The Ada May Powell - John A Jones Marriage / Death Certificates 1952
Blackpool. I am still awaiting. I still live in hopes.............
Thankyou all again for all your work........ carried out on my behalf, Ada must be somewhere- Dead or Alive !!!!!!!!
Will talk with you all again when the Blackpool Cert' is delivered.

Margaret, I am really sorry about all this disappointment. I was pretty sure I had a good audit trail going. Certain, in fact. So can I ask you to please give us the details of all these certificates - dates, places, names, ages,occupations, addresses, witnesses, of each certificate. In fact everything on those certificates.

I cannot believe I have been so wrong.

In fact, I will send you a pm and ask you to scan them in to my private email address. I am so angry with myself.

Best wishes

Margaret

So what seems to be wrong, Margaret, is father's name and Ada's age. Ada's age could have been tweaked to fit the circumstances (e.g not older than husband) and father's name could have been forgotten, as in 1911 at one year old, she is with grandparents. She has never been found on a census with her father Thomas Alderson, as she stated on her marriage to Alfred Thomas Powell. She might have made up his name, remembering that he was Thomas something, when actually he was Thomas William. Maybe he wasn't known by his first name at all.

On the death I found, she was born 17 July 1910. This might be right or wrong, depending on the knowledge of the person giving the information.

I'm trying to think of all the excuses I can for getting it wrong. Please do let us have the info from the certs that you have.

Meg

On the 1911 census Thomas William Alderson is listed living / spending the night with his parents William and Mary Alderson. Address 3 Bowden Yard. Willington.Durham. I have Thomas William and Sarah Jane Alderson's
marriage certificate 16/10/1909 at The Registry Office.Auckland. Durham.
Thomas william Alderson was born 16/2/1888 at Stanley Colliery. Crook.Durham. I have his birth Certificate.
I have my parents marriage certificate 23/7/1927in Bradford.

The Liverpool Death Certificate Ada May Powell gives Ada May's birth as
August 1910 Foxtell park. Liverpool Died 1974 The death was registered by Ada's husband Albert Powell. so Ada was born and died in Liverpool.

I have looked at Ada's signature on her marriage certificate to my father
which is signed Ada May Alderson. the other signature's of Jones and Barker are A.M Barker and Jones. the M is similar but of course Ada is older.

Margaret.

This is a long shot, have you considered this birth registration

Births Dec 1910
ATHERTON Ada Liverpool 8b 101

The surname is similar to Alderson!


or could Ada have been adopted into this family and taken on the surname Alderson but wasn,t born as one!

Thank you corrinne...................for your interest and birth registration.

I can see where you are looking but I know my mother was born

Ada May Alderson her parents where Sarah Jane Alderson nee Brankston/Branston and Thomas William Alderson. My mother stayed in touch with her mother and reported her death in 1933.

I also sent for a death certificate for Ada May Donaldson as I thought it sounded like Alderson.

Thanks again. Please keep looking.
Margaret,
