Cook/Ridley marriage

[CaroleW]

I think the tree owner may have interpreted the place they married (ie) Bedlington as her birthplace

Still a good idea to get the 1913 marriage cert

Yes, it does look there has been some 'interpretation' :-)

I think I'd first try to find out if they were married in a church in Bedlington (the service record doesn't say if it was a church or a registrar office wedding). A copy of a church marriage register, if it exists, is lots cheaper than a cert and has the original signatures which is far nicer.

If she died in Scotland, the death cert should give name and occupation of her deceased husband plus both parents' names so may be just as good, if not better, to confirm it -  with the usual caveat of 'as far as the informant knew'

You are right about her death certificate.  As she died in Scotland both parents names will be shown plus mothers maiden name which is better than just a fathers name on an English marriage cert

Sadly the Jane Cook married to Osmond George Ridley is not my 'Jane'

Her mother was Penelope Mack and father John Cook

Back to the drawing board

Thanks everyone for all your help

Is there anyone who could identify where Dickinson Crescent actually was /is. On my grandfather's deed poll notification to the London Gazette 16/07/1919, he notes 86 Dickinson Crescent, Gosforth (Newcastle -on-Tyne) as his current address. However try as I might I can't locate it. I have tried google map amongst others and lists of historical changed and redundant street names and can't find it. I notice however, that Tickettyboo has quoted it in the query above - the only time I've had confirmation that it wasn't an address made up by my grandfather!

He he, as I am in the frame for it  - though I have no idea where it was, I had a looksee on the NLS maps site

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01l5l/

Hopefully, that link will show where it was and the side by side map should give an indication of the current day map.

Do come back if I haven't managed to give the right link, Stan Mapstone is our map guru and I am just a novice!

It certainly appears in the 1911 census. After it in the enumerator's book is Three Mile Bridge, then West Gosforth Railway Station. That would seem to place it in this area https://www.old-maps.co.uk/#/Map/424264/569687/10/101861 (you might have to zoom out a little to see the map).
However I've looked at all the maps and can't see it anywhere

Thank you, Jen.  Just by chance you have helped me again.  I was wondering which houses were already built in North Avenue off Salters Road in 1911.

Wow
Ticketyboo and JenB -  many many thanks.
Boo, you have done me a double favour! I didn't know that the match facility existed!!

Brilliant
