Can Rootschat members help? - Lost Teddy Bear 'Seeks' Owner

[Rosinish]

Was too busy wondering about the new Hasbro game of Cluedo.

Thinking if they base it round Peru I won't be able to play it as I'm hopeless with geography.

Anyway, lights are on and I'm in now

Hi all,
Just catching up with all the pages I have missed out on reading for quite a few days and Carol's post kind of made me think. If Doris's mother did get remarried to a Charles H Hayward in Bristol in 1929, could Doris have used or adopted the surname of her stepfather. Only wondering if this is the case because my grandmother was married previously and had two children with her first husband, he passed away and then my grandmother met and married my grandfather and my aunt and uncle from her first marriage adopted my grandfathers surname.

There is a marriage September quarter 1937 Doris E Hayward to a Reginald J Povey in Caerleon.

Good thinking Nettie. Sounds a great possibility to me

If it is a possibility HL then there appears to be two children from this marriage and what also appears to possibly be a grandchild as well.

Might be worth sending a PM to Trystan or DawnSh (moderator) Nettie because we can't post the names on this thread and they were coordinating the contact with the possible family.....but I don't know if that has ground to a halt now perhaps.

I will send a PM to Trystan, it would be nice to know if anything has come of all the research  RC members have done looking for the owner of this bear.

Sent you a PM Nettie as this may not be our Doris E

PS    Just realised I'm confused Nettie and we're still in with a chance   
I looked up the death record with the wrong surname and now I haven't got the time to look again    

Will search later when I get home......so sorry 

[Hampshire Lass]

Right.....update...

I really shouldn't cook dinner, get ready to go out and post on RC all at the same time 

I was right the first time around and I have found a death record with the surname Povey, which knocks this marriage on the head, probably.

I think I'm resigning from this thread now as I'm as much use as a chocolate teapot. Too confused.

Before I go    I've found a marriage in 1938 between Florence E Baker and Edgar W Baker.

Which doesn't help us find Doris E

There are no matching records for Nicholas Hayward unfortunately...It was a good suggestion though.
I think I posted that one H.L. a few pages back but I think I discounted that one on the basis of her age...she was born in 1875.
