Find Ancestors

I last delved into this mystery about 3 years ago and am still going round in circles :-(

All information is included here:


I have the marriage certificate dated April 1960 at Tynemouth RO between:

Thomas Lewis Taylor aged 46 years
(Previous marriage dissolved)
Refrigeration Plumber
2 St. Oswins Place, Tynemouth
Father: George Taylor (deceased) Cotton Warehouseman.

and

Agnes Gold Miller Henderson aged 38 years
Spinster
Wages Clerk/Typist
2 St. Oswins Place, Tynemouth
Father: James Henderson - Indoor Officer, Customs & Excise.

Witnesses: Jas. Henderson and Jean F. Henderson.


I have also got Thomas's b/c (1913 Liverpool) and d/c (1970 Tynemouth).


I simply cannot sort out the Hendersons and am going round in circles.


There is no birth for an Agnes Gold Miller Henderson and I have tried various combinations of the name.


James Henderson is a much too common name to conjure with and so I moved onto Jean F. Henderson.


There is one Jean F. Henderson born in 1910 but it looks as though she married a Wibberley in 1932.


The only Henderson I can find who has married a Jean F. anything, is
Keith Henderson who married a Jean F. Moss in 1955.

Keith's MMN was Hay, but I cannot link it to Agnes.



The other peculiar thing with Agnes is that she is registered as the Informant on Thomas's d/c and is down as Widow.

but

there is another marriage for her in 1969 (a year before Thomas's death) to a Francis K. Sweeting.

Would she still be considered his widow even though she was married to someone else?




Thomas is one of my OH's uncles and we know little about him.....his first marriage; whether he had children etc. OH remembers that he was in 'the guards' but can't remember which regiment but was reputed to be one of Monty's bodyguards.


This man has caused a huge amount of work because he was only known as 'Ben' in the family. Apparently he was very tall - hence Big Ben. sigh......it doesn't help does it. It took me a long time to work that out.


I would be very grateful if someone could please point me in the right direction.......Thanks. :-D

Have you tried Scotland for a birth, her name sounds very Scottish?

Hi Cynthia.
If you just do a random search on Ancestry for 'Agnes Gold' it comes up with a death note thingy (!) for an Agnes Gold Miller Lonie in Scotland in 1932. Might be a co-incidence obviously. Might she also be Scottish do you think?

Nice one Marie :-D

Edit...and Stuart

MC? You're wonderful thank you.

Jans? Yes, that's her 2nd husband's death. Looks like she married a toyboy doesn't it? Thirteen years her junior....... :-S



Gins? Fanks.

Off to Scotland I go......


I wish.



Cx :-D

Cynthia - you don't need to thank me twice so I'll pass one of those to Stuart as he was just a few minutes behind me!

I know youre excited, but stop repeating yourself woman!

Thanks Stuart - much appreciated :-D


Jan, I've always thought you were great and that included your mind ;-)



As Agnes was 38 when she married Thomas and 47 when she married Francis, I guess it is unlikely that there are any offspring.


I suppose there may be offspring from his first marriage but haven't a clue who he married.... :-S



Thanks. Cx

I have deleted my hiccups. Can't have you lot saying that I am getting senile........

Runs ---------------------------------------->

Waste not want not. Will post as I used up a credit to have a look ?Jean F Henderson could be a sister of Agnes. These are the Scottish Jean F's 1915-1930. Not in Perth, but maybe the father moved around as a "Revenue Man". There aren't any in England for that period

I've looked at that marriage before Gins but he would only have been 18??? :-S


That's his death - I have the cert. :-D


Thanks Stuart - I'm going to start on Scotland shortly!!

I love saying this to you!


You need to BUY the certificate :-D
