Who was Susan?
« on: Saturday 01 February 14 09:43 GMT (UK) »
I am try to find  more details on a Susan Cooper Baxter.
She married Frank Ainsworth in St Paul's Church Scotforth Lancaster. Sep 1915.
He emigrated to New Zealand in 1926 leaving her in England.
I posted on the New Zealand board and got lots of useful information but I'm still not sure if this is the correct Frank.
There is a divorce registered in New Zealand in 1929.
Frank Ainsworth is possibly my Father's brother who cut himself off from the family.
More information on Susan would help my search.
I  have sent for a  marriage certificate but just wondered if by chance anyone had any other information.
LANCASTER - London Kent Sussex Croydon
CLEMMANS - London Kent Sussex
ROCHE - London
WARE - Kent
SPENCER - Kent
NEWNHAM - Sussex
FISHER - London Norfolk
DENNINGTON - London
MONTAGUE - Kent

As per LancashireBMD for 1939
WILKINSON * Edwin spouse AINSWORTH Susan Cooper
WILKINSON * Edwin spouse BAXTER Susan Cooper
Lancaster Register Office or Registrar Attended Preston LANC/61/4

the * suggests alternative surnames for the marriage which would normally indicate a second marriage

Can you post the details you have of Frank Ainsworth - and , if your father has passed away , your fathers details - it would be more conclusive to confirm them as brothers first - otherwise your research on Susan Cooper Baxter / Ainsworth / Wilkinson is pointless ?
If your father is still alive , don`t post his details ,
