Researching my family tree

Recommended Posts

Hi, I am still stuck, I have been on Ancestry trying to research, and drawing blanks (please see questions at bottom)

 

Summarised Background info i have

Albert Freeman

DOB on 1939 register 09.03.1884 (on 1939 register says Freeman but Ancestry result returns incorrectly Fallman)

1939 register Lived at 50 Boyton Street

Kelly’s Directories Lived at 50 Boyton Street 1922-1942

Deceased assuming 50 Boyton Street, April 1942

Mabel Freeman (Married Hurt in 1947)

DOB on 1939 register 10.06.1894 (again on 1939 register says Freeman but Ancestry result returns incorrectly Fallman)

1939 register Lived at 50 Boyton Street

Kelly’s Directories Lived at 110 Spencer Road 1971-1973

Deceased at 110 Spencer Road, July 1975

Victor Freeman

DOB on 1939 register 11.01.1922 (again on 1939 register says Freeman but Ancestry result returns incorrectly Fallman)

1939 register Lived at 50 Boyton Street

Deceased address unknown 06.03.2009

My Mother Doris Freeman (Married Oxley in 1947)  

DOB on 1939 register 26.12.1927 should be 1928 (again on 1939 register says Freeman but Ancestry result returns incorrectly Fallman)

1939 register Lived at 50 Boyton Street

Lived at 110 Spencer Road according to wedding cert 21.06.1947, then moved to 99 Carrfield Road once married

Deceased 09.10.2000 address is known

 

Questions:

Albert Freeman – Addresses needed before 1922, when and or if he was married to Mabel Freeman, as the 1939 register infers they were married

Mabel Freeman – Date married as above, as the 1939 register infers they were married, addresses up to 1947 when she married Hurt 2nd husband, what is Mabel’s birth / maiden name and place of birth

Victor FreemanAny other information as little is known other than what is on the 1939 register and the death index

Doris Freeman – When did she move from 50 Boyton Street to 110 Spencer Road, maybe linked to her mother Mabel

I have a theory, not that I've tested it out robustly yet. If you look down the 1939  register page down to the bottom there is a Charles A Hurt, thought at first it said Hunt but I traced a Charles A Hurt back to being born in 1885. He had a sister of the right age called Martha Hurt. They were in St Silas's parish in 1911. Could Mabel be a pet name for Martha? Also why was the surmame crossed out and Hurt installed before she married Herbert almost 10 years later!Can't find a link between two Hurt families but could have been a distant cousin. Smith may have been put in for kids names as Mabel/Martha and Albert weren't actually married? 

 

 

Or was she registered at birth as Hart not Hurt? Still can't find a marriage to Freeman though !!! Death index says birth was 10 June 1893 whereas 1939 census as 1894!

Well, Rivelin6, it's an interesting theory - Hurt or Hart! I wonder how we could check it out. For surnames from later marriages to be included in the 1939 Register entries isn't actually unusual - these surnames were added, often in green ink (the same applies, for example, to my aunt Joyce Whittles, later Ridgard, who was married in 1952). Sometimes the actual date of the marriage was included, as in this case 6.12.47. But as Albert and Mabel do not seem to have been  married in 1939, there may well be an explanation of this kind. Curious!

Are we actually looking at the right Doris? as there was one with mother's maiden name Proctor born in 1922 with a sister called Irene?

 

Just noticed date of birth in an earlier post. Spent all day on this so my advice would be get the marriage certificate from 1947 to Herbert Hurt and check if it has the former maiden names on there as she could have been married a few times or get your Mum's birth certificate and see if any more details on there. 

 

Hi Hillsbro,

I think the Mabel Hart born in 1893 died 1899 but not been able to progress  other theory any further yet. 😔

Right, had another look at it this am and Elsie seems to have been born to a John and Florence Freeman nee Hobson. John was born 1899. The families seem to be related because their other daughter Florence married a  Herbert Rodgers in  1949. It shows this also in the 1939 register.  This John Freeman lived with some Oxleys  in 1911 census.  Rose Harriet Freeman, John's Mum  seems to have had him and his brother Charles out of wedlock then marries John Oxley in 1904.

Well done, Rivelin6!

It's interesting to find an Oxley connection in 1911. Here is a link to the 1911 census data. https://i.postimg.cc/XJGZvXFD/1911-Freeman.jpg

John appears as Oxley in 1901 census so I'm guessing the John Oxley is probably the father but can't be sure.

Rose H Freeman is down as  Rose H Freedom in 1881. She was only 8 and classed as a boarder? Also a boarder in 1991  census.1881 England Census for Rose H. Freedom

1) Can you possibly have a look at Kellys directory for 92 Cherrytree Street, Hoyland Nether, Yorkshire (West Riding) i would like to try and find out which members of the "Hill family" were there, dates, from and to

2)  On the 1939 resister it shows Elsie Hill (nee Freeman) & Married to John Hill, living at  92 Cherrytree Street, plus a closed record, I'm guessing its neither of of their children, Brenda was born Dec 1943 & John was born Dec 1952
