Hello everyone
trying to track down a marriage between a Francis Bentley and a Margaret or (Mary as she was known) in the Middlesbrough area. I dont have much to go on hence the ? I have tried searching on Ancestry. Their son Henry was born in 1933 and on his marriage certificate it states Francis was a merchant seaman but I cant find anything on him neither, Francis was deceased at the time of sons marriage thats all ive got.
Thanks Kim

Buy the 1933birth certificate. Is the 1933 child redacted in 1939?
-
Is the son born 1933 still alive, if so, his name should not be mentioned, due to rootschat policy of not naming living people.
If you use FreeBMD you should be able to see the maiden name of the son's mother.
-
Is Henry the same Henry Bentley whose birth was recorded in Middlesbrough RD in June quarter 1933? If so then mother's maiden name is given as Jones.
-
Free BMD shows an Ethel Ann Bentley b 1921 with mother's maiden name Jones in Middlesbrough. Marriage might be around 1920.
-
I think Francis / Frank Bentley might have had a sister also called Ethel, who married Edgar Hopkinson Schofield. If so their father was Charles Bentley
-
Believe son died 2002 Bradford with dob 2.3.1933.

Good find!

There's a probate of a Francis Bentley who died on 13 June 1934, residence 64 St Pauls Road, Middlesbrough, to Margaret Bentley widow
-
Francis does seem to be quite bit older than Margaret. Maybe they never married because he was already married.
-
LizzieL, just working on Francis but still putting together details but so far,
1901 census ref 4574 34 6. Look closely at his birthplace, it matches that of his brother Frank who appears with Ethel Ann in 1921.
Parents John C Bentley & Ann

I got the father's name of Charles from a newspaper report of Ethel Bentley / Shields to Edgar H Schofield in 1911, but could be actually John Charles. Ethel is 4th daughter. In 1891 Francis is 16 and crew on a ship somewhere.
-
Pretty sure that Francis is recorded as Frank in 1881 census (4798 34 6 ). MMN Thompson as per siblings.
