Eleanor Davison Macnay
born 1904 New Brancepeth, Durham
parents Joseph Macnay and Eleanor Wilkinson
1911 census Eleanor is living with parents and siblings
21 Eshwood Street, New Brancepeth
1930 Eleanor marries John S Storey
I'm trying to find Eleanor on 1921 census - she is not with her family
Thankyou
-
Take a look at Nellie ‘Marnay’ aged 17 in Wakefield. Check the original!
-
WOW thankyou very much
Sarah Howe (nee Macnay) is Eleanor's aunt
I think in time I would have found her when I tried to find Sarah Macnay in 1921 :)
-
and in 1939???
-
She is with her husband at 'Brancepeth', Bigby Road, Brigg, Lincolnshire.
On FindMyPast her name is transcribed as Eleana Stone. The writing on the original is awful.
-
thankyou jen - i wouldn't have found that be myself
-
final query - when did Eleanor die?

I thought the 1949 was her death entry as her husband is named Robert Alexander Storey on the probate record
Edit to add
Eleanor Davison Macnay m John Sidney Storey
Eleanor Davison Armstrong m John Langlands Storey and Robert Alexander Storey (brothers)

This isn't the right couple. Eleanor Davison Macnay was born in 1904.
Please see my reply #4 - Eleanor D. Storey born 1904 and her husband John Sidney Storey were in Brigg Lincolnshire in 1939.

His name seems to be Story on birth, marriage and death, rather than Storey.
Probate for him too, a will, might be worth getting?

Edith Danskin married James H Story in Newcastle in 1925.
1939 free index at 1 Front Street, Bells Close, Newcastle upon Tyne.
James Hedworth Story died in 1951.
I think John Sidney Story and James Hedworth Story were brothers.
We may have lost Eleanor between 1950 and 1959?

Could this be a possibility ??? Shame there's only initials and no age - perhaps the address will rule her out

Hi
I think that one is Edna Dorothy Storey, who was off to India in 1951 from same address.
-
I have to admit to being mystified with this one.
-
We all seem to be stumped, Jen.
James and Edith Story and their son Norman seem to be living with his parents in 1939.
Edith born 31 May 00
For some reason her name was altered to Storey at some point. And was that then cancelled, since it is crossed out in green ink? I can't make sense of that.
-
Hopefully durhamgirl73 will come back and tell us what she thinks of things as they now stand.

I agree with you both ???

I agree they are brothers 1911 census John Sidney & James Hedworth Story with their parents & siblings in West Denton, Northumberland

There doesn't appear to be a marriage entry for John S & Edith after the death of her husband in 1951
I've looked at FreeBMD for a death between 1950 - 1959 with just first name Eleanor & initial D in case she was using a different surname but nothing stands out :-\
There is a marriage entry 1958 Nthmbld for a E Story to T L B Carmichael :-\ but have not looked further into this couple

John Sidney Story dob 15 Aug 1903, civil servant
Departure Date 20 Jul 1959
Departure Port England
Ship Name Jutlandia
Destination Port Aden, Yemen
E Story born 31 5 1900, housewife - address 10 Denhill Park, Newcastle Upon Tyne
Looking at that outward passenger record
Country of last permanent residence (Residence for more than 12 months)
For John Sidney and Edith Story it says N. Ireland
So could Eleanor have died in Northern Ireland? And could even John have remarried to Edith there?
I can't find anything definite, but there is a short newspaper report, age is right, but maybe a coincidence? :-\
Belfast Telegraph, 2 July 1955
Suicide verdict on woman
A VERDICT of suicide by gas poisoning was returned by the Coroner, Dr. H. Baird, at an inquest in Glengormley yesterday on Mrs. Eleanor Storey (51) of Farmley Crescent, Glengormiey.
-
I’ve been looking at that Northern Ireland connection too.
The date on the alteration to Edith’s record in the 1939 register was 1956. Marriage to John? It’s marked m/c for marriage certificate?
GRONI is unavailable until tomorrow morning >:(
-
Thankyou for all your hard work :)
I was actually told a story years ago that Nelly did/tried to kill herself (gas) so the newspaper article could be related to her? I think this was because her husband died and she was heartbroken? Did John die before 1955? Was it to do with the war?
-
Did John die before 1955? Was it to do with the war?
Have you read all the replies relating to John? Reply #19 has details of him in 1959 and in the 1970’s ( with Edith)
I think we are fairly confident that John died in 1980 as per your reply #17.
-
Just for information:
Edith died on 16th May 1980 and John on the 16th August 1980.
They have identically worded entries in the Teesside Crematorium Book of Remembrance.
https://teesside.alwaysloved.xyz/book?day=16&month=may
https://teesside.alwaysloved.xyz/book?day=16&month=aug
In both cases you need to click through a couple of pages to find the entries.

There is a 75 year closure on searching online for marriage records in Northern Ireland, see 'Before You Start' here https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/services/go-groni-online
The only option is a personal search, or ordering if you know the date.
-
ok thankyou
-
Of course they could have married elsewhere than NI, but there is no sign of a marriage in the rest of the UK.
