MacBillin

[King Soloman]

I am looking for Irene Isabel MacBillin, George MacBillin and any other family. I am trying to find out where and when she was born, where she grew up, what school she went to? Anything?
 
She was married on the 7th June 1919 at The Parish church in the Parish of Denton in the county of sussex to Arthur Henry Moore (Age 23, Bachelor, Occupation Fireman (Railway)
The marriage certificate says she was age 25, spinster, No profession, Residence at time of marriage Denton, Father's name George MacBillin Deceased Occupation Electrician.

I do not have any information about her mother.
 
Irene and Arthur had six children - Marjorie, Leslie, Allan, Reginald (1922 - 2005), Rachel and Ron Moore.
 
She lived in Stafford Road, Caterham, Surrey until her death.
She died on the 14th Aug 1944 and is buried at St Mary's Church in Caterham, Surrey, England. The grave stone said she died aged 50yrs.

I have searched on ancestry.com and checked the census but I can't find the name anywhere other than on the marriage certificate and the grave stone. Please help?

Hi Nikki and welcome to RootsChat

Hi All

MacBilli/en is such an unusual surname  All the children's births are showing in Newhaven with mother given as MacBille/in.

Getting no hits in Scotland, Irish 1911 census or elsewhere with the surname as it stands either.

The only one I'm sure about is Reggie Arthur Moore 25 th Jan 1922 - 22 sept 2005 as he was my grandad.

Reggie Arthur Moore was born in Newhaven Sussex

My mum said she thinks someone in the family thought Irene Isabel may have been adopted. I'm not sure where to go looking for that.

Just in case any of them are still living, I have sent you a PM (personal message) with the details of all the children's births

Look at the top of the page for incoming messages

Irene Isabel may have been adopted

As no-one can find any MacBillins apart from her that could be academic at the moment
