This is a shame to hear Campbell may have passed away as my father has tried to get in contact from an old address we found

I believe:

Olive married Sidney Yates in 1940
Grace married Ernest ??
Alfred married Mary ??

but am not 100% sure. Would love to be able to find anything about these three/if they had children

Alfred quite possible immigrated to Australia
Title: Re: Hackett Immigration
Post by: mckha489 on Tuesday 25 March 25 19:03 GMT (UK)
Olive. Going by her birth date on 1939 register, this is her death

Deaths 1985   (>99%)
YATES    OLIVE JESSICA    10JE1908    NOTTINGHAM    8   959

Any children might be alive so we cannot name here.
However you can look at the possibles yourself using FreeBMD.org.uk
Title: Re: Hackett Immigration
Post by: mckha489 on Tuesday 25 March 25 19:32 GMT (UK)
Could this be Grace?  You would need certs or newspaper mentions to confirm.

Marriages Mar 1940   (>99%)
Blount    Richard H    Hackett    Ilkeston    7b   1820    
Hackett    Grace M    Blount    Ilkeston    7b   1820

Followed by

Marriages Dec 1954   (>99%)
Blount    Grace M    Wengoborski    Spilsby    3b   965    
WENGOBORSKI    Ernst    BLOUNT    Spilsby    3b   965

There is a Basford death of a Richard H. Blount in 1946. But he is 72 so a lot older than Grace if it is the same man.


Trying to work out what Wengoborski might be anglicised as. She is NOT the Grace Mary Wooster death in Spilsby in 1976 that woman can be seen on the 1939 register already married to Mr Wooster.

There is no Alfred Hackett with the family in 1921, other than George Alfred.
You aren’t mixing the two up are you?

Especially as it looks as though George Alfred may have married a Mary (see earlier post by cupoflife).

I believe he was quite a bit younger, my grandfather remembered him as quite a quiet man but that was the only information I knew
Title: Re: Hackett Immigration
Post by: mckha489 on Tuesday 25 March 25 20:11 GMT (UK)
In 1921 Sarah Ann was already 47
However, there is a redacted (blacked out) person on the 1939 register

So that person would have been born after 1924 when she was 50.
Might  one of the girls have had a child brought up by its grandparents?
