Marriage cert arrived today:
I Jan 1931 after banns Thomas Connolly, 22, Bachelor, Labourer, 4 Station Cottages, Heswall Father Thomas Connolly, Market Gardener Edith Mary Sharratt, 28, Spinster, 1 Walker Street, Hoylake Father John Sharratt, Labourer Witnesses John Sharratt, Ellen Price W.F. Warburton, Vicar So it looks like I've spent many hours researching the wrong family! I think what threw me was the ages. I just assumed her husband would be of the same age or older. Message to self: Don't assume anything!

I would take out a one month subscription on Ancestry to view it, but I've heard that it's not straightforward trying to cancel a subscription with them?

Looks like it could be the one I found and well done Merry for spotting that Thomas wasn't the Thomas. Joseph and Elizabeth's marriage will remain a mystery. Last edited by maggie_4_7; 28-05-21 at 13:54. |

(first names) Connolly was known as (middle name) and he was in the Merchant Navy and emigrated to Australia, last known address was Christies Beach, South Australia. They have a photo of him and a poor one of his father. Also a photo of his step-mother, Gladys. They may be more connected to the Twist family as they have a lot more info on them (no parents for 1908 Thomas C), but that could just be because the name Twist is easier to research!

Because you can't see it from that tree Edith's son looks like he may have emigrated to South Australia and was in the Merchant Navy but remember that is that person's research so you would need to confirm all of that. I am not putting his name he may still be alive. Snap Merry has already posted. |

There is a death on Ancestry for the correct full name, b 1932 died 1969 but it's in Western Australia. This might be a red herring!

Patrick might be a name given at confirmation, or a self-bestowed name. I have ancestors who picked up names as they went along.

I cannot find a birth registration for Gladys Lilian Twist I have her baptism 29 Dec 1909 St Peter, Liverpool, parents Thomas & Annie I have the marriage of Thomas Harop Twist & Annie Foreman Powell 1907 Also the births of Maud Evelyn Twist (1908) & Thomas H Twist (1912) both with mother's maiden name Powell, but nothing for Gladys Lilian. Maybe it's just missing off FMP?
