I did a search on the National Archive site and found the date and parties involved for my great aunt’s divorce in the 1930s. My father in law’s divorce is not there though so perhaps I was just lucky. Linda in delightful Dorset (now it has stopped raining!) Lancs names: WRIGHT NAYLOR GARRARD MERCER BARRON WHITTLE

Hello All I am making enquiries for my son-in-law, who knows very little about the paternal side of his family. His father was born in 1930 in Oldham to Catherine Borkins and Harry Garside. There may have been a brother John. Harry was possibly a gunner who was killed in WW2. And that is about all we know! Any information or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Phyl Only one birth to GARSIDE - BORKINS parentage I did not find a marriage either I found a passenger entry 2nd March 1956 Southampton to New Zealand GARSIDE Alfred B born 6th Jan 1930 136 St Thomas Rd Preston Trainee Telephone mechanic The only Harry GARSIDE who died in service in WW2 was in 1942 and aged 23 so can't be your man I suspect you will need the 1930 birth cert as a starting point to check first names, address, etc Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 25/02/2014 19:57, Phyl Stewart wrote: > Hello All > > I am making enquiries for my son-in-law, who knows very little about the paternal side of his family. > > His father was born in 1930 in Oldham to Catherine Borkins and Harry Garside.

Hi, Phyl, LancashireBMD ( ) has two 'identical' but separate entries with parents GARSIDE, mother BORKINS - Lancashire Birth indexes for the years: 1930 Surname, Forename(s); Sub-District; Registers At; Mother's Maiden Name; Reference GARSIDE Alfred Byrom Oldham East Oldham BORKINS OEAS/49/247 GARSIDE Alfred Byrom Oldham East Oldham BORKINS OEAS/49/299 Possibly the birth was re registered for some reason. If the birth was re-registered you may only be able to obtain the final certificate and are unlikely to be told why the birth was re-registered There is no matching marriage recorded for all Lancashire for the period 1910 - 1940, but LancsBMD is a work in progress. I did not find one on FreeBMD either! Tact and diplomacy may be needed.

His son Andrew is my Great Grandfather and he went to America, got married, came back to England with his wife, Lavinia, in about 1881, then returned to America again where he passed away in Burlington, New Jersey in 1903.

My brick wall was L'ce Jackson Inn Keeper who appeared on his daughter Elizabeth's marriage certificate. I was partly thrown not knowing if he was Lawrence or Lancelot. After years of accepting him as a brick wall I think I found him last night - in a Pigot's directory 1818 where Lawrence Jackson is shown against the Thatched House Tavern in St Thomas Square, Chorely. When I googled this I found another directory entry for Lawrence in 1824 and then one in 1828-9 but this time with Edmund Jackson.... I wonder if this shows there's a link between the two families. They lived close by, they both had Edmunds and both had inns. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
