Find Ancestors

Need some help with this one...
William McHenry married Doreen Mason Crewe 1959 Q1 10A/593. Having checked FMP and FreeBMD for the life of me I cannot find his Birth or Death :-S

With a name like McHenry I wondered if he is Scots and moved South??

I am open to suggestions from you Good 'peeps'
Thanks beforehand
Ron :-D :-D

there's 2 william mchenry births scotland between 1921---1931
you will need
http://www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

Thanks SAFC do I need to subscribe to scotlandspeople?

You buy credits for Scotland's People - £7 for 30. 1 credit gets up to 25 results and a further 5 allows you to look at and download the certificate if over 100 years ago for births, 75 for marriages and 50 for deaths. More recent and the GROS reference number given allows you to order the certificate - £12 a go I think.

You can manipulate the site to a certain extent i.e. you could narrow down the birth years for the 2 results that safc has posted and also the county and the RD that they were born in.

There are quite a few McHenrys showing in Ireland too

Hi SAFC have registered with scotlandspeople, see I have to buy credits!!!! Thats not an option at the moment :-0 :-0

yes

but you can get 20 free credits

just follow this link and sign up

you will need to send off for the cert as you can't see it on line because of scotland 100 year rule.

Thanks Greyghost . I'm not certain he is from Scotland, but will see later :-D :-D

Thanks again SAFC :-D :-D

Off to my Bed now you good 'peeps; :-D :-D

there are births for william mchenry in bdm 3 with no middle name

It took me a while to figure out that Crewe was not the wife's surname ...

there were births to that marriage, and all these people are surely living

if you are related to them, can you not ask them whatever it is you want to know?


their marriages are easily found but unfortunately both the children only seem to be on the electoral roll up to a decade ago, unless they are now not with spouses

According to the 1939 register, Doreen Mason was born 1933.

192 has a William and Doreen McHenry listed in Crewe 2002.


Memorial notice in 2015 age 80

http://www.bmdsonline.co.uk/crewe-chronicle/memorial/mchenry-william/40825437?s_source=tmch_crch

Born 26th Feb 1935

Unusual that Doreen's entry to the 1939 register appears to be open although it appears that she was still living at the time of the memorial notice above.

Will available: https://probatesearch.service.gov.uk/#wills

A possible for William's birth based on the birth date:

First name(s) WILLIAM
Last name MCHENRY
Birth year 1935
Birth quarter 1
Mother's last name SNAPE
District PORTSMOUTH
County Hampshire
Volume 2B Page 672

Possible for parents' marriage:

Marriages Sep 1934 (>99%)

McHenry William Snape Portsmouth 2b 1541
Snape Lucy McHenry Portsmouth 2b 1541

I don't have access to the 1939 register, but it appears that Lucy is living in Crewe, which fits. Possibly the closed record is William born 1935

1939
McHenry Household Crewe M.B., Cheshire, England
Lucy McHenry 1911
1 more person who is officially closed

1939 gives date of birth for her as May 1st 1911.

This 'could' be her?


Births Jun 1911 (>99%)
Snape Lucy E Nantwich 8a 322

From Cheshire BMD site:
Cheshire Birth indexes for the years: 1911
Surname Forename(s) Sub-District Registers At Mother's Maiden Name Reference
SNAPE Lucy E Crewe Cheshire East CR/158/093

In the absence of any further detail, I suggest that these families would be worth following (for the parents - William + Lucy) ?

????? - It is 'possible' that they had a further child just after the census ?

Thank you for all the updates, will look thru them all shortly, and let you all know my outcome, amazing wat you kind 'peeps' find
Ron

I had William McHenry born Portsmouth, but, didn't think he was the one!
Doreen Mason married William in 1959

More pondering needed. Once again Thanks to all you good people for your time and effort :-D :-D :-D

1066ronnie

do you have the marriage cert for william mchenry 1959 ?

Afraid not SAFC :-0

William was born in Portsmouth where his parents married- his mother, Lucy, had moved to Crewe by the time of the 1939 register- the place where William married.-

From this, and his exact age given on the memorial notice it seems the Portsmouth birth is extremely likely.
