Help Requested - Bessie Alberta WOLFE
« on: Monday 23 January 06 01:12 GMT (UK) »
Would appreciate some help in finding information on an ancestor Bessie Alberta WOLFE. I know that she was married in the 2nd quarter of 1912 at Easthampstead to Henry Morgan Stembridge who was born about 1883 in Bournemouth.  I think her marriage certificate lists her name as WOOFF - but it is not clear.
I think they had 3 children, Betha, Ruby and Basil - all cousins of my late father. I think Betha was born in 1913. 
I've tried unsuccessfully to find a birth record for Bessie searching under the names of Wolfe and Wooff and other similar names.  Bessie looked after my father during his formative years and had a house in London I believe.
Many thanks,
DAY

Thanks Frances - you're a star!  I wonder when Wooff became Wolfe. It's driving me barking mad!

Thanks Alli. That information is very interesting. Makes me wonder what kind of life she led from her teenage years through to her thirties. I guess a parlour maid was a fairly lowly occupation (recollections from the Upstairs,Downstairs TV series of some years ago.)
I appreciate your efforts in my behalf.
Cheers,
DAY  :)
