Hi everyone can i ask do u think its poss for a man aged 70 to gat together with a woman aged 34 and become her partner
in 1955
jim

Anything's possible! There are relationship's of the same age difference today as was before 1955.Cass

Anythings possiable, have you found a marriage or death (for the man) so you can order the certificates as they may give you some answers.

Death certificates tell you who reportered the death and their relation to the deceased, although I have a 'widow' reporting her husbands death even though they were never married, this is clarified on her death certificate.

The wedding certificate will give you their age at marriage.

i have the mans death cert and the lady was present and living at the address but can,t find m or birth for them to each orther?

It might be worth you supplying the name's as there's plenty of help on this site to find them.Cass

hi cass
people have looked for me before and i don,t want to waste anymore of thier time. but it is a brick wall for
jim

Let's try again,Jim.Cass

the mans name is james peter nicholson he died oct 1960 aged 64
i have found 2 james peter nicholson,s one in west derby and one in liverpool both of these are born in 1890/1 these don,t fit the age given on the deaht cert
jim

I know somebody m to a man 25 yrs her senior, not as great a gap as you mention, but still a big enough gap since he is old enough to be her father. Though having said that, her father was about 20 yrs older than her husband.

hi kath
no the lady was my mom
jim

Have you found her death or remarriage?

I was also going to say they might have shaved a few years off to make the age gap a little less.

Theres a marriage in Jun 1915 for a James P in West Derby, if he was married before they may never have remarried but lived together as man and wife so everyone assumed they were married (this is what my great grandparents did, they both were married before).

at the time of death she was known as iris nicholson maiden name lister born in 1916 in sunderland although she was know as ( mrs nicholson) i can,t find a mariage any where
jim

Have you considered that they may not have married? My husband's parents lived as man and wife and it wasn't until after they had both died and I started to do our family history that I found that they had never actually married because he had been married in the 1920's and the marriage broke up but they couldn't afford to get divorced and it was too difficult to obtain anyway. This was confirmed last year by an elderly relative.
