Looking for birth
« on: Monday 18 November 13 17:40 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I'm trying to find a birth record for Winifred M D Oldham, born in 1929. I'm looking on behalf of someone else and that's the only information I've got, so I'm trying to find her place of birth and mother's maiden name so I can go back from there. I've done a search but can't find the record, can anyone help me find any information?

Hi,

Have you tried looking for a death record of Winifred to establish her birth year or are you certain that it is 1929?

Have found no birth details of a Winifred M D Oldham as yet  ???

Thanks for looking. The person who gave me the information helped to arrange her funeral and seems sure about when she was born.

He thinks it's possible her parents divorced. If she took her mother's maiden name or a stepfather's name, is there any way of finding a record of this? Apart from that I don't know where else to look.

Hi,

No obvious birth, but lots of possibles for Oldham and then there are these for Holden

There is a birth Dec Q 1925:-
Holden    Winifred D M    Hirons    Pershore    6c   274

There is a marriage  Dec Q 1943:-
Holden    Winifred D M    Henry    Pershore    6c   518

Have you any clue about the area she is thought to have been born or lived in later life?

Did she ever marry?

Thanks,

She was the long term partner of my relative but they never married, and I'm pretty sure she was never married before that. I think she lived in London as a child but I don't know if she was born there. At some point she moved to Essex where she lived until her death.

I'm not sure if he has seen the death certificate, but will find out. He seems certain she was born in 1929 though.

Even if your contact doesn't have access to the death certificate, sufficient details to identify the death registration (where in Essex did she die, when and in what name) would help a lot.

Caithness: MacGregor
Essex: Eldred (Pebmarsh)
Gloucs: Timbrell (Winchcomb)
Hants: Stares (Wickham)
Lincs: Maw, Jackson (Epworth, Belton)
London: Pierce
Suffolk: Markham (Framlingham)
Surrey: Gosling (Richmond)
Wilts: Matthews, Tarrant (Calne, Preshute)
Worcs: Milward (Redditch)
Yorks: Beaumont, Crook, Moore, Styring (Huddersfield); Middleton (Church Fenton); Exley, Gelder (High Hoyland); Barnes, Birchinall (Sheffield); Kenyon, Wood (Cumberworth/Denby Dale)

She died 12/10/13, so I don't think any records will be online yet. She lived in Clacton though, and as far as I know she always used the same name.
