Gavin - where did they live? (Those are fairly common names so location will narrow it down).

Do you know of any children?

You say she was born 1874, remarried 1933 and had 3 more children? She would have been 59 at remarriage, wouldn't she?

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 22 Sep 2010 21:31

It looks like she remarried in 1943 not 1933. Margaret has already found the marriage for you.

well, yes, she left henry willson while he was at war and had 3 children with platt. she married platt when henry willson die in 1931. the 3 children are illegitimate,

Mike *

Mike * Report 22 Sep 2010 21:44

So the 3 children are not Platt then ?

KathleenBell

KathleenBell Report 22 Sep 2010 21:47

If she wasn't married to Mr. Platt when she had the three other children then they are probably registered in her first married name - Willson - even if she was not living with Mr. Willson because that was still her surname at the time.

If you buy her second marriage certificate it should have her previous married name and her maiden name on it.

what agreat help this is what we were looking for. so it was harry not henry.

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 22 Sep 2010 21:49

Gavin, Harry is a sort of nickname for Henry. Going by info given he was probably registered as Henry but may have called himself Harry.
