Marie Macdonald.
« on: Friday 23 November 12 02:33 GMT (UK) »
Hi all
I have a Marie (or Maria) Macdonald on my tree.  Various census records after her marriage indicate she was born circa 1864 on the Isle of Wight.  I cannot locate an entry for her maiden name prior to her marriage.  She married William Henry Langman in 1888 at Croydon, Surrey.  I can't locate a birth entry on BMD and am also trying to ascertain her parentage.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Many thanks

Hi
Could she have been born Eugenie Maria
There is an Eugenie Maria McDonnell registered I of W   AMJ 1863  2b 488
There is a death in 1939 for an Eugenie M Langman born c 1863 in Croydon.
Mc Donald is a surname open to different spelling interpretations due to mistakes.

The Isle of Wight FHS has a BMD database: http://www.isle-of-wight-fhs.co.uk/

That birth registration of Eugenie McDonnell is the best fit?!
Mother's maiden name - Murphy.

Hi Cathy

The death entry for Eugenie M. Langman looks like a clincher, so tangible.  I guess now I need to determine if she was born a McDonnell or a Mac/McDonald.  Thanks for helping me look outside the square, I'd been searching for a possible death entry as Marie/Maria Langman without success and her husband did die at Croydon also in 1930.  Thank you so much for the eye opener.
Kindest regards
