Thread: marriage lookup please

Hi could someone please do a look up for me please, it is between a margaret thompson and a george preston , in the egremont , whitehaven, cumbria area , somewhere between 1900 and 1921, as 1921 is when there daughter was born her name was mary w preston reg jun qtr 1921, in whitehaven, although her birth was 30th march 1921, alledgedly she was one of a twin, but the twin died. I know very little about this family as facts have been long forgotten, by my family, although the 'w' in mary prestons name stood for winnerah, after the maternal grandmothers surname.



i would be really grateful if someone could help please.





regards nikki

Hi Nikki,



If Mary did have a twin, I think it must have been still-born. There is no other birth or death registration that fits in.

Hi Nikki,



Sorry, I haven't had any luck with the marriage. Have you got Mary's birth certificate as this might give a clue as to whether Margaret had been previously miarried.

hi thanks for looking for me , i don't have marys' birth certificate to hand but she is my husbands grandmother and still alive, and she has said her parents were not married before , and that every generation was from egremont. I have looked everywhere for all possibilities, but to no avail. i have asked all the usual questions .
