Find Ancestors

Found it. It is an area code for Leigh.

On the 1939 Register there is a date added of 17/3/1882 with the letters NVQ under the names of Ernest and Emma. Any idea what this means please?

Marriage witnessed by Fanny Westwell and Wilfred Cawburn or Cowburn

Emma Westwell is in a number of GR trees..........try contacting the owners to find out if they have any useful info

Who witnessed the 1911 marriage?

Thank you all for contributing. I do appreciate it :-)

I have messaged the member that Jink20 suggested might have some info.

That would be great!

There must be a previous thread about this man. FMP shows that I have already accessed the various records on their site

:-D
Thank you didnt spot that.

1921 does NOT say he was born in Lancaster. His birthplace is recorded as GLAZEBURY in the County of Lancaster……………

Thank you

The death referred to in that Ancestry tree;

I looked at that one Kay???? but his birth should be registered Q1 if any in 1882 for a late December birth and if he was born in Lancaster, then it's the wrong RD.

The registration could have been late and he may have thought Lancaster was where he was born if he moved there at a very early age.

Or he made it all up.
