Corlett / Kaighan marriage Birkenhead 1929
 

Good morning
Lad in the pub named Corlett - we know it is an Isle of Man Surname - we also think Kaighan may be Isle of Man surname
so
Robert E Corlett marries Florence Kaighan in Birkenhead in 1929 - NO Children showing on Freebmd
Am I allowed to ask this - can we find where they are in 1921 census please to find out where she was born ? - I want to find out where Florence was born - No birth showing on Freebmd -
I can't help thinking she may be KEEGAN and the 1929 marriage is a mistranscription - BUT - Familysearch has the marriage as FLORENCE KAIGHAN AS WELL
I have to go out at 8-20 so if I don't answer it is not through ignorance - any help appreciated - cheers ...Allan..

SO - Cheshirebmd has her name as Kaighin with an I - NOT kAIGHAN WITH AN A - having another look for her birth

OK - Got her
Births Jun 1886 (>99%)
KAIGHIN Florence Birkenhead 8a 492

so she was 43 when she married - might explain why there were no children - OK ...Thanks - this thread can be deleted if need be - Allan

My son-in-law has Isle of Man ancestry and has Corletts in his tree, Allan.

This looks like the family:

There are a couple of Florences born on the Isle of Man too around the right time. They are on FMP.

If we could find Robert and Florence on the 1939 Register it would give us Florence's date of birth so we would know which was the right one. But I haven't managed to find them on that.

At least Cheshire BMD gives us Robert's middle name - Edward.

Okay, I found a public tree on Ancestry which said that Florence is in Southampton on the 1939 Register, a paid companion. She is shown as married but her husband isn't there. Date of birth 20 Mar 1886 which fits with the Birkenhead birth - also the public trees say that the Florence who married Robert Corlett is the one born 1886 Birkenhead. This tree has a photo of her:
