Marriage in Wakefield
« on: Sunday 06 July 08 04:05 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help me find the marriage of Basil Lockwood Abson to ?? ?? c 1943 ? He was the son of Harry Abson and Laura Lockwood of Wakefield. Basil was born 1921 and he had a sister Emily Jane b 1917 who m'd John S. Stables in 1943 in Wakefield. I'm beginning to think he didn't actually "marry" anyone,but he did have a child,and their may be a baptism that gives the mother's name.A lot of the family "events' took place in St John's or All Saints (?) church in Wakefield.Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Do you know the name of Basils child -the birth reg would give mothers maiden name - and certficate wold give mothers full name

basil's birth was reg 1922 -not 1921

here are a few regs in case you do not have them

basil L Abson appears in phone directories 1945-1963 living at 14 St Johns Ave Wakefield

a look up on electoral rolls should tell you who (age over 21) was living at that address

Abson family can be found in Normanton (just outside Wakefield) They were part of an Estate Agent's firm Abson Blaza in Normanton itself. This maybe of some use.
