Find Ancestors

Hello,
i am stuck on trying to find my husbands nan her name was Beatrice Alice Parker know her birthdate is 14. aug 1917 (died August 1984 kings lynn) and she married Thomas Frederick Lancaster birth 2 Nov 1912 they had 2 children Frederick James Lancaster 6th May 1943 and his brother Thomas John Lancaster 23rd July 1945, both born in Brentford, but i cannot find a marriage or her birth, thought maybe i had wrong surname but her maiden name is parker on her sons birth records, so i cannot get any further as i cannot send of for marriage or birth certificate. any idea as i am going round in circles!!
many thanks

What about this for a late registration??


Name: Beatrice A Parker
Year of Registration: 1917
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Mother's Maiden Name: Smith
District: Sunderland
County: Durham, Tyne and Wear
Volume: 10a
Page: 1141

beginning to think that maybe this is her as cannot seem to find any with the right kind of birth date. nearer to london, but cut it close for the 6 week cut of date to register birth
thanks

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ offical site for certs. £7 with above details and you can get a check for birth date on there if it doesn't match then you get a part refund

thanks for that probably will do, but still would like to find marriage details
thanks

Hi Gillian,
thankyou for this info, maybe they were from sunderland nobody in the old days! seemed to tell there descendants much if they did we wouldnt all be doing this now! my mum thought her dad moved from ireland as a baby in 1903 but he was still there with lots more brothers and sisters she knew nothing about.
still would like there marriage details if anybody can find it.
thanks

Beverley have you looked at the complete index on Ancestry for the marriage?

I've had a little look from 1940 - 1943.

Births Dec 1917 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parker Beatrice A Smith Sunderland 10a 1141



Births Jun 1916 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parker Beatrice A Wood Halifax 9a 581


if you found her on the census sometimes you have to drop a year

Dec 1912 Birth

Lancaster Thomas F Carter Fulham 1a 409

Hi Chrisa,
afraid i am not a member of ancestory, they would of been in there 30s for having there first child which was quite late for them days.
thanks

Beverley if Beatrice was born 1917 she would have been 25/6 when she had her first child.

Ooops
got that many dates in my head cant even add up anymore!

Have looked on Ancestry 1940 to birth of 1st child Lancaster/Parker marriage but cannot see one

Beverley they married in Brentford in third quarter 1937. Vol 3a pg 1099.

The cert should give Beatrices fathers name to help you narrow down a birth for her.

The marriage index gives Beatrices name as Beatrice A R Parker so I think the birth that Christine found for you earier for Beatrice A R Green is well worth looking into.

there are these possible marriage for her parents

HI Chrisa
i will send of for her marriage certificate, and see if she was green maybe she adopted her fathers name after they married, not the kind of thing that people mentioned if they were born out of wedlock.
thanks

Hi Nerine,
this is possibly them, as Beatrice called her first son Frederick, possibly after her father.
thanks

Beverley my grandmother was born 1905, she was registered under her mothers name. Her parents married in 1907. No-one knew this tilI started doing my family tree & got her birth cert. Luckily she was given her fathers surname as her middle name. She was known all her life by her fathers surname.

I think Christine could be right with the birth & Marriage for her parents that she found for you on page one.

Beatrices marriage cert will hopefully tell you her fathers name, if it does & it matches the name given by Christine on page one ( possible marriage of parents Parker / Green) I would order that marriage cert & the Beatrice A R Green birth cert.
