MARGARET EMMA MANNING

[v.wells]

The best thing to do is order the birth certificate that Jan found to confirm actual date of birth (word of mouth is invariably just that) and her middle name. There are a lot of Margaret's with that word of mouth birth date but it isn't impossible to solve. Did the father leave a Will and mention Margaret? Have you seen the postcard and what does it say?

I have now ordered the birth cert of Margaret Manning, I will then have concrete evidence of her birth date, she was born 1913, I am sure Magaret must have departed this life by now, then I can double check deaths, but like someone has already suggested, Margaret didn't want to be found for her own reasons, very sad for her sister, who every week asks if there is any news

What a very sad story Louisa, I do hope you eventually find a resolution.

Hi Folks
To all the people who have shown an interest in Margaret Emma Manning, this is the latest

Today I have at last received Margaret's birth cert, details as follows
Margaret Emma Manning
born 14/11/1913 in Manor Park
father Thomas Fuller Manning
mother Emma Jane Fuller formerly Shuttle
I have also drafted out a letter to the GRO asking how I can go about a blanket search of marriages and how much they would charge, obviously I cannot spend a great deal but if I know how much it would cost I can proceed, I just want to have some news for her poor sister, hopefully I can find something out, I have 31 marriages for Margaret E Manning, no Margaret Emma pops out, so on and on it goes on

regards

Hi Louisa,

I'd like to throw this birth registration into the pot. If this is Margaret having an illegitimate child, it would have happened when Grace was about 10 years old:

Name: Thomas R Manning
Mother's Maiden Surname: Manning
Date of Registration: Jul Aug Sep 1934
Registration district: Romford
Volume Number: 4a
Page Number: 837

and this death registration:

Name: Thomas R Manning
Death Registration Year: 1935
Age at death: 0
Registration district: Romford
Volume: 4a
Page: 381

This is interesting, I have passed this on to my friend to consider

regards
