I have a marriage which is correct..
Susan Hannah Rees married Max Myers in 1934 Marylebone London.
Her father was Thomas Rees born in 1885 Pancras.
He married Emma Hawes in 1904 and she died in 1909.
1911 Thomas is back living with his parents Thomas and Susan in Pancras.
Now,I believe that Susan Hannah was born to Thomas and Emma.
He didn't re marry,but had several children with his next 'wife',the first of these born in 1915.
So,where was Susan Hannah in 1911??
I am told she was born around 1904/5 but there doesn't seem to be a birth for her on Freebmd.
Would it be possible for someone to see if there is a birth or baptism on Ancestry please?
Or could someone check the 1911 and see if they can find her please??
Thank you for any help!

Hi Jany - is the information you have from the 1934 marriage certificate?

What was Thomas' occupation?

You say you "believe" Susan Hannah was Thomas & Emma's child - what proof do you have?

... just trying to get a clear picture

Hi Maddie
I did see that one,but ruled it out.
It could be the names Susan and Hannah were stuck together when they registered her or Susan parted them when she got older..??
I did try to find Susannah Mary in 1911 to eliminate her,but can't see her anywhere.

Marie Celeste.
Yes,the info was from the marriage
I only knew her as Susie
Thomas ,her father was a cab driver and lived in Marsden St Kentish Town.
Susie was a dancer(Tiller Girl) and Max an 'entrepreneur'
As her father was widowed by 1911 and didn't have children with his next 'wife' till 1915,I guessed that Emma was Susie's mother,
Susie was the same age as my grandmother who was born in 1904, sso could be 1903 or 1905?

Thank you for looking.
Really odd...She was definitely alive!
I am beginning to think that Susan Hannah was not her real name.I know they were the names of her grandmother and gt grandmother and wonder if she really had a horrible name and changed it.
But I think you have to get married under your real name,don't you?
Thank you very much for your help

Ginny
Thank you..I didn't have the deaths.
Max was born in 1910 and his last address was in Richmond,so that does look like him.
I knew Susie had moved to her son's so that looks like her.
So her death was registered as Susie then
I really think it was not her real name now.
Thank you very much

Just thought that with a birth date,I can scroll through all Rees births in that quarter and hopefully come up with something

Have you found your grandmother on the 1911? Who is looking after her?

Or was Susan a friend of your grandmother, and not a sister.

Gee Report 3 Jul 2011 15:01

I wonder if she adopted? Theres nothing matching a birth for her in the last q of 1906 and the first q of 1907

Gee

Gee Report 3 Jul 2011 15:05

Id send for her death certificate just to check if there are any clues as to her maiden name

Gee

Gee Report 3 Jul 2011 15:07

Who were her children Jany?

Forget that I can see their births and it doesnt help as the maiden name is Rees
