Lancashire Lookup Requests / Re: Lookup request - marriage in West Derby

Yes, I do have it   :)  May's father's name was John Lewis.  His occupation was Journeyman Tailor.  May was a spinster.  I don't have the certificate to hand at the moment and, for some strange reason, haven't added the witnesses to my Family Tree Maker details   ::)  I can't recall who they were, either.  I don't think they were relatives......well, not obvious ones, anyway.

If it helps, Lewis Waring Robbins' father's name was Frank Robbins from Cirencester, Gloucestershire.  He was married to Beatrice Katherine Waring.

Suz, thank you so much for trying to help me.  I really appreciate it   :)  I'm going to put all I know in one post for you   :)

May was born on 7th May 1892.  She married Lewis Waring Robbins on 08 Nov 1924 in Blackpool, Lancashire.  She died in the first quarter of 1983 in Kirkham, Lancashire, making her 90 years old.

I believe she had a brother called Sydney, who was born c1897 and died 26 October 1917 in Flanders, France.  I have his  Dead Man's Penny from the war and the details of his death are on the CWGC website.  Now, here's a thing.....

On the CWGC website, it says that Sydney is the son of Mrs Rachael Lewis of 6 Fleet Street, Blackpool.  However, because I couldn't find a marriage that 'fit' that spelling of Rachael I was thinking maybe it was a spelling mistake.  The Rachael you found is a possibility but there's no mention of May or Sydney.  Also, I can't find anything that 'fits' in the 1911 census.  It's so frustrating.  I feel like I'm so close but so far away!!

Does any of this help at all?  I know sometimes different people see different things.  There's probably something glaringly obvious that I've missed!!

Thank you mshrmh.  I'll look into that.

Suz, her birth was registered in the name of Lewis but there's a clear possibility that she was born out of wedlock.  It appears she may have lied when she got married because her age on it makes her birth 1894.  This also ties in with the fact that my mother always said that my Nana was 88 when she died but it looks like she was actually 90!!  I'm so desperate to get more information on this part of my tree, as all the rest of it is pretty full. 

Thank you so much for your help everyone   :)

Yes, I already knew that but thanks anyway   :)

My Nana (May Lewis) was born May 1892.  Her birth is on Ancestry but not on LancsBMD.  I wish I was rich.....the cost of ordering certificates soon mounts up   :o

Do you know which Registry Office I should apply to, to get a copy of her birth certificate?  It's just down as West Derby.  Thanks   :)

Thank you so much for that, Mo.  Why didn't I think to look there?  Doh!!  Now I just need to get a copy of my Nana's birth certificate and see if her mother's maiden name was Hindley   :)

There is a marriage listed for John Lewis in the third quarter of 1893.  The volume and page number is 8b 961.  There are two female names on the page; Rachel Hindley and Margaret Ann Young.  Does anyone know which lady John Lewis married, please?  Thank you.

Hi Diana

My Cavill's are from Sheffield, South Yorkshire and Norton Lees, Derbyshire.  Is this any good to you?

I'm searching for information on Ethel M Smith, who was in the orphanage in 1911.  She was born in 1898.  Does anyone have any information on her at all, please?  I know I could go to Hull to find out for myself but it's a long way away for me and I simply don't have the time to get there.  I'd be very appreciative of any information.  Thank you.
