Thanks for updating us here Alana, glad to hear it was the right person :-)

Hi all

Just to let my helpers know that the Debbie Tookey was the lady we thought she was. I have had a very interesting day following up emails and a telephone conversation that has opened a few more doors.

Thank you again for your help. This tree research is addictive

Alana

The marriage would be after the marriage reg cut off ArgyllGran, ( not the Battams one) I have worked through it again, and pretty certain as the daughter who is in friends list has right birthyear( someone wished her happy birthday which was useful
lol)

Hi

Thank you all for the fantastic information I have received today from the Genesfriends community its a good start in helping my sister build some information on her family history.

Thank you all again

Alana

Yes, same one as I was investigating - but I don't "do" Facebook.

Martin Tookey married a Battams, and from there the trail seems to lead back to a Miss Weller.

I can't link the name to Chase or Petyt, even though the forenames seem to match.

Argyll Gran am working on the principle that the child born 1962 married twice, the one I have sent to Alana remarried Tookey, and has Chase and Petyt names in her friends list?

maybe i have lost the plot though, I have a cat sitting on the keyboard lol

I've tried to follow her marriage history without success.

The lady with the correct first name and middle initial on the Southampton ER, along with Chase son and daughter, seems to have married the husband Martin in 2004 under surname Battams.

The lady with the correct first name and initial, and Martin's surname, is on a Bedford ER for 2006-10 .
Also at that address (at some time, not sure when) are (apparently) the Chase daughter now surnamed Battams - unless she's a different person with the same first name and middle initial,
and two young men with surname Battams.
also a woman with first name same as the 1962 lady - different middle initial but that could be a mistake - and surname Weller.

The birth record (1994) for one of the Battams boys give his mms as Weller.
Can't find the birth of the other one at present - not with mms Weller, anyway.

There's a Bedfordshire marriage in 1991 for a Battams to a lady with the correct first name and middle initial, but surname Streames.

Also an 1987 marriage of the same man to a Jennifer Carr.

Taking the Streames name, there's a 1987 Bedfordshire marriage of a Steames (no r) to a female Weller with the right first names.

So Ms Weller can't be Miss Petyt

His birth record shows his mms as Weller.

So either the other people in Southampton at the same address as the Chase son and daughter are no relation, but just happened to have lived at that address at some time, and the mother just happens to have the same first names as the Chase children's mother - or I'm totally confused.

The daughter born 1962 was on erolls in Hamps, surname Chase. But looks like she remarried will send Facebook link by PM, confirms new name on erolls and son is in friends list.

Re George's possible grandchild born 1962 - she may have married in 1985 in Southampton.

She may then have had two children, both born in Winchester, 1987 and 1992

The 1939 daughter of George may have married Maurice Petyt (that's a more useful surname!) in 1959 in Holderness, Yorkshire.

They may still be alive, or maybe died in just the last few years - I don't see death records online.


If that's the correct marriage, she had a daughter in 1962, born in Holderness.

Re possible children of Stella -

there are several Brown / Purcell births after 1940, but none in Yorkshire, so can't tell if any of them are likely to be hers.

It's a pity she didn't marry someone with a more unusual surname.

Hi

I am doing this for my half sister who is Thomas william Richards daughter. She never knew her father and is looking for any information on her fathers family life
