Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 187 Send Message	Help please, i've hit a brick wall searching for Nora Darby's family. Nora was born in the Bootle district of Cumberland in 1911, she married Harold Aubrey Constable in 1933 in Millom, Cumberland. Her father was James Darby.

	Looking at births in the area after 1911 there are a few but they give the mothers maiden name as Darby So did her parents not marry perhaps? or just confused? or maybe they are not her siblings? Do you have her birth cert? jax

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 187 Send Message	Yes that's strange Jax, but it says in the census they've been married 11 years, so not sure on that one

Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 187 Send Message	That's brilliant Jax thank you. Marriage is possible, i will see if they're in someone elses tree, they might know :-)

	Not sure about the marriage as it is not in the right area and I have just noticed a couple of births in Barnsley for Darby/Drew Maybe Norahs birth cert will help jax

	James Darbey = Mary J Darbey Marriage 1900 Saint Georges church Millom Cumberland. www. Cumbriabmd.org.uk may be of interest to you Wayne. Also marriages for Norahs siblings and deaths of parents. I think it was Mistycat who found it for me. Regards Maurice.
