Bedilla Barrett

[miabar]

Can someone please look up the death of Bedilla Barrett?

In the 1901 census, Islington, London
She was listed as being 35 years old, born in Ed. Scotland
She was married to John Barrett
Children: Nellie aged 13 and William aged 2

I know John Barrett remarried in 1908 to Nellie Vine
On the 1911 Census Nellie (Bedillas daughter is married and at a diff address)
William is residing with his father, new wife and their children

Bedilla seems to have disappeared. I cant find her anything about her after the 1901 census.

Also my grandfather was John and Nellies youngest son and he never mentioned a brother (step brother) named William. I am trying to find out when he died. I have a photo of the children taken in 1910 and William is not in it.

Hi


Have you checked the Scottish civil registration for her death as well as the English and Welsh? Did John remarry as a widower?

And her real name was Bridget ? http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,471442.msg3313927.html#msg3313927

Good morning,

this is a bit of a long shot- there is this death:

March quarter 1906

Delilah Barrett 41yrs   Islington  1b 117  

I can't see a Delilah in the censuses and she is about the right age.

best wishes

While it seems unlikely that John would marry a Bridget- then a Bedilla (Bedelia?), there is quite a gap in the children's births.
1891 has Nellie 3 yrs and George 11 months
1901 Nellie 13 yrs and William 2 yrs
There may of course have been births and deaths in the interim.

After seeing several Bridget/Bedelia as interchangeable, it is only now that it has dawned on me where the name Delia comes from as a name for Bridget  I know 2 Delias whose real name is Bridget but I didn't know why!

Her name wasnt Bridget..She isnt the Bridget Barrett that was suggested in another post about the Barrett-Vine family.

'My" John Barrett didnt marry Bridget McAuley and his parents were not John and Helen nee Brown. My Johns parents were Alfred and Mary

Ah I see. What was her name on the marriage certificate? Was it Bedilla?

[miabar]

I dont have the marriage certificate. I have no idea when or where they married (I presume Scotland) but thats just a guess as the first child was born there.

Do you have birth certificates for any of the children of John and Bedilla ?
