Hello, I am trying to find any information on George Harold Marshall, born 1916 in Nevilles Cross, Durham City. His father was called Admiral Marshall, born in 1887 in Lanchester, Durham. Mother was Edith (Armstrong) Marshall.

This is the only George H Marshall I could find born in 1916:-

Births Mar 1916 (>99%)
Marshall George H (Bettison) Gainsbro 7a 1210

The district Gainsbro is an alternative name for Gainsborough and it spans the boundaries of the counties of Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire

Are you sure about your dates ?

Many thanks for your responses. George H Marshall was my father who divorced my mother after my birth in 1945 and disappeared from my life. I do know he married again and would like to trace the new family. All the information is wonderful and now II have had great success in tracing ancestors backwards (before 1916) but have no idea how to trace forwards. Any suggestions?
Julie

Catherine,
Yes I am sure of the dates as I have a copy of the marriage certificate of George H and my mother in 1940. It states he was born in 1916 in Durham. In the meantime I have the numbers for his birth certificate which is 10a 762 and have ordered a copy but this will not help me to go forwards in time to whom he married after my mother and where he moved to. Would love some suggestions please.
Julie

Once you have his parents names you can find any possible siblings from freebmd.
Does your mam not know any of his brothers or sisters or any of his living relatives?
The easiest way to find out what happened to him is to ask someone. Surely someone in his family must know where he is or what happened to him ?
Have you no contact with any aunties, uncles or cousins from your dads side?

Catherine

My mother is dead and I have had no contact with any of the family ever. All my aunts and uncles who may have known him are dead.
Julie

This is the only death record I could find for a George Harold Marshall born 1916:-

Name: George Harold Marshall
Birth Date: 17 Jun 1916
Death Registration Month/Year: Oct 1984
Age at death (estimated): 68
Registration district: Warwick and Leamington
Inferred County: Warwickshire
Volume: 31
Page: 549

If his exact date of birth was 17th June then it's a really good chance it's him.
If this is the case, at least you know the area that he moved to.
The death certificate will give you the address he was living at and the name of the person that registered the death. This is usually a relative, wife, son or daughter, but could be a doctor or someone else if he was living on his own or was in a home.
Hope it isn't him, but if it is, at least it will give you something to go on.

Catherine

Catherine, many, many thanks I will order the death certificate and go from there.
Julie

Catherine, Where did you find information on George H Marshall's death. I finally have the certificate and his wife was Beryl but I cannot find anywhere information on their marriage or her death. what sources do you use. thanks
Julie

Julia, you have to have a subscription to Ancestry or Findmypast to be able to search for them.

Was Beryl still alive when he died?

Christine

Yes she was, she signed the death certificate. Many thanks for the tip I will try this.
Julie
