Geoff Report 24 Apr 2005 22:40

In fact she wouldn't be on an electoral roll before she was 21 - which suggests 1932 at the earliest.

Carol

Carol Report 24 Apr 2005 22:39

she was living in helston then in plymouth when she married .no wonder i could not find her . thank you jess.

The Bag

The Bag Report 24 Apr 2005 22:31

She wont have appeared on an electoral roll until 1929, at the earliest. What area was she living then? I'm getting confused, was she born in 1911 or was that when she married James jones? jess

Carol

Carol Report 24 Apr 2005 22:29

Also how do you spell her name? You have both Edgcumbe and EdgEcumbe in you first paragraph The only birth on Ancedtry for a Gwendoline is probably too early Edgcumbe, Gwendoline Record Type: Births Quarter: December Year: 1906 District: Penzance County: Cornwall Volume: 5c Page: 203 Sorry my knowledge of Cornwall is non existant so I have no idea if this is the correct area Linda

Carol What information have you been given already???? Victor

The Bag

The Bag Report 24 Apr 2005 22:11

carol has just messaged me to say he has tried electoral rolls but ''she isn't there''. Carol; think you need to buy some credits for 1837 on line and lookup her date of birth accurately so we have something to work with.Then send for her birth certificate and it will tell you her parents names jess

The Bag

The Bag Report 24 Apr 2005 22:08

I guess the word missing between 'she' and 'a' is MARRIED,But only guessing Jess

Victor
