Susan,

You may be able to locate her in the electoral rolls, her divorce(1932) from Andrew Youngs is also available on the National Archives site.

So she divorced AFTER marrying Henry !

**Ann** Report 4 Feb 2011 19:17

Well was just mulling over that one Mike, it does say covering dates 1932, so from experience of obtaining a divorce previously I would say it is 1932, as the "covering" date of 1861 divorce I obtained, did take place 1861.

If you get my drift! lol

Hi All
Loved reading your conversations, very amusing.
Thanks for having a look for me and sorry no real scandal !
I have tried to look on the electoral roll and havent really had any joy, family rumours had her living in Luton at an address that isnt Manor Rd toward the end of her life but I dont know who was listed at that particular address, any ideas how I could find out ?
She died when her youngest son was 11 and he and his brother went to live with their Grandfather in Manor Rd for a short while, after which they then ended up in a boys home and then fostered so no real continuity of info. So any clues would be most appreciated
Thanks Sue

Susan,

Have you obtained her death cert?

jax Report 6 Feb 2011 21:02

So is that Rosina Youngs death in Luton 1942 not her then? If it is does'nt look like she married anyone else

jax Report 6 Feb 2011 21:14

Last child born 1931 although in the name of Young not youngs as you say so that death would be correct

No I havent got her death cert as of yet and yes that is her death in 1942 and no I dont think she married anyone else I cant find any sign of it. The last child does have the "S" missed off the surname. Her last 2 children, I believe, have a different father from the rest (hence a divorce) but she and they still go under the name of Young/s.
