Title: Margaret Ogle Burn White
Post by: snowyjo on Sunday 22 May 11 15:48 BST (UK)

Hi,

I wonder if any of you good people out there can help me. I am researching a friends family tree. His mother was Margaret Ogle Burn White and she married Nicholas Garlick at Dob Lane Chapel, Failswoth, Ashton under Lyne, on 23rd January 1937. Her father was Thomas White. The marriage certificate states she was 40 which puts her being born about 1897. Her son was always told that she was born Durham/Gateshead area. He wishes he'd have asked more questions.

He knows her mother died and she had a step mother who she didn't get on with so she went into nursing as soon as she was old enough which ties in with the marriage certificate as she was a staff nurse.

I can only find a Margaret C White on the 1901 census age 5. when I enlarge the census, it looks more like Margaret O White living with Grandparents, born Durham Sunderland. I cannot find a birth and therefore parents. ???

Kind regards

Joan

Hi again

Had a look at the new wife of Thomas after Jane died.
I found her living with her parents Thomas and Margaret Milburn
on a farm. I also found Jane Philipson aged 15 yrs living next door
to a family of Milburns Thomas and Margaret as a servant
on a farm.  Dinah is not there as it would seem, if I have the
correct Dinah, that she was about 10 years older than Jane
and 7 over Thomas.
So my presumption is thats why she married Thomas, maybe Dinah
and Jane were friends??

regards
Sandymc
