There is a Desiree J Melson showing on old electoral rolls on Ancestry.

Desiree is the more common spelling.

Might be worth getting the birth certificate to confirm the spelling and see whether she was adopted or not.

Penny,

Probably this one:

Births Dec 1913
Doudney Desiree G Poulden Bath 5c 849

Rose

is this lady connected? Unusual forename and right middle initial, cant quite add up her surname but.....

Name: Disiree G Doudney
Spouse Surname: Peter B Warcup
Date of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep 1946
Registration district: Kensington
Inferred County: Middlesex
Volume Number: 5c
Page Number: 2747

Just in case, a son born 1952 to this marriage.Surrey
Daughter 1948

the spelling of Launton, Somerset could be Taunton in which case you could be looking for Williton,Somerset.

Hi everyone who helped on this . found elsie under her second marriage cert in fact died in april 1966 in barnet cemetary . she was in fact my husbands birth mother who was adopted in 1947 by then 5years old . thanks again . IM still looking for disiree gillian melson 1930 ; and a marjorie melson . who are half sisters to him :-)

Pauline has all the other details for the two remarriages. One of the births I sent is her hubby and she is trying to find when his mum died as he was fostered out.
Have sent a possible death altho the age is out ,not unknown tho as she may have docked a few years off her age.
Plus one of the other births IS a brother and unfortunaely he seems to have died in 2006. have sent his marriage and children with a poss marriage for one of them plus info on finding her on www.192.com for electoral roll info.

At the moment I dont think anyone needs to do anymore look ups for this query. (just to save you all looking) :-D

Oh, silly me.........didn't check as carefully as I should have.......I'd had a long day!

Pauline really needs the marriage cert..........................although, of course, we aren't sure what she's actually looking for................

Does she, I wonder, know of the probable second marriages for the couple?

Flick,

That would make her 12 when she married in 1927. The 1908 one Shirley posted seems more likely.

Rose

Pauline,try getting in touch with the local paper,either online or writing to them.

i found 2 uncles and an aunt and many cousins for a family friend,within a day of my article being printed.

worth a try

I think the 1911 request is a red herring............this looks like the birth of the woman who married

just had a PM requesting access to my tree, have explained I have no connection, Pauline knows she married Mr Melson and had a daughter Desiree whom she has tried to contact but letter returned. Not really sure now what she is after so will post the details.

theres 3 births which will PM from 1930-1942

Unlikely that anyone actually 'knows' these people.......they are almost certainly dead.

Someone on GR may be related to them, and have some information........try looking for the names in search trees.......above the board in dark green

What is your connection to Elsie Steele? What are you trying to find out?
