REBECCA MAZORKOFF

[steve62]

Back on a branch left a few years ago and having problems.

Rebecca Mazorkoff (c.1901 Liverpool) married Marcus Marks (c.1901 England) on 04/09/1927 in Ontario.
Looked ( I think) just about everywhere and cannot find  if they had children or when they died or census.
As a matter of interest I have found it very hard to trace the Mazorkoff Family in the UK and Canada due to the mis-spelling of the surname.  Used wildcards - the lot.

Really appreciate some guidence.

Thanks

Sandra,
Thank you very much for the info.
Dolly?  Not as far as I know.  All UK records show Rebecca only.
Looks like I've got another brickwall. 

Grateful for your time.

It didn't sound like another brick wall to me - this sounded like your couple - Dolly could have been a pet name - the same couple are shown on later voters list as Marcus/Rebecca at same address 
We also know that Rebecca disappeared between 1965 - 1972 because she wasn't listed on the last voters list.
Privacy laws in Canada are quite strict which makes it difficult to find information.  Perhaps Run Kitty (the Canadian Obit Expert)  might find obituaries for the couple.

I had a great aunt Dolly, it wasn't until she died that we actually knew that her real name was Mary Elizabeth!

A Marcus and Rebecca Marks arrived from Montreal on R.M.S. Ivernia at Greenock, Scotland on 28 July 1960 for a 5 week visit. He was described as a sportswear op., she as a housewife.  What look like dates of birth were recorded, 3 June 1901 for him, 31 December 1901 for her. The address in the UK given for their visit was 50 Hardwick St. Prescott St. Liverpool. (BTW, they returned on the Carinthia on 7 September, her DOB was now given as 31 February 1901, he was described as a sportswear operator, and the visit address was 50 Hardwick St. Off Prescott St. Liverpool).

This may be the couple posted by Sandra, do the dates of birth / address do anything for you?

... What look like dates of birth were recorded, 3 June 1901 for him, 31 December 1901 for her ...

I can see births that are in the ballpark for these folk:

- Marcus Marks registered in Jul/Aug/Sep 1901, Prestwich, volume 8d, page 820;
- Rebecca Mazorkoff registered in Jan/Feb/Mar 1902, Liverpool, volume 8b, page 84.

... cannot find if they had children ...

Should these folk turn out to be the correct ones (it looks promising), simply googling 133 Winnett Avenue will bring back a hit on this.
