Please could anyone help, my grandfather Alfred Davies re - married in 1934 to Minnie Smallman . Alfred was born in 1894 Stoke on trent , Minnie was born in 1895 , they lived in Stoke on trent until they died, Alfred died in 1969 , Minnie died in 1967 , I am trying to find out if they had any children . Thanks John .

I was thinking , should I have posted this to living relatives ? :-S

Hello John
You could post it to living relatives and delete this one.
Living relatives of above names.
I have had a quick look but found nothing
Sylvia

you can look for yourself ...............

any births to them would be on the following free site

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

click on Births

enter father's surname

Enter mother's maiden name in box Spouse/Mother Surname

Enter years ............. eg, 1933 and 1969


Click Find



I don't actually see any births with those names in the area you cite, but you probably know better than I

Note that the names of towns are actually the names of the Registration District, which may include several towns and villages.

Thank you Sylvia.
I am just trying to find out if they had any children , then may be they would have photos of my grandfather , its realy hard for people who grew up in foster care from an early age , the only photos I have of my parents are buried in my mind of a meeting I had 48 years ago but that meeting is just like yesterday .

Do you know if Minnie was married before?

Well Minnie would have been c 39 years of age at marriage so her child producing years would have been reduced to ten years at the most

Do you know if Minnie was single when she married because if she wasn't then any child born wouldn,t at have the mmn as Smallman on the birth cert record

Only Minnie Smallman birth coming up on FreeBMD

Births Sep 1893 (>99%)
Smallman Minnie Chesterfield 7b 686

Her death

Deaths Sep 1967
Davies Minnie 72 Stoke T 9b 447

Maybe the informant was family

Or more likely on Alfred death cert

Deaths Dec 1969
DAVIES Alfred 26My1894 Stoke/T 9b 1419

Could Minnie have been married before?

There is the following marriage

Jun 1913

Smallman Washington Madely Stoke T 6b 399
Madely Minnie Smallman Stoke T 6b 399

There could be two children born to the above Marriage (slight variation of Mother's name)

Sep 1913
Smallman Washington Madeley Stoke T 6 b 382

Sep 1914
Smallman Arthur J Madeley Stoke T 6b 430

Husband Washington Smallman dies in 1927

Death Jun 1927
Smallman Washington 33 Stoke T 6b 137

Looks like son Washington marries in 1934 too to a Rose Davies

Jun 1934

Smallman Washington Davies Stoke T 6 b 473
Davies Rose Smallman Stoke T 6b 473

Still can't see any children born to the Marriage Arthur Davies & Minnie Smallman nee Madely Madeley.

So this look more like her birth
