Find Living Relatives

I was wondering whether someone could help me. I am trying to find out about this lady for my friend. She was born in Nuneaton in the Dec Quarter. Her birth was registered twice once in the name of Wareham and once in the name of Owen.

I am trying to find out about this lady. ? why her birth was registered in two names and what happened to her. I cant find a marriage or a death for her.

Ay information would be really great. I have to be really careful as she could still be alive.

Thanks for your help Jane.

For helpers' reference:

Births Dec 1941 (>99%)
Wareham Deanna D B Dix Nuneaton 6d 1135

Births Dec 1941 (>99%)
OWEN Deanna D B Dix Nuneaton 6d 1135


Possibly parents' marriage??

Marriages Jun 1937 (>99%)
Dix Dorrian M Warham Coventry 6d 1603
Wareham Alan C Dix Coventry 6d 1603
Warham Alan C Dix Coventry 6d 1603

Thanks ArgyllGran

Yes I think that is the correct parents. Thank you for helping me.

Jane

I have no idea why her birth is registered with different surnames.

Searchelectoralroll shows a Deanna Owen, aged 75, living in Wales, and 192.com says she was on the 2015 ER.

Absolutely no idea if she could be the right person or not.

I'll PM the details.

Thanks ArgyllGran

Its really strange, she can't just disappear. Perhaps that is her. Her age is correct and it is not that far from Coventry.

All the best Jane

Ah, that lady died in 2015.

She had 3 sisters, and I don't see the births of any siblings for your friend's Deanna.
No husband mentioned in the obituary, but she had a son.

I've PM'd the link to the obituary, which is easily found from a Google search, in any case.

"Your" Deanna may have emigrated, not married, and still be alive, in which case we wouldn't be able to find her from what's readily searchable online.

Does your friend know anything else about her - has she had contact with her, and if so, when?

ArrgyllGran I have sent you a message.

All I know is that Her mum and dad split up. She has had no contact with her and has never met her.

Thanks

Jane

This may be her father - though it sheds no light on the Owen side of things:

His parents' marriage, I think - so not as if he's using his mother's maiden name as an alternative:
Marriages Sep 1904 (>99%)
Hobday Rose Emily Alcester 6d 1246
Wareham Charles Harmon Alcester 6d 1246

The usual suggestion is that her mother had been married before in which case the mothers name on the BC would be

Dorrien Wareham, formerly Owen, previously Dix. Dix being her maiden name. However, her previous married name would be reflected in her 1937 marriage reference, which it isn't.

Could she have had an extra marital affair while her husband was away fighting, or been widowed & had a child with another man who accepted paternity outside of wedlock? All sorts of things went on during the war years!

To be honest, the easiest way to find out the full details is to purchase the birth certificate.

Ah - you added earlier that her parents separated. I'd go for Mr Owen being her biological father.

Thanks DetEctive and ArgylGran for all your help.
DetEcTive. I have sent you a message.

I am not sure if that is the correct family for Alan Wareham I will have to ask my friend tonight to confirm it.

Thanks again

Jane

Have replied. Choose one set of names when you order the cert as there is only one Birth Certificate. You'll be wasting £9.25 if you use both sets of data.

Thanks DetEctive. I think I would recommend that she goes for the one in the name of Owens.

Jane

Does you friend know what happened to the parents?

Rose

Only one registered birth 1941 for a Deanna Owen , and in Genes Tree of
Deanna Owen place of birth blank , have sent PM .

seems the marriage could have been over by the above.?

The mother went on to have at least 2 more children. Perhaps you already know this as your friend is one of these?

Rose

Thank you so much Kay, Rose and Kenneth.

No she doesn't know any of the information you have given me. She really didn't know anything about this lady til I told her about her. She had an idea her Dad had had another child ? sister but didn't know anything for sure til I asked her about her. It was a bit of a shock to her.

Sorry just to clarify Dorrian May had two other children including Deanna. Who were they please. My friend is from Alan Warehams second marriage.

So Could the Deanna Owen ArgylGran be the Deanna we are looking for?

Thanks you all so much for this information. Everyone has been really kind helping me.

I have to go to work now but will check this thread when I get back tonight.

All the best

Jane
