London and Middlesex / Re: Swann in Willesden

Hi

Thanks for the birth & marriage.  I had seen the Swann/Watkins marriage but it is after Majorie's birth - although of course she may have lied about her age when she married!

Unfortunately Carol I have no idea if she remained a Walsh or indeed got married again.  She seems to have disappeared from our late grandfather's life in the 1930's and never spoken of again - so we don't know what happened to her.

The two witnesses were A W Vincent & ? W Bone -  looks like J W Bone. 

Thank you
M

London and Middlesex / Swann in Willesden

Hi

I am searching for a Majorie Edith Swann married in 1938 to a James Walsh.

She is 25 years old and a spinster at time of marriage  - born about 1913 - but don't know where. 

She has no occupation at time of marriage.

Her father is named James Arthur Swann but no occupation is listed for him either.

She is living in Willesden in 1938 but that is absolutely all the information I have at present.

Found a couple of Swann families in Willesden in 1901/1911 but Majorie is not listed as they are too early.  If anyone has got any info, would love to hear from you.

Thanks

Found 2 "Driver" matches in the Halton-Peel Cemetary Records but don't understand what they mean.  Doesn't say whether these are people with the surname driver of just have the word driver in the title somewhere.

This is what is says

Brampton Public - Lot 6 A&C Plan BR13 Conc1E Chinguacousy

and Laurel Hill Bolton Lot 10 E 1/2 Conc 6 Albion

Can anyone decipher this for me?

Hi RK

Fantastic - thank you very much - looks like I will be busy tomorrow!

Family are Winifred Driver (although sometimes used her maiden name of O'Brien) born 1916 in England and died sometime after 1986 but more likely to be early 1990's in Oakville and her husband Gerald Driver born 1920 England and died 1997 in Oakville, Canada.

I have posted about this couple before, but didn't know where they had died until recently, so thanks to everyone who has helped so far.

Does anyone know where I could search for death/cemetary records for Oakville, Ontario 1990-2000.

Contacted official website where they could search records and tell me if my releatives died there or not (which I already know they did) but cannot help me with death certificates unless I have a date - which is the crucial bit I am missing - not even sure of the correct year, at the present time.

So not getting very far at the moment, any help appreciated.

Thanks

Martha
