Ada F Bryant and Vernon Cecil Carroll

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Kathryn Report 5 Aug 2012 17:55

Hello. Am looking for some help researching the above please.

Ada F Bryantt born 1901 in Cork, I know who her parents were.
Ada marries Vernon Cecil Carroll in Paddington, London in 1931. I think I've found a death for Vernon, 1995 in Hampshire, not 100% sure its him though. I cannot find a death for Ada. I believe most of their married life they lived in Ruislip though. Also I wonder if anyone could find a child from their marriage please. I have been informed that they had a son who was an airline pilot. I have no idea either who Vernon's parents were and if he had any other siblings. I work during the week so not at my computer until the evening time albeit I am around on and off this evening.

Kind regards

Kathryn

Kathryn - could you tell us who Ada Francis' parents were? If we can find her birth date it might help when searching for a death.

Kathryn Report 5 Aug 2012 18:40

Hi all, my you have been busy, I've only been away from my comp for a while. Thank you all so much.

Ada,( I never knew what the F stood for before) her parents were George Richard Bryant born in Kent but went to Ireland and married Ada's mum Helena Ellen Bryant in 1908 in Cork. I have the births of Ada's siblings but not hers only that she was born in 1909. I do know she was born in Cork though. I've never had much luck searching in Ireland, so many people have helped me though, bless. I'm sure before I was notified by email if I had a message, good job I came and checked just now.

Kind regards

Hi again, just thought I'd mention that Ada had a twin, Kathleen, who died not long after she was born ie a matter of days or so.

Kind regards

Kathryn - did you know Ada also had a little brother?

1911 Irish census:

Residents of a house 6 in Suttons Buildings (Cork No. 4 Urban (part of), Cork)

Surname Forename Age Sex Relation to head Religion Birthplace Occupation Literacy Irish Language Marital Status Specified Illnesses Years Married Children Born Children Living
Bryant George 24 Male Head of Family R Catholic Chaltam Bank Porter Read and write English Married - - - -
Bryant Helena 26 Female Wife R Catholic Co Cork - Read and write English Married - 4 2 2
Bryant Ada 2 Female Daughter R Catholic Cork City - Cannot read - Single - - - -
Bryant James Male Son R Catholic Cork City - Cannot read - Single -

Link http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1911/Cork/Cork_No__4_Urban__part_of_/Suttons_Buildings/389246/

The 4 2 2 on the line for Helena means married 4 years, 2 children born alive and still living. If Ada's twin was stillborn then I guess she may not have been counted, although you do say she lived a few days.

Hiya Marie, sorry, only just come back to the computer, and as above, I am not being notified by email that there are messages. Yes you've found Ada, that is of course a mis-spell of her name, I know she was born in 1909. Thank you so much for the information. I suppose we will not know her actual birth date so as to find out her death? Am off to bed shortly as I have to be up really early for work but I will check on GR tomorrow evening when I get home. Thanks once again for your time and help it is much appreciated.

Kind regards

Unfortunately it looks as though Brian:

died in 2004 in Surrey. 192 shows he was living in Farnham then.
