Hi, I'm looking for Constance Tillyard, born in Cambridge 1924, but possibly at school and living in or around Cardiff as a teenager? Any help welcome, Thanks!
-
Have you tried the 1939 register. Did she marry, if so what was her married surname
-
Thanks, actually I made a mistake in my post: she married in Cambridge in 1950, rather than being born there. I can't find any birth record and would like to know who her parents were. She had an aunt in Cambridge who have two brothers, but I can't link them to her or work out the family connection.
-
marriage notice from 1950 gives her parents as Prof. and Mrs H J W Tillyard of Cambridge, she is Constance Emma.

1922 registered London City December quarter vol 1c page 18 -Constance L Tilyard mother's maiden name Harrison
NOT this one she is the daughter of George and Ann.
She died unmarried

Thank you Osprey! I am still puzzled about the lack of a birth record, but the full marriage record establishes her parents and that Aelfrida Tillyard was indeed her aunt. I wonder if she was born outside the UK? I know she had some sort of connection to Germany. I don't have any subscriptions at present, but the 1939 Register should confirm her place of birth.
Thanks Amondg - Constance L was a different person.

As well as missing a birth record for Constance, I don't see one for a marriage or the birth of Conrad W. b. 1922 either?
Henry Julius was interned at Ruhleben in Germany from 1914-1915, quite possibly he married Wilhemine and his children were born overseas.
You replied while I was typing and confirmed the marriage - thanks!
I had initially confused him with another Henry J who married Daisy Day (lovely name!) in Lambeth about the same time.

Hi Osprey
That goes a long way to explaining why and where they might be at these times, including the trip to South Africa in 1949. This is so much easier than the the ag. labs. in my direct family who didn't leave this sort of detail!
-
Thank you both very much, Nick
