I am looking at one of my brick walls well in fact most of the afternoon and I am not having any luck.
I am looking for my Uncles wife you would think with a name like Minnie Amelia Emma Southgate she would be easy to find. I have the marriage certificate they married (Ernest Richard Cox) in 1937 in District of Shoreditch, she states her father is George William Southgate Deceased, Labourer. Witness name's do not help, one is another uncle of mine and another is a George Watson, I have found Minnie living with George's family on the Electoral roll it looks like he was a neighbour. I know they moved to Northampton they lived there until they died.
On the death details it states Minnie's DOB is 4 Oct 1908 and Ernie's is 18 Oct 1906, it was these dates I thought would help me find them on the 1939 register but no luck there.
I would love to find her birth Certificate but had no luck finding her registered details. I have worked on the assumption that she has lied about her status as a spinster on the MC, and looked for a previous marriage for her, but no luck there. I searched using just her christian names a few came up and I looked at those but they did not work.
Can anyone think of anything I have not done to enable me to find her birth certificate?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
