Hi
Do you have Mabels birth cert...this will confirm her mothers maiden name plus her fathers name..
Jane ;)

her Husband Albert page before he married her .i dont know what her second name was before she married
look up Albert and mabel's marriage in the full GRO index (library or subscription site) . That will give her maiden name.
You've had more than enough past guidance for me to have to tell you how to do that.
coalville doesn't exist as a reg. district prior to 1949

You won't find her birth under Mabel Page- if her husband was called Albert Page. You will need their marriage cert to find her maiden name.
If you already know it you can look yourself(That's half the fun of genealogy ;D) on http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ which goes up to about 1920 now.

:) :)Hi pauline
thanks
Danone

If she is your aunt - she would have the same name as (a) your mother's maiden name or (b) your father's surname.

:) :)Hi sisterjane
she was born 2oth dec 1913 just after my grandma she was born Eleventh dec 1913 in whitwick mabel was born in coalville leicester
Danone
That was a short pregnancy :o just 9 days?
You can't possibly have two babies born that close together in the same year?
Carol
-
No Carol - she was her aunt - therefore a sibling of a parent and a therefore a child of her grandmothers! So we are looking at becoming a mother at 9 days old .
I've heard of a nine days wonder.....
Danone - any hope you can clarify?
-
Oh dear I've lost the plot......don't you dare Elizabeth :P
Talking of people getting their k in a t ;)
So we're looking for someone who had a baby at 9 days old.........not two babies 9 days apart?
I think Danone needs to think this one through and maybe read his postings before he commits.

Hi all
Last night when I posted on this thread Id been watching footy and had partaken of a few sherries!!!!!Now when I read Danones post and tried to work out the "9 day pregnancy" I thought maybe it was the sherry ;D addling my brain si I decided to leave it until today.. ;D ;D
Im sure Danone will clarify when he comes on..

This is a bit weird - I know an old lady of this name who is in her 90s - if you can give me any more details, I'll check it through with her when I next see her (which won't be before Sunday!)

jan my grandma was vera elizabeth page from belvoir rd coalville .albert was her brother
what i was after was her second name before she marreid albert. we used to live in breach rd a long time ago now we used to look after her dog when we were kids . i know she lived in the old peoples home across from my old school

:) :)Hi carol mabel was my grandmas sister-in law i didnt say she was her sister .i said her birthdate was after my grandma
Danone

She was your great aunt, then Danone.
that is what had us flummoxed - you said she was your aunt i.e a sibling of a parent and therefore child of your grandparent.
But as has been said before on this thread - you need to look for the marriage of Albert Page.
OR - if you know if she had children, you could get one of their birth certs to find her maiden name.
What is puzzling me is how you have got an exact date and place for her birth.
I can only assume from a death certificate.
In which case it would be worth mentioning, as Jan's friend therefore could not be her.

There are 17 girls called Mabel born in Leicestershire in dec 1913.
Because her birthday was late in the month we also ought to allow for those registered in March 1914 too,as parents had up to 6 weeks to register a birth!
And 21 of them registered in Mar 1914.
Take your pick.......you can EASILY do this yourself Danone by clicking on to this Free BMD link http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ which we have suggested to you before.
Did she have children? If so when?

:) :)Hi carol
thanks for helping me out

Hi Danone
Just a suggestion.....
Have a look for a marriage in the first quarter of 1939 in Ashby de la Zouch.
You should find an Albert A Page marrying Mabel ......
If you then check in the first quarter of 1914 you should find that particular Mabel’s birth registration and her mothers maiden name. She is on the list of 21 which Carol mentioned earlier.
If you think that Albert might have had a middle name and that this Mabel might be the correct bride, when you have worked it out, will you please let us all know what her name was (unless the lady is still alive).

Hello again Danone
When you have completed the above exercise, if you use that information and then look in the marriages index for 1909 you should find the marriage of Mabel’s parents.
You should also be able to find, in the birth indexes, some (probable) sisters.
Good luck with it.
DS
ps If you really try but still cannot find them, I am sure that someone will tell you all of the names ;D

It's the SEPT 1/4 actually DS 8)
But it doesn't help Danone because I don't think he has access to the full indexes(or anything else come to that) so let's tell him..............her surname was WESTON
Now try the births as DS and I have suggested,and tell us what you find.
We'll give you marks out of ten later...........oooh I feel like Sharon Osborne :o
Would like her money,but she can keep her hubby!!!

Hi Carol
Thanks .....here comes the excuse....
I did not want to make the exercise too easy.....or, as unlikely as it may seem ;D I could have just made a(nother) c... up.
As Pauline has pointed out previously, access to almost everything that we pay for, to see in the comfort of our own homes, is available to almost everyone, free of charge at the local library.
I can hardly wait now to hear what Mabel‘s parents and siblings were called :o I bet everyone else is on the edge of their seats as well (with score cards ready) ;D
Cheers
DS ;)

We are!! Come on Danone! (and there is no cheating - cos one has an unusual name so no-one can try just guessing the standard Thomas, James or Sarah's!

:) :)Hi liz i had it from a story about when she could remeber what her town used to look like and she gave dates when she was born and when she married .she married in 1939 to albert page during the second world war it seems like there was some sort of argument in the family and they all fell out with each other .i contacted my grandmas other sister janet this morning and she told me about it that they were forced to stop seeing each other which as left things to late now .my grandmother died and my grandad so i cant ask them.

:) :)Hi liz

So, Danone, did you find Mabel's birth, plus that of her siblings?
-
HI Danone
I spoke to "my" Mabel this afternoon and it seems she is "the one" you're looking for! ;D ;D
She confirmed that Vera was Albert's sister and that her maiden name was WESTON.
Mabel, after Albert's death, moved to a bungalow on St Mary's Avenue and then later into St Mary's Court (not Fairfield Court, which is the old people's flats on Ashburton Rd, opposite the school.)
Mabel was thrilled to bits to think someone was looking for her and can't wait to know more details! If you would like to send me further details in a pm about yourself and your family, if you don't want to place personal details on here, I will pass them on. Perhaps you and Mabel may then want to meet up.
Hope to hear from you soon! :D ;D :D

Hi,
I hope you don't mind me e-mailing you, but I was hoping that you may be able to help my gran!
My gran, Gladys Hill nee Sparham, married Roland Hill in 1936, and I think her bridesmaid Mable Page (then Weston) may be your aunt. Gran met Mable when they both worked at the elastic factory, and Gran would take her lunch back to Mabel's house, where Mabel's mum would give them both a cup of tea!
Gran had kept in contact with Mabel over the years, mainly through Christmas cards, and also the occasional phone call, but has not heard from her for a couple of years or so.
A Google search for 'Mabel Page' led me to this website, and when I read out the details I found in the varios posts, Gran was sure they refered to 'her' Mabel.
Gran is sad that after all these years of staying in touch, she doesn't know what has happened to her (although of course she fears that she has passed away). I realise that the posts were made in 2008, but I wonder if you would be prepared to tell us what the situation is with your aunt?
Thank you very much,
Nicky
