Alfred Fairey goes missing

Hi Avril

If it's ok with PeteBam I will forward his emails with attachments to you.

There's something odd about Agnes Mary/ Agnes Mercia/Agnes Mercy in that Agnes Mary's birth is recorded in 1907, but her parents Joseph and Mary (Murray) also had another child in 1925, recorded as Agnes Mercy.  The marriage of 1907 Agnes with Arthur Thomas in 1939, however,  gives her name as Agnes Mercia. (LancsBMD)  I haven't been able to trace what happened to the 1925 Agnes  but there's no death recorded for her, unless she's the Agnes N Fairey who died in Surrey in MarQ 1963 age 38 (that fits).  Their mother Mary's death is recorded as Mar Q 1938 age 72.  I estimate she would have been 59 at the birth of the second Agnes, and yet the child's mmn is shown as Murray.  Could she perhaps have been an illegitimate child of one of the other children but brought up by Joseph and Mary?

Would like to hear more about the relative you mentioned - perhaps by email or Private Message.

Keep up the good work. 
Gill

That's fine by me.  Glad to have been of assistance in solving this 'cold case'.

Gill, re Agnes Mercy etc

GRO index says the 1925 entry is a late entry. It is well late!!
