Have just sent his granddaughter a message asking if Fredrick and Marjorie were married or not.

Thing is ..I don't know how long I'll have to wait for a reply...or even if she knows the answer.

Sorry Susan....was looking else where....you know how it is..get distracted..lol



As you mentioned Oz..I do have relations in Oz also...lol

I have an aunt who imigrated to Oz in 1960..i think she was one of those £10 poms.

She married a guy called Carr..and had 4-5 kids I think. They left for Oz onboard the RMS Orontes.

Small world when you start looking at family..lol.
The granddaughter of Fleet who I told yoo about...her mother Madeleine married twice..!.. one of her husbands is Greek!.....lol...

I originally started out looking to find scottish blood in the family...but yet so far have found Australian, American and Greek!...lol..MAD!

Yes Reading is probably the closest chance. as my mother was born in Reading...yet I have not found the marriages to match those I have found in Reading...very strange.

WICKS Jack L Hyrrell Reading 2c 599

Wicks Jack Fuller Reading 2c 502

Those are the ones I was looking at..but cant find the marriages for those!..hence my call for help on the board.

The same guy turns up 10years earlier!

Births Sep 1911
Wicks Jack L Tyrrell Wokingham 2c 781

Same name..place ..but mothers name is Tyrrell..not Hyrrell...but I believe that one died very soon after birth..so the second one must be the same people..yet the mothers name is now Hyrrell.

Whats going on there.?

CRIPES_A_MIGHTY Report 31 Aug 2008 09:43

I have been looking for the marriages between
Wicks and Fuller..and ..Wicks and Hyrrell.

But cant find them!....very strange...

Again..maybe they were not married?

Makes it also tricky finding the right info...

Wicks Jack Fuller Reading 2c 502

Because Reading fits....age would be right..only 6 years older than Marjorie...I find women married older men in those days...Maybe she was looking for a more fatherly figure for a husband?
Plus he doesn't appear to have a middle name..

I know its a little guessing...but my hunchies have payed off well so far in my searching...so I have faith in my guess work..lol
