(Apology's if this post is in the wrong category)
Leonora Emma Haslop was born between July and September 1898 at Chorlton-Cum-Hardy, Manchester. Her parents were William G Haslop (1870-1950) and Amelia J Briscoe (1866-1929), she also had a younger sister Penelope. The family seemed to live at two addresses at once. Her grandfather's shop at 37-39 Upper Street, Islington and 62 Woodside Green, Middlesex. It was possible they lived at Woodside and the shop was simply the family business. (It's important to note Leonora and her parents lived at Manchester during the 1901 Census.)
In the Haslop family album there are a few photos of Leonora and the rest of her family, someone had written that she died in 1969 and married a Young so i went and looked it up and found a Leonora Young buried at the Kippen Cemetery in Scotland with a George A Young. Someone visited and took a photo of their headstone for me and it confirmed this was the correct person as she was referred to a Nora
Haslop who died February 5th 1969 and was the wife to Rev George A Haslop (Who died March 20th 1991).
Here is the complicated bit: I tried to find a Leonora or Nora or even Emma Young/Haslop married to a George Young and found a 1939 register for a Emma living with a George Young in Islington but that Emma's maiden name was Wallace
not Haslop.
I even looked manually for a marriage for a Haslop and Young in case someone had either somehow not transcribed it or it was transcribed so badly it hadn't showed up but it doesn't seem to exist neither does a census or birth record for any children nor anything in the newspapers. If anyone knew these people, has some advice or can help in any way please do because i have no idea what else to try!
