Find Ancestors

My great grandmother was named Mabel Crobie, she was born in Ireland, possibly Cork, in 1888. She came to this country as a young girl, alone. This was the result of a court order, she said. She was sent to England for some reason, I can a woman of that name,claiming to be born in Edinburgh, and I can find a record of her marriage to James Warren, but before that, I can find absolutely nothing. I have been researching her for many years, and have got no further. Can anyone give me any ideas of how to proceed from here? I have ground to a halt!.

What is the name of her Father from the marriage certificate?

Is this the record you refer to ?


MABEL CROBIE
Birth: 1888 - Edinburgh (Midlothian), Ireland (Scotland)
Marriage: 1911 - London ( age 23)
Death: 1968 - London
Parents: Albert Crobie, Unknown (Mother)
Spouse: James Warren

Try looking for her in the 1901 Irish census......it's free. Google for web address

Nothing on the Irish census for 1901 only one Crobie listed at all so not a common name there , so I would follow the scottish lead.

Did you send for the birth certificate for Mabel Crobie b. 1910??

Why have you ground to a halt when you do not have the marriage cert ?

Have you thought of obtaining this birth certificate. Perhaps this could be the reason why she left her home? Could this be a daughter born before her marriage to Mr Warren?

Moody Blue,

You might want to check out the other thread to save you duplicating research.

SylviainCanada pointed it out above.

What you have found is already on the other thread.

Yes indeed ...... lots found on that other thread.


and there is at least one more thread ................... I found them by googling Mabel's name

Thankyou so much, everyone, for your help. Mabel was born in 1888 and died in 1968. Her father's name on the marriage certificate was Albert Crobie, he does not appear to have been present at the wedding. Great Grandfather never met him. Thanks Reggie for the Irish census suggestion, I did do that, but no one named Crobie appears. Moody Blue, what an interesting suggestion! And highly possible! I will follow that one up. Thankyou, again, everyone. I am truly grateful for your interest and patience.

In 1933 they are living at 57 Westerfield Road, Tottenham
