I am having problems finding my husbands grandmother. I've found a record of her birth. Nelllie E Pountain (mothers maiden nameSpooner") born q.3 1916 in Selby, Yorkshire. She married Donald Latimer in 1937 in Selby. He seems to have then remarried in 1946. I then can't find any trace of her. Can anyone suggest where else I can search. Thank for your help.

Do you have both marriage certs for Donald to confirm it is the same man

you may have to get the second marriage cert to see what his status was on remarriage / ie divorced / widower

Didn't your husband's father ever say whether his father re-married? He'd have been around 7 years old at the time......

Who brought him up?

I assume this is his death.

Date of Registration: May 1994
Age at Death: 55
Registration district: Chelmsford
Inferred County: Essex
Register Number: C2G

Maybe she reversed her names and died in 1945

Name: LATIMER, Edith N
Registration district: Buckrose
County: Yorkshire
Year of registration: 1945
Quarter of registration: Apr-May-Jun
Age at death:28
Volume no: 9D Page no: 58

It would apppear that the son was born in the Buckrose Registration district

Births Sep 1938 (>99%)
Latimer Geoffrey D Pountain Buckrose 9d 64

More in hope than expectation!

Thank you for all of this - I'll have a word with my husband to see what else he know but it does seem likely that his grandmother died in 1945. Once again thank for all your help.
