Thread: RANDS marriages

Hi
Hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction.
I have a Louisa RANDS born 3 Mar 1881 in Grimsby. She married John George TURNER born 1876 in Scarborough died at sea 21 Oct 1917 (confirmed) I believe they had 5 children but no dates yet. She then married Frederick Barney OSBORNE born 1878 Loddon Norfolk early 1920 all unconfirmed. Family gossip says that he was a bigamist but after the birth of 2 daughters Louisa in 1920 and Gladys 1922 (confirmed) the trail goes stone cold. Louisa then married a Scot Tom RODGER with some connection with a big train crash and finally married Thomas MATTHEWS. I have no idea of dates, other children etc. Would the bigamous marriage have any bearing on future marriages?

Sorry if it is a big ask so early in my membership but any help would be much appreciated Our local library hasn't broken down any of these walls

Regards

Dave

Hi Dave and welcome to the forums.

Your request certainly isn't a big ask, we will do all we can to help.

As a start here's a marriage..............

Louisa Turner to Frederick Osborne, Jan-Mar qrt 1920 Grimsby, vol 7a, page 1293

Here's a possible further child......

Mary L Turner, Apr-Jun 1912, Grimsby, mother's maiden name Rands, 7a/1288

Way past my bedtime. I'm sure someone else will try to help, I'll take a look tomorrow to see what progress has been made.

Thanks Noggin does indeed sound right as we know Louisa wasnt married to Thomas long and she herself died in 1958

Thanks Slizzy something concrete to work from The only children the family have mentioned are Alice who died young ( this came from Gladys 2nd daughter of the Turner-Osborne marriage who said she remembered seeing her laid out) and David who lived in Grimsby at some point. Many thanks

Thanks for the offer Rubina
