Thank you Shirley - yes that's her.

Her sister was told she died during the blitz but didn't believe it - so that dates fits. I've just now ordered her death cert. How sad she was only 34 and had had 6 children - two had died at birth.

Ive tried tracing the children but the name Watson isn't easy but now Ive got the death cert coming it may give a few more clues. At least we will know what really happened to her.

Thanks again! :-D :-D

What about any of her children have they been traced through the records to see if any descendents know when she died

A possible if she was in a London hospital

Thankyou Shirley.

I'm helping an elderly chap, Irene's nephew to try to find out what happened to this lady. His mother (Irene's sister) was told she had died during the war but they were never able to find out if it was true.

Every year she put an appeal in the paper apparently to try to trace Irene. I wish the name was rarer! I've found someone with this family on a genes tree so have messaged her - no reply yet though. Its not been easy to look for the childrens marriages either due there being lots of people with the same name

Thanks very much for that check - much appreciated!

Cass :-D

Looks as if they may have been in Essex

Good evening - sorry its me again - I'm soo close to finding what I'm looking for.

Please could anyone do a 1939 register check for me on Irene Mary WATSON b1908 (nee Henry and formally Woodman). Born and lived some of her life in Camberwell. She was possibly living with her husband John J WATSON. I'm trying to find out where they were living and I cant find a death for her.

Many thanks

Wow thanks for all the additional info.

Shirley - very intersting - they ended up in Lincs which is a new avenue to look at. I wasnt sure zI had the right marriage but as it shows John Stanley Fox I know I have the right marriage.

All really useful info!!

Thankyou all!!

What is very odd is that putting in just the date as given on the death reg brings this up, Ive looked at it twice now and the date for Emily is very clearly 21/feb 1873 I think the closed record 'might' be the person with birth 1 Mar 1913 ? There is only one Arthur on the image born 1866...

Not picking Jessie woods up though

Hi Dea. Im afraid I dont know if they had children together. John has been married before but I know where his child to that marriage was in 1939.

As I dont know if Jessie had been married before couldnt look up children as dont know her maiden name.

Not a lot to go on I know

Thanks
Cassie

Do you know when and where they died?

Dea x

Good evening

Could anyone please do a 1939 check for me please?

The lady Im interested in is JESSIE M WOODS possibly Camberwell / London area.

I do not know her age but could be approximately 1910 or maybe later. I do not know if Woods was her married or maiden name but she married a John S Fox in 1941 in Camberwell.

Im interested to know who she was with before her 1941 marriage.

Many thanks
Cass
