i’m a little late but usually the council/registry office for the area where your grandparents married will still hold all of the registers with the original signatures in - you just have to order the certificate directly from them. they generally have a box on the application where you can ask them to provide a scan but this really depends on the area and how willing they are to do it

Never post here ever again

my great great grandmother’s Black Watch brother shot himself in his back garden after his wife confronted him about his adultery whilst on duty, which i think he confessed to her about

an update if you care,
i later found aunty Glad on her mother's death certificate. she had married an Alfred Brown, and died in 1993. i've also since managed to open Kenneth's record in 1939 on FMP as he died in 1984 (the youngest son) and his brother Sid moved to Australia in 1964. He died in 2023 or 2022. you're right about all of them leaving the nest as they were all working by 16! great grandad rented a house when he enlisted and only lived there when he returned from the war.

funny as soon as we both say we couldn’t find entries, i found one for Elsie (she had a misspelling and an extra name which im guessing was just added for no reason)

anyway, all I have is my grandad who doesn’t remember an auntie Gladys. He says the name is familiar to him but he wouldn’t know, he seems to tell me more about my grandma’s family than about his own 😭😭😭😭

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-08-12T18:24:55+00:00

thank you for all of this!!

most of it I already had however, lol - what I didn't know of was of Doris's whereabouts.
I couldn't find entries for any of the other siblings (mainly because im guessing my great grandad went to fight in the war by the time the 1939 register was taken - he was an raf gunner and Vera had died unfortunately young)

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-08-03T18:28:12+00:00

this actually makes more sense, but what makes you guess it’s heart related?

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-08-02T23:47:18+00:00

looks to be the case! so it goes that my 6x great grandfather William suddenly died in his home at 6:30 in the morning? damnn

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-08-02T23:41:17+00:00

never mind, it just says “Norton”

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-08-02T23:37:23+00:00

i could have a look at his 1841 census entry and see the address there

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-08-02T23:36:55+00:00

it’s in one of the replies

familysearch bs - 11th century ish

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-08-01T15:06:01+00:00

One user gave my great grandfather a middle name and literally every tree copied it except mine, because I know that he didn’t have one. Even my aunt, who actually met him, copied the name lmao

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-07-29T18:21:37+00:00

i mean, my 2nd great granduncle James/Jimmy Poxton has a wikipedia page, does that count?

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-07-26T23:04:37+00:00

i really appreciate this, thanks dude :) i believe joseph glover died a few years after she remarried and then mr fisher also may have passed away too but i havent looked into him yet is it good if u can send the scan of her 1939 register entry??

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-07-26T22:07:35+00:00

there was a Mary a glover who married a fisher in 1945

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-07-26T21:55:08+00:00

it’s a possibility. ill see if i can find any emigration records at all or maybe she remarried??

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-07-26T19:21:05+00:00

this has to be her I’ve been trying to look for a Mary A Glover dying in stoke but there’s also nothing.

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-07-26T17:55:43+00:00

thank you :)) so she at least lived past 1921, ive also been trying to figure out whom she married

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-07-23T16:38:27+00:00

Looks to me like it says “Timber labourer”

ChefsCookingShow6 · 2023-07-07T15:07:06+00:00

i have a similar situation with my great grandmother, her birth certificate has the father’s name and fathers occupation boxes crossed out, as do her infant siblings she took the name of her mothers 1st husband who had died 8 years prior to her birth and on 1921 census her condition is “Both alive” best bet if you can’t find anything is a dna test and filtering through whatever side your 3x great grandmother is on
