Coventry - Hall

[IreneH]

Anyone got any Coventrys in their trees. My uncle married Gladys Ethel Coventry b. 1917, 1st June 1945. Her father was Arthur Henry Coventry. They were married at St Paul's Church Camberley, Surrey. And that is all I have on her family. Uncle Frank bought Gladys back to NZ after they married, he had been a POW for four years. Anyone able help to shed some light on Gladys's family.

Hope this helps Gladys E 1917 jan feb mar mother Windsor she is the only one in 1917 BMD did she have any siblings Val

Hi Val,

Thanks for that. Her mother's name was Windsor? I know very very little about her, even though she was my aunt, so I can't tell you if she had siblings or not. All I know is what is on her marriage certificate. I never meet her as far as I known (maybe as a toddler).

Hi Val,
I'm back again.
I've just spent God knowns how long messing about on a number of sites and now have Gladys's mother full name. She was Ethel M.E. Windsor! Don't know what the M.E. stands for yet, but that not a problem. It always amazes me that one little piece of information can open a whole bag of worms and lead you to alsorts of other informtion. :)

Thanks again

Irene

Happy to help will have another look tomorrow Val

Hi Val,

This is the information I've got so far - and its not making too much sense yet.

Arthur H. Coventry m Ethel M. E. Windsor 1912. FreeBMD

Arthur H. Coventry b. Willesden 1889. Census 1891

Ethel M.E.Windsor b. Hempton 1881. Census 1881 1 month old.

James Windsor b. 1859 Henden and Marion ? b 1861 Hampstead are Ethel's parents.

Now is this the same Ethel and Arthur? At first glance I would say yes but, she is 10 years older than he is?? Possible.

What do you think?

Irene

[IreneH]

Sorry! James was b. Kilburn 1859.

Hi Irene
Have had a quick look and he could be 10years younger ie;23 at marrage.
there is an Arthur in 1879 but not the right place
James windsor d 1896 jan feb march have you got this for james will go back and look for james + marions m Val


Back again could not find marion's maiden name found a marriage for james m1880 HENDON oct nov dec 3a 214 no wife,s name.If you like i will ask on GR to see if there is another way to look for it sorry not much help Val

[IreneH]

No, I hadn't started on the deaths though that fits with when his last son was b. 1894 as James doesn't show up in 1901. His wife Marion is listed as Maria, just to confuse things further! Be nice to know what he died of as he would not have been 37. Marion/Maria was b. it seems in 1861 Hampstead Golden Sq, according to the 1901 vensus. What or where is Golden Square in Hampstead?

many thanks Val.
