Hi does anyone have any information on Pearl Lavinia Carr I know her date of birth through the internet google search nov 2nd 1923 and where she was born in Exmouth Devon but Does anyone have any information on her sisters, parents and aunt and uncles. My late Nanna was related to her in some way and not sure exactly how. I think Pearls mum was some relative to my nannas mum. I think Pearls mum was called lily palmer and she was a dancer.I know some part of the family were in the acting industry or dancing industry any help would be grateful. I have come to a dead end trying to find out who pearls mums parents were.

Too much of a coincidence given the registration district
Marriages March qtr1923
Mary Palmer to William G Bissett St.Thomas 5b 82

I thought her mothers name was Lilian or Lily I know there was a lily palmer from Newcastle as that's where they came from before moving down to Devon before Pearl was born but I know she was in the industry of theatre etc. Will have to dig a bit deeper on the census of the palmers that I have got possible could be daughter of Edward palmer as a mary on there on 1911 census aged 20 and also a brother Ernest which I am sure may of been in the industry too.

I had thought both were dead but whilst Googling them I came across a 2012 entry on another site that says they are both still alive.
Whilst their life history may be in the public domain - it is RC policy that the names and details of living persons should not be posted here.
My recommendation is a copy of her birth cert. Can you print off the info I have posted as I will now have to remove it
-
Yes I will do that in a moment thanks
-
I'm not sure if he was her 2nd husband but I have some of the information that I needed you can now delete the posts
thanks

Hi ! Pearl Carr is my mother's cousin, My grandmother was Elizabeth Palmer, Pearl's mother's sister. Don't think Lily was her real name. Hope that helps, sorry I don't know Lily's parents names but could possibly find out. Who are you ? Maybe we are related !

Hi well my late Nanna was a relative but I don't know as to how. Was your grandmother married to Charles Palmer in 1862 in Newcastle as this is the earliest Elizabeth Palmer we have. My Nannas mother was called Jane Lizzie Palmer born in 1877 in Sugley Northumberland she only had 2 Sisters that I know of from the census I have one called Annie and one called Josephina but think one died as a child. We could be related but this is a huge family. Any information you have would be helpful I have quite a bit but obviously cannot get the 1922 census with the fact I need for the majority of the family as no one left to ask now.

hi I am still awaiting for your reply regarding your connection with Pearl Carr as we possibly maybe related. I just need a bit of information. What was Pearls mum called do you know just to verify she is related. your inbox is full roseanglaise and I have been trying to get in touch since January
-
I may be jumping to conclusions from the original poster's username here, but are you suggesting that Pearl has her roots on Tyneside? Curious because I have Carrs ancestors too.

Hi my late nanna was from newcastle she told me that she was relsted to pearl in some way. I m sure pearls family moved to devon before pearl was born. My nanna said her mother was a palmer before marriage and so was pearls i think. Jane lizzie palmer my nannas mum was daughter of charlie palmer . If you can help in anyway that would be great my nanna was born with the young surname to william and jane lizzie young

I’ve been searching for years trying to find information on an ancestor without any luck. I’m trying to find information on a lady Mary Palmer who I thought was called Lily she was a dancer born in Newcastle. I seen an old message on here from a lady roseanglaise but had no reply since January we could be related her grandmother was Elizabeth Palmer but my great grandmother was also called this and it wasn’t her the person I'm looking for was called Mary Who married a man called William G Bissett. In Devon where she moved too. I’m trying to find out who Mary ‘s parents were and who her sister was. Im going around in circles as I have never come across a Mary Palmer in my Great Grandparent census. Any help would be appreciated.

The marriage registration is on freebmd
Marriages March qtr 1923 St.Thomas 5b 82
Bissett William G
Palmer Mary
Buy a copy of the marriage cert which will give you her age and fathers name and occupation
Look for them on the 1939 register which will give you her full birthdate. There are no births in Newcastle matching her 1896 birthyear
This is Williams birth reg
Births March qtr 1896
Bissett William George Torrington 5b 452

Probably better to just construct a post with names/dates etc about the person you are looking for, including links to any records you have, census etc without speculating anything!

Probably relevant stuff there......

The 1923 marriage info was given by me on that post 6 yrs ago ::)
I will ask the moderator to merge the posts to avoid further duplication
Geordie - your best way forward is as I outlined above. Buy a copy of the marriage cert as the info on the 1939 register does not support a birth in Newcastle See further info below
There were 3 births to the 1923 marriage between 1925-1935 which can be found on freebmd
William died 1946 Devon
Did Mary re- marry 1947 to Frederick G Bartlett? She died as Mary Ann D Bartlett in 1994 - same birthdate as the 1939 entry
Births September qtr 1896
Palmer Mary Ann D St. Thomas 5b 36
So where did Newcastle come from?
Per GRO online she was Mary Ann Daisy Palmer mmn Blackler
There is an 1890 marriage on freebmd - Frank Palmer with a LILY Harriet M Blackler on the same page but there are other Palmer/Blackler marriages
Suggest you check the 1901 and 1911 censuses or buy a copy of her birth cert

There is a 1901 entry b Exmouth parents James & Annie and that entry is in the St Thomas RD
1878 marriage on freebmd James Palmer/Annie Blackler St Thomas RD
