Find Ancestors

My grandfather George Hill married Kathleen Ksvanagh in 1925 in London, due to the fact that he was in the cold stream guards. They had a child William George Hill. They. Moved back up to elsecar near Barnsley his home town. One day he came home from the pit to find her gone. She sent s letter a while later to say that there child had died. I don't know what happened to her. Her father is listed as a plasterer on the wedding certificate and both from Ireland. I wonder if she went back to London and this is where their son died. So not sure.

Thanks :-D

That FreeBMD connection comes up as time out error

What info were you trying to post ?

Marriages Mar 1925
Hill George Kavanagh St.Geo.H.Sq. 1a 721
Kavanagh Kathleen Hill St. Geo. H. Sq.

Births Sep 1925
Hill William G Cavanagh Lambeth 1d 309

Yes, didn't know if it was useful to put it on, :-D

Take a look on Freebmd to see if there is a child's death up to say 1940 that would fit with his, birth year

As George is your grandfather he must have remarried . Have you looked for a divorce ? Try the National Archive site for it

Might be an idea to remove that freebmd connection nuttybongo if you would please - the page has streeeeeeetched so far over (Shirley has posted the marriage now further down the page in an easier format!)

Hi

What is the details/name(s) listed on the marriage certificate please:

Fathers
Witnesses
Occupations
Address(s)
Age(s)

Hi folks,
Witnesses were a couple of random people by the looks of it. Father William and is listed as Irish and a plasterer. Grandfather remarried, had to wait 7 years till this marriage was deemed a non starter. I think the child was about 2 or 3 when he died.
Thanks :-D

There no death on FreeBMD that would tie with the age

Maybe she went back to Ireland and the child died there

Hi folks,

This surname could also be spelt Cavanagh. I have just had a look.

Thanks :-(
