Hunsley on marriage index

Thank you for this.

The bride was given away by her grandfather Mr Charles Downs.

So without appearing thick, her mother's maiden name was Downs.

How does Mrs J Moss fit into this?

Is she a 2nd wife?

[Comberton]

Mrs J Moss is mother of George, possibly Elizabeth Hunsley married 1918 Chesterfield to John Henry Moss. They are together in 1921 with a Moss/ Hallam child.
I think this is her in 1911 with William but no marriage found, his wife died 1905.

George was born 23 APR 1911.

Newspaper says eldest son of William and Mrs J Moss!

Does that mean Eliza died shortly after the marriage?

My head hurts.

George Hunsley
1911–1983
BIRTH 22 APR 1911 • Sheffield, Yorkshire West Riding

I think i have the correct birth date/place as only one George born around that time.

So that would make him a month or so old.

The 1911 census was taken on 2 April so your George wasn't yet born.

If they're the couple in Derbyshire in 1939 -- his DOB is 27 May 1910.

His date of birth is actually given as 22 or 23 April 1911, hard to tell because the day has been written over.  Above that has been added later 27-5-10  KIA 29-9-1949 so someone has incorrectly identified him as the other George who was living in Lincolnshire.  KIA is the district number for Sheffield so one of them had some event in 1949 but who knows which one.
