Landy

[Cal241]

Hi
I am looking to find out more about Maisie Landy.

She married  William E Hadland (poss Hagland) in Liverpool Dec qtr 1929

In March qtr 1937 she became Maisie V L  Hagland marrying a William Bennett in Liverpool South.

I can't find her birth or anything about her family

Any help would be wonderful

Do you have a copy of either marriage cert showing her age and her fathers name?

When and where did she die as her death reg will give you a birthyear

[CaroleW]

There is a death reg in Prescot 1966 showing an approx birthyear 1909 - is that her?

Maisie can be a nickname for Margaret or Marjorie and was originally a Scottish variant of Margaret.

Hi CaroleW

There is this birth in 1909 but as you say a marriage cert is needed.
Margaret Landy Dec 1/4 1909 Oldham vol 8d page 597

Or
Florence May Landy June 1/4 1909 West Derby vol 8b page 568

May she have Irish origins? If this is your ancestor, are you able to find out anything more via living relatives? 

But as others have said, you really need a copy of her marriage certificate/s. There are one or two possible candidates in the 1911 census, but we really need to know her father's name before we look any further.

Hi Cal,

Just found a report in the Manchester Guardian of an inquest on Mrs Bertha Landy aged 70, who died on December 13 1934, following an accident at a school concert the day before. The floor of St Clements Church of England School collapsed during a school concert. Her daughter, Mrs Maisie Hagland, gave evidence at the inquest, saying that the room had been far too crowded.

In 1901, there is a Bertha C Landy age 37 in Wavertree with husband William (39), and children Bertha E (17) and Harold J (12), but I can't see them in 1911

PS there were two articles about the inquest; in one of them it says Bertha Landy lived on Upper Parliament St, but doesn't give an address for Maisie

Great detective work Barbara!

I was actually looking in hope of seeing a death for Maisie's husband somewhere, as Hagland is not too common. Finding Maisie & her mum was more than expected! 

There are Catholic baptisms on Anc for Bertha Emily Landy and Harold John Landy, parents William Landy and Bertha Jarvis. No sign of a Maisie though
