Hi,

Can anyone find Beatrice Stopford Taylor born 1883 in Sheffield she married John William Holden in 1903 in Rochdale & I can't find any further trace of her.

Thanks
Jogobo

As you are looking for info post-1903 marriage - have you checked the 1911 census?

Have you checked freebmd for Holden births with a mothers maiden name of Taylor

Complete longshot as I don't know how old John was

There is a death on freebmd in Rochdale in 1906 for a John William Holden aged 32

There is a 1913 marriage in Rochdale for a Beatrice Holden to John Horsfield

www.lancashirebmd.org.uk gives the 1903 marriage as follows

1903 Holden John to Taylor Beatrice Stopford at St Bartholomew, Whitworth  Preston    ...   PRESTON /121/198
so is Whitworth by Rochdale ?...the marriage is registered at Preston - not Rochdale
allan
ADDED ..Whitworth is in the borough of Rossendale and Rochdale is to the south of it...
www.lan-opc.org.uk/Search/indexp.html may have John Holden or Beatrice Taylor records ....there is a baptism for a Beatrice SHEPHERD Taylor on this site...I wonder if the name has been mistranscribed somewhere along the line ?

Beatrice Shepherd Taylor is someone else, as she marries in Bolton in 1906

Not sure if you have clarified this but Lancs BMD just means that the registers are at Preston. The marriage was at Whitworth as you say (Rochdale).

John William Holden's death in 1906 was registered in Rochdale (Whitworth and Wardle sub-district)

There'sa public tree on Ancestry which has Beatrice as b April - June  1884 in Sheffield, but nothing of her marriage. Links her to 1891 and 1901 census entries with comments that she and her brother are the adopted children of her late father's housekeeper

However there is a birth of Beatrice Stopford-taylor in Sheffield in Oct - Dec 1883, which seems more likely
