Unfortunately I can't find any trace of them after this! Typical, serves me right for thinking they were easy ...

could Charlotte have remarried ?

Marriages Mar 1929

there is a Maloy-Blanks birth registered in 1930 in Brentford ... no Maloy-Blanks marriage

(also a birth and death of a child in 1932 in West Ham)

this is the death of the child in question

Birth Date: 20 Dec 1929
Date of Registration: Mar 1991
Age at Death: 61

There are only two Oliver Leaper deaths

there is no other Oliver J Leaper birth

I see no divorce at nationalarchives but the records are not complete

given this possible complication ... perhaps the daughters were not his and went by a stepfather's or birth father's surname ...

I have edited the above messages several times to add info as it was found in the places where it belonged :-)

still no trace of the daughters by any possible surname identified so far ...

I think Edward F Maloy's marriage is recorded as Malloy, there is no birth to match that name

the wife was born in 1939 and is probably still living, name Malloy on 2011 electoral roll ... but I find no matching telephone listing under either spelling

the child of that marriage is also on the 2011 electoral list as Malloy but I can't find a telephone listing either and the child's marriage seems to have happened after 2005

if someone here can access the electoral roll info let me know in this thread and I will provide the names and details

otherwise I can provide them to Julie so she can buy credits to find the info

the people in question seem to be the wife and child of Edward F Maloy, son of Charlotte Blanks ... from what I can surmise :-)

I am suspecting that the two daughters were placed for adoption

if you get their birth certificates you will have their exact dates of birth and this information could help in your search

LEAPER AND MALLOYS

THANKS FOR ALL THIS WONDERFUL INFO EVERYONE
JULIE

got your PM with the explanation, am sending you the info about living people


if someone sees this who has current electoral roll access they can send you a private message and you can pass on to them the electoral roll info I am sending


you're very welcome !

edit .. found and sent contact information for daughter-in-law and grandson of Charlotte.

Thanks again all at GR. I am on the right track with a possible relative and the birth cert of Avis is on order!
