William C Malpass
« on: Sunday 16 August 09 17:04 BST (UK) »

My grandmother, Annie Connah (maiden surname), Hopwood (first marriage surname) married William C Malpass in 1939.  It was her second marriage after becoming a widow a couple of years earlier (& being left with 5 children at the age of 37!). William's profession is shown as traveller on their marriage certificate & I can't find any other information regarding him.

I realise this is a very long shot at finding anything buy hey....

Help or ideas welcomed.

Many thanks - Carole

 " Traveller ", in that context and time, would mean 'Travelling Salesman'  ;)
GAITES (Alverstoke / Bath Pre 1850)
CURTIS (Portsmouth & 1800's Berkshire).
BURGE (Dorset, Somerset and Hampshire)
HUNTLEY (Dorset, Hampshire, Sussex, 'Surroundings')

Hi,
How old is William on the marriage certificate and what was his fathers name and occupation.Names of witnesses may help.There is a William Charles Malpass born 1915 mothers name Greenaway (possibly Eliza M that married a John Malpass in Stourbridge in 1914)
Sounds like your William might be older.
Best wishes
 Cathy :)

Please don t mention anyone possibly living, thanks.
