Yes thank you very much

the best move you can make is to get a copy of Margery's death cert.

as she only had the one child as far as can be found, the odds are that she was the one to register the death

You would find out what her surname was at the time, which would at least give you something concrete to work from

I think I have picked up that her daughter's name is Patricia A Maynard born in 1948 in Surrey I need to build on that, trying to buy credits on here but it dosnt seem to be working properly.
Thanks for you help

Sorry Carole, it isn't going to be easy, there are 2 births for the same name in Surrey 1948, and both appear to have married in Surrey in 1960. One married Burgess, the other married Batt.

Without getting the marriage certificates and confirming father's name and her age it would be virtually impossible to know which one to look for I'm afraid.

Im trying to find Margery's family she was my Dad's sister who he never saw again after he was 16. It was a long shot I know to find her still alive but I would still like to find her family.

Any help is much appreciated.

What are you trying to achieve? If you give us some idea, we may be able to advise you about how to proceed

Thank you once again Ive found her. Let's hope I can now commence forward !

Don't worry, take it slowly. It's all confusing at first

Go to

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/search

Select births

Put in Maynard and Seldon in the appropriate boxes

Click on find, and you will get the child's birth registration details.

Also, take note from what I added above that Alan married again twice after the marriage to Margery

The second marriage is on freebmd, but the third one is too recent for that site

Thank you for your help, Im very new to all this, I do appreciate all your help Im obviously looking at all the wrong things ?

how can you have found them in the 2000's?

Margery died in 1992, and alan died in 1995,

I gave you their deaths on 25th July

Please do take the time to read carefully all of the info you are given, as it will help you

Look on freebmd for Maynard children with MMN Seldon during the time of their marriage, which wasn't very long

there was one child, which I told you about some days ago


Or get a copy of Margery's death cert, to find out who the informant was

Thank you all, Im not very good at all this Im afraid !
My enquiries take me down the Brown route not finding anything on Maynard to speak of.
Ive found Margery & Alan living in Bolton in the early 2000's

I don't know how to find their children if any ? please bear with me on this.

Thank you again
Carole

Margery's birth was registered in 1922, not in 1920

It was the groom who had alternative surnames

Click on the info button on freebmd as advised on there


A daughter's birth is on freebmd with surname Maynard, so that's obviously the one by which the couple were known after the marriage

Look for it......


Any further feedback, please post here

Without some names it's only supposition that we can make

She may have lived with someone and been known by their name

Alternatively she may have been born in one surname but her mum married after she was born so she took on the new hubby's surname

The cert should explain
