Hi all i have been trying to find the marriage record for my great aunty ruby alderton .
she was born in 1900 in fulham londen and later lived in walton on the thames .
   she died in 1929 on the 10 september in epsom .she had been admkited to the middle house in surrey at time off death .anyhow the story goes she married a jack mcconnell and they had a daughter togather called patricia mr mcconnell .when ruby died her daughter was looked after bye my great nann rose gudge for 2 years ,and then the father showed up one day and took patricia and they never heard or saw from her ever again so thats a mystery .but what confuses me is i cant find any record of ruby marrying jack ,but they must off done at some point because rubys surname when she dies is mcconnell and patricias birth record ive found and states her mothers maiden name is alderton .pat was born 1925 in fulham londen .

Hi,

My gt.grandma and gt. grandpa never married but all their children's birth certificates show her "maiden" name; she buried her "husband" as his "widow" aand went to her own grave as "Mrs".  It could be that Ruby just took the name McConnell.

Hi,

my sister has just come across your post from 2 years ago. We are the children of Patricia Moxham Rose Alderton. We too cannot find any marriage certificate for Ruby and Jack (John?) McConnell.
We only found Ruby's grave in Cobham Cemetery a couple of years ago.

We have been searching for years for any family connections, so please get in touch soon and we can share what we know.

kind regards

John Dillon

Hi John

I've sent her a personal message, she's not been online for a while and may have missed her notifications.

Thankyou for the responses.

We may be one step nearer to finding out some more of our grandmother's and mother's history.

In my excitement of finding a connection I put our mother's last name down as Alderton, in fact on her birth certificate it was Patricia Moxham Rose McConnell.

hoping we hear soon

kindest regards
John
