go with the first name and initials on the marriage record.

The transcript makes no note of a closed record, but there is a redacted line on the original - presumably Victor.

You need to read every second line to make sense of this.

MMN not on GRO as the birth was less than 100 years ago.

I assume your niece's fiancé has his death details:

MARIGOLD, VICTOR KEITH B 1926

You asked how common the Marigold surname is -

40 in 1841
39 in 1851
36 in 1861
38 in 1871
72 in 1881
62 in 1891
Up to this point most lived in the West Midlands - Warwickshire, Staffordshire
From then most lived in London
This info from https://www.findmypast.co.uk/surname/marigold
81 in 1901
86 in 1911
62 results on the 1921 census
99 in 1939 but 13 of those were not Marigold's at the time ie married after 1939 and became Marigold

Try googling for more info about the surname

Not sure why you can't find info on freebmd.................just put in surname and first forename and select 'all'
