Find Ancestors

I have drawn a complete blank on this side of my family, can anyone help? Dorothy Lees Haigh was my aunt, born in Chester. She left home at 18 and went to live with my great aunt Margaret (nee Haigh) in Yorkshire and then as far as I know married someone called Eustace and lived in London. If anyone knows anything about this wedding, I would be thrilled to find his surname.
The family were originally from Slaithwaite, my grandad Leonard Sykes Haigh was born there in 1884. His father was Joseph (c1860) and mother Elizabeth. Siblings were Harold (1886) and Margaret (b1888)

Any info on this branch of the Haigh family appreciated

Can you give some idea of the year Dorothy was
born ??

Do you know her parents names?

To all of you, especially Catherine, thank you. I had some of that information but not all of it, so I am ultra grateful!!!

The bit I can't get together, is Dorothy Haigh's marriage and children. She was the daughter of Leonard Sykes Haigh and Sarah Anne McCauley and had a brother named Frank Wilkinson Haigh (b1913) He was my dad.
Thanks to anyone who can help
Dot

it's a long shot but if you know where in Yorkshire your Aunty Margaret lived, then maybe one of these could be worth looking into:-

Yorkshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1928
HAIGH Dorothy PARKER George H St Silas, Hunslet Leeds CE24/D/7

Yorkshire Marriage indexes for the years: 1930
HAIGH Dorothy RICHARDSON Henry W Methodist Chapel, Greenside, Wortley Leeds AP78/A/33
HAIGH Dorothy WOOD Donald C Doncaster Register Office Doncaster DON/74/134

This wasnt her marriage was it?

Thanks again Catherine, you too Jenna.

From what I remember, Gt Aunt Maggie lived in Slaithwaite Huddersfield. I was led to believe that Dorothy Haigh married a man called Eustace (!) but that could have been a red herring. She went to be a nurse.
There was some sort of family fall out and my nanna never saw her daughter Dorothy again - a bit sad really - but I would love to track down her children - my only cousins

I found this death record which could be worth looking into.

Dorothy Lees Wildman 27 Jun 1907 Died Oct 2002 Aged 95 West Berks Berkshire

Checked the birth records for a Eustace Wildman and believe it or not there is one, born in Huddeersfied too. I think we could be onto something here.

Births Sep 1909 (>99%)
Wildman Eustace Huddersfield 9a 297

Don't know if this is relevant but there was a Eustace Wildman who had two Estate Agents in Huddersfield in the 1930's:-

Name: Eustace Wildman
Estate Agent
Address: Argyle Rooms 4 Buxton Rd
Exchange: Huddersfield
City/Town: Huddersfield
Publication Year: 1937
Directory County: Lancashire
Page Number: 315
No:- Huddersfield 3915

Name: Eustace Wildman
Address: Estate Agnt, 19 Lion Chambers T.....
Exchange: Huddersfieltf
Publication Year: 1936
Directory County: Lancashire
Page Number: 289
No:- Huddersfield 3915

Oh Catherine you are an absolute star! That is just the breakthrough I have been looking for. It all fits in with what I thought I knew.
I have something to work from now
Bless you
Dot

Finally found a marriage for Eustace and Dorothy.
1937
Eustace Wildman - Haigh - Huddersfield 9a 624

Glad I could help!
Catherine

Brilliant, I never looked that far ahead, I had stopped about 1935! Quite a late starter then. I have also been looking much earlier for her children - I can now start from 1938
Thanks again
Dot

Dorothy

Plus fellow helpers, here we go again, at 10.53 this morning Dorothy posted a message looking for the marriage of Dorothy L Haigh to Eustace Wildman,
At 11.30 I gave her the marriage details plus two possible children, so Catherine looks like you have just duplicated .

Dorothy has obviously not checked the second thread.
