Ratcliffe Hulse problem

[quiffdo]

After waiting what seemed a lifetime i finally recieved the birth cert for my GG Grandmother Mary Ellen Ratcliffe born 2/5/1900.

It states that her father was George Ratcliffe an Ironworker and her mother was Mary Ellen Hulse.

Now underneath her mothers name it says deceased, so i assume she died whilst giving birth to Mary.

I cannot find a marriage for Ratcliffe/Hulse or a suitable death for Mary.

Any help would be great.

Wow, thankyou Merry

Thats defo them as on Mary Ellen's marriage cert (George's daughter) George is down as a Furnaceman.

Ive just ordered George and Mary Hulse's marriage cert to confirm but im 99% sure thats them.

Thankyou soooooo much and thankyou Raven for the death and marriage you found.

Herbert Hulse seems to be single in 1881 ( listed as Herbert Haulse) so that might be why there's no birth reg for Mary Ellen Hulse!

There's a possible marriage the following year where one bride is Ann Davies.

This is 1891:

Maybe you might need to try for a birth cert of one of the later children, to sort out what was happening around 1881?

[quiffdo]

I was just thinking i should order a later birth cert.

Im sort of hoping her last name isnt Davies

lol Tha's what I though, but.........

1881....I think it is! (or Davis!) lol

At least that Jacob in the house may help with going back? (obviously all this will need confirming with certs!)

I can't seem to see Mary Ellen (George R's wife) on the 1901 census. She's not with him, is she? Only her parents etc. At what address was Mary Ellen b June 1901 born?

[quiffdo]

Noooooooooooooooo;)

Almost as bad as when i found my GGG Grandad married a Jones.

At the moment ive gone cert crazy, each time i find someone i order the cert.

Getting them all in before my daughter is born.

Mary Ellen was born 2/5/1900 and George's wife Mary Ellen Hulse was down as deceased on the birth cert so i think she died in child birth.

Yes, you won't have the time or the money again for another 20 years!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

Mary Ellen was born 2/5/1900 and George's wife Mary Ellen Hulse was down as deceased on the birth cert so i think she died in child birth.

Danny

Doh, I thought it was 2/5/1901! lol

Im looking forward to adding my daughter onto the tree, another generation

My son is 9 now and is quite interested in his tree (and has been for about 5 years). It's such a nightmare remembering how many "greats" everyone is just for yourself, never mind not getting confused when relating the tree to him and also to my mum!

[quiffdo]

Atleast it will give me someone in the family that MIGHT be intrested in the tree.
