Where does it say Lucy mn Railton?

Ancestry has West Yorkshire, England, Electoral Registers, 1840-1962 showing George Price at Midland Road.

Apologies....it doesnt say MN it says shes a widow. I missed that! Thanks x

This death?
Margaret Putt  Birth Date:  22nd April 1920
Registration of death : March quarter 1987 at Leeds

but cannot see likely birth as should be in April/May/June quarter 1920 in Yorkshire (probably)

Confused

If Lucy was born Pullan and married Rhodes - how did Lucy Railton marry George Price?  No Rhodes/Railton marriage given Booth only died after the 1911 census and Lucy Railton married George Price in 1908

I think it would be best if we first concentrated on finding Clarence’s mother Bertha.  We have all encountered posts where a child has been “adopted” without there being any connection to the adoptive family.

Am I right in thinking you have his birth cert confirming his mother as Bertha but no father shown??

Margaret Putt had probate in 1987 - might be worth ordering.

I think Lucy might have lied and/or committed bigamy.

The marriage information is that Lucy Railton (widow) married George Price and that her father was George Pullan.  Just trying to work out how.

But will now try Bertha.

His birth cert has lily bamford as mother,  maiden name Bromwich.
No father.

Like I said weve got so far with this as theres no records whatsoever of Lily, so it was believed Bertha used Lily as a false name on b.c because he was an illegitimate baby x

Take a look at the 1911 entry for Bertha Bamford b 1885

Can I just throw this in:
Wright Bamforth age 24 married on 24 March 1900 at Slaithwaite with East Scammonden, St James, Yorkshire
Father:  Allen Bamforth
Spouse:  Lucy Annie Price

[CaroleW]

He was Clarence Bamford not Bamforth b 1908 mmn Bromwich

Yes, just doing fuzzy matching, but spellings had hardened by then. Just seeing the Price made me have a little explore.
