[Laurieh]

Hi,
  I'm looking for information on my grandmother Dora Mary Barratt-Rush. She married my grandfather Edward Hadley on the 11/11/1911 at Christ church in Luton Kent. She went to Canada in 1912 arriving in Quebec on the 3/7/1912. She had with her two children Edward and James. Returning to Chatham in Kent on the 25/6/1919 with out young Edward, why he was not with her we don't know. she had  James (7) George (5) Tommie (4) and Dora (11 months).  My  Dad Cyril Hadley was born in November 1919. just a few months after she got back to Chatham. She died in 1929 in Chatham. I am looking for her Mother and father, Grandfather and grandmother. Can anyone help me with this please. Thank you if you can help me. Laurie.

I can see this on FreeBMD..

Birth

If you order this birth certificate it will give information on her parents

Cheers

Hi Karenlee,
     Thank you, I'll go to Free BMD and get a copy of her birth certificate. I have her marrage certificate but all I got from that was her fathers name, Arthur Rush. And trying to find him is not easy.. Thank you Karenlee for your help and all the best for Christmas. Laurie.

At her wedding, Dora is known as Mary D B Rush.

But I can't find either her or Edward on the 1911 census!
I had assumed that they were in the Gillingham/Rochester area, as they got married there in November 1911.

No trace in 1901, either?!

Do you have any information on Edward? Date and place of birth perhaps?

[Laurieh]

Hi,
  Dora was Mary D B Rush she used her second name as her first name.  Edward was born in Dudley in 1884, his father's name was Edward Hadley to. Edward served with the South Borderers (24 foot) in England from 1902 until 1912, then he went to Canada and then served with Canadian Army in the CAF from 1914 through to the end of WW1 1918. We are also trying to trace what he did from then on.

Hi,
On the passenger list of 1912  Dora M Hadley's age is 32, Edward's 8 and James 6. Seems Dora born circa 1880.

I can t find Dora in censuses either or a death n 1929.

Cathy

added  it definately says 32 on the image but maybe she gave wrong age, the 1891 record for Dora M B Rush sounds good.
Did the marriage certificate give any helpful addresses?

[KGarrad]

I found Edward on the 1911 census.

Can't say too much (due to copyright) except that he is married?!
1911 census took place on 2nd April 1911

Hi Cathy,
   We found Dora there to. That is when she went back to Chatham. My dad Cyril Hadley was born in Chatham November 1919. Dad was 9 when she died so that would be 1928. She had two children with her when she went over to Canada and four when she came back to England. Her eldest Edward did not come back with her. What happened to him we don't know. He could have died in Canada. Dora 11 months old was my auntie Dora. Thank you for helping me Cathy. All the best Laurie.
PS; Was that an English cenus or a Canadian cenus for 1911 Cathy? I think they were still in England then. Laurie

No Cathy, there was no addresses at all on the Marrage certificate. Laurie
