Yes that’s a good point! I’ll see. If I can request that.

Wonder if her marriage cert would help with saying if her dad was still alive

If he was deceased then the time frame would narrow down

Yes that’s correct for My Great Aunt Lil (As we called her) she was a very independent woman and got herself a job in a shop and a place to live, before she fell in love and married! Very forward thinking for the time.

The 1939 reg didn’t pick up lilians marriage but she was still in the same area

Sep 1942
Bampton Norman Yates Bingham 7b 1149
Yates Lilian A Bampton Bingham 7b 1149


Wonder if the cert would help with its info

Emma
Yes it’s very elusive

If that’s the right 1939 reg for Lilian the she isn’t with her parents

This could be Lilian on the 1939 reg so not at home

Thanks Shirley, I have the Information for William & Sylvia as that’s my Nan & Grandad. But it just seems like there is nothing more or it’s well hidden on William’s side. It’s proving tricky isn’t it

Have you found Florence born c1905 on the 1911 census

Not seeing a birth for her mmn stone on the gro

There doesn’t seem to be a birth reg for the name of Florence Elena Margaret Stone

Mar 1888
STONE Florence Ellen M Barton R 6a 166

Edit no she was a Florence Ellen Mary and stayed and married in Gloucestershire

As Lilian was born reg district Bingham could this be the marriage for William Roy


Marriages Dec 1938
Russon Sylvia L Yates Bingham 7b 1145
Yates William R Russon Bingham 7b 1145

So maybe the parensts are still on the same area in 1939

The cert too may say if father was still alive at the time of the marriage

I have two/possibly 3 great aunts. One was Lillian Annie Yates Born 1921 died 1996 her married name was Bampton.

I also had any Aunt Flo (Florence born 1908) and possibly an aunt May?

Who was your great aunt and when was she born please?

Were there any other siblings

I can’t find a date of death and somewhere I believe I found that her date of birth was approx 1886.

I did see her name was stone, but just believed that was her maiden name as it’s shown on my Grandads and great Aunts birth registry.

Thanks for your replies!

That is correct, that’s the right people! I’m just struggling to find any further information on Florence, her parents etc.

William Roy was my Grandfather and I am desperately trying to go further back on this side, my own father is quiet unwell and would love to know more information about his grandfather.

On my mothers side, we’ve been quiet successful and have traced back to 1774.

Thank you

could be they wern't free to marry
