Looking for help and a look up for Margaret Farrington.

Hi Darry,
Lets hope your reply from Wigmore Hall will arrive soon, it may help with the time scale of her whereabouts . In the meantime still hoping for help with the look up for the Frank Porter to Margaret Warrington or Farrington marriage at St Columba in 1919 .

Nice one Holly you done good for us

Just what we needed, she is deffo not "Our Peggy" so we can discount all the Cope connections in the Tuebrook district, So back to the drawing board detectives!!

Hi Sharon was hoping by now Darry may have heard some news from Wigmore Hall . If she played there then they may have info as to under what name she was known to them - Farrington or Pollington .

If Margaret's mother change all the other children's names and I think rightly so, then wouldn't the grandparents have asked her to change Margaret's as well .
Was wondering if they were not christened /baptised here in Liverpool could there mother Adaline arranged for this in to take place in Lincoln, prior to the family going to SA . Perhaps Darry may have already followed this up .
Glad Holly was able to help out with the look up, agree with Tina she's a Gem

Time to get our Sherlock hats on .

Cheers.
Doreen .

Hi All, been on Ancestry tonight looking for Marriages in the name of Margaret Pollington's, assuming that Adeline did change all of the children's names .

Think this is the most interesting one to be found so will post tonight just in case the gremlins target my PC again .

1944 Dec Qtr, At Aldershot
Margaret A Pollington vol 2a page 558 .
Alexander Theriault (ref as above )

Aldershot did have a temporary airfield, think it was used to fly the troops out during the war, so if this is the Margaret and her new husband did they hitch a flight from here .

Had a quick look at www.familysearch.org searched for Alexander Therialt, no age and no place , bingo, of all places Canada shows a strong concentration of the name .

Tina, haven't checked out familysearch re:- possible Polish THERIAULT'S on the 1881 Canadian census, think the name could have French origins, what do you think .

Got to go now .
Night

[Tina]

Morning All
Tks to Holly.
Yes it's French Doreen according to surname finder. Ancestry has a few listed in Jersey.
The Polish connection is interesting as there were so many young men from Poland who flew with the RAF in WW2. Along with many Canadians.
I like your Aldershot marriage.
1881 Canadian census has a number of Alexander Theriault's all bn New Brunswick, ethnic French.
All Resources has nothing in Poland, England or Channel Isls.
Where do we go from here?
Did Margaret remarry??
Tina

[doreen]

Tina, thanks for looking, hadn't thought about Ancestry for the surname finder .

Think the next step is a possible second marriage, if the above is her she would have been 31 ish in 1944 .

Was wondering if Darry had found anymore info .....

Going for my third cuppa, heavy rain all through the night and more expected .

[Tina]

Hiya All
There is a book about Wigmore Hall.
I emailed a Paula Best who is Head of Publications & Archives.
Received a lovely reply.
I've answered giving Margaret's details, both surnames and approx time frame. Fingers crossed.
They are in the throes of indexing old programmes.
Tina

[doreen]

Great Tina,
Been searching on and off for possible remarriage under name of Theriault 1946-1960 -Found Nowt .
Checked for a possible birth 1944-1946 found one but wrong mother !!

James P Theriault, Mother Boyes, 1945 dec qtr, Liverpool N, 8b 797 .

Will see if I can find a Theriault marriage here in Liverpool, surely there can't be a Liverpool connection between the Theriault's and Ward's

Think Darry must be on Hols .

Add: Marriage for Violet Boyes to James H Theriaut at Samford jne qtr 1945
so maybe came to Liverpool to live .

Also a bit of a ? mark about Margaret's marriage checking out the above Theriault's marriage noticed under Pollington it stated or wooser, could this mean a previouse marriage to 1944 .

Think there will have to be a recheck for Wooser

Cheers
Doreen

[Tina]

Hi Dor
Oh this genie lark...
There's a whole lot of info thro Google for Wooser's...
I'm too hot to be bothered, 41.3 in the shade.
I've put ice cubes in the dogs water bowl.
Chat later, sorry
Tina

[doreen]

Morning All,
Tina, can't stand the heat but would love some sunshine, dark and damp here , proper hang mans day as my Mum used to say, but we had the smoke from the chimneys to add to the gloom in those days .

If there was a marriage in England it will have to be a matter of elimination, will see what turns up .

Bye, will try later .

Doreen

[Tina]

Thanks Doreen for lovely memories.
This is one tough nut to crack about Margaret.
"Wouldn't it be luverley" if the Uncle who brought her back/or rescued her/or paid her fare/ had left a diary/ notes??
Perhaps we need to look more at him?
The grandp's could have passed away by this time and he felt obliged to help. He must have known Margt as a kiddie do you think?
So many questions with this one.
As you say Darryd could be on hols.
Thanks me dear
Tina

[doreen]

Tina, think it was Margaret's uncle Ernest who gave her help , yes it "Would be luverly" if such documents could be found . Perhaps her grandparents or even Ernest left Wills . The National Archives hold indexes
of the likes up to about 1943, 1858 and before can be searched online .

Been looking at Margaret's uncles on the 1891 -1901 census think these are their marriages .
1907 Dec qrt
Ernest George L Pollington at Edmonton 3a 828
Spouses on same page Annie Louis? Lang or Beatrice Worrell .

1910 Mar qtr
Richard H Pollington at Grimsby 7a 1204
Spouses on the same page Annie Denniss or Emily Smith .

1915 Sep qtr .
Edwin A Pollington at Edmonton 3a 1452
Spouse Bertha A Watts .

1917 Mar qtr
Robert J Pollington at Lincoln 7a 786 .
only spouse's surname given - Willis .

Edmonton is about 7 miles to the north east of London, if Ernest was living there at the time he helped Margaret she could have also stayed in the area .

Still trying to find the Wooster - Pollington marriage , sorry typo on my previous post - Tina and you googled

Night

[Darryd]

Hi gang

Sorry the long delay in any contact but the pc went belly up and then my hubby and me went to try and settle in Ireland. We spent 3 months there in sub zero weather and came/ran back to SA in December. We still prefer the high 30's to the freezing minus degree weather and the rain.

Aunt Margret still hasnt sent me a Christmas or a birthday card and I am getting worried she has cut me out of her will, LOL.

Serious you girls are the greatest on the scent trail but I wonder if some one can help with a look up (mother, father etc) for the following seen on Freebmd.

Marriages Mar 1931

Cope George R Farrington Liverpool 8b 134

Farrington Margaret Cope Liverpool 8b 134

Porter Margaret Cope Liverpool 8b 134

You may have already covered this ground and I missed it but it has a smell of being the same lady. The multiple "transactions" may have been the result of her first young marriage and then the divorce and the remarriage.

Can anyone help?

Back to the kitchen for a while.

Thanks ladies,

[Hilary]

If anyone is willing to do a marriage look up they have to know the name of the church. The references you have given refer to the GRO Index and are what you would give the GRO if you wished to purchase the certificates. Have a look on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk to see if any on the marriages appear there and give a church. Then it may be possible for a look up to be done.

Perhaps you could glance at this post http://liverpool-genealogy.org.uk/phpBB ... php?t=6937 where there are guidelines as to what may and may not be looked up.

[Hilary]

If you look on www.lancashirebmd.org.uk you will see that in 1931 Gerge R Cope married a lady called Margaret whose name at that time was either Farrington or Porter. The marriage is either at a Register office or a Registrar attended marriage and the only way to see the certificate is to purchase it.

Looking again at the site for a Farrington marrying a Cope you then find that Margaret Farrington married a Frank Porter at St Columba church in 1919. You would need to check the Liverpool Record Office catalogue to see if they have St Columba registers and then it might be possible that someone was prepared to do a look up for you.

Darryd, the marriage of Cope to a Margaret Farrington was proven not to be your Margaret .

According to a post by Folatre who who was also researching the family Margaret was adopted by her grandparents and her name became Margaret Pollington .
Any marriage for her would be in the name of Pollington and not here in Liverpool .
If you use the search option, type in Folatre this will give the posts he made .

Good Luck

Hi

I am really confused with all these people

Thomas Herbert Farrington married Adeline Mable Ward 1902

around 1911ish they lived in Anfield..with two children Francis John born 1905 & Isabel born 1908..the same couple had Edyth 1913 & Margaret 1913..then they had Charles 1918 & Jean 1918 another set of twins.

were does Polingtons fit in ???

[Folatre]

Hello All, This is Folatre mem no. 7452. I have been away from the fray whilst I closed down my business in South Africa and moved back to England where I now live in a lovely village called Briston in North Norfolk.
I have tried to find our old forum "Cant prove who my Liverpool Mother was" to no avail. It seems that it has been deleted.
I will return to this forum once I have read my secretary's notes (a very willing secretary!)
In the meantime, Tina did you receive any useful information from Wigmore Hall about Margaret?
