Is there an address for Janine on her birth cert? A long shot that it would help but who knows!
Like you I'm starting to think that she changed her name.

Who are the witnesses on the 1942 marriage certificate? Could they be relatives?

Who were the witnesses at the marriage please. Irene

Its very wierd to be honest, According to my grandad she was born or at least grew up in Liverpool. My uncle was up there and met her. I have tried all sorts of combinations and there nothing!
Sounds a really stupid question but would she have needed her birth cert when getting married? Or could she have said her name was Beryl Austina Danby, my father is Austin and hes a seaman blah blah blah, and they would have taken her word for it?
I find is so strange that no one knows anything about her, not even her daughter. There were no photos of her or the family.. and to take off to Australia with not so much as a good bye is also a bit odd (in my mind anyway!)
I would have thought a name like Austina would stand out!! ... seems that my Jones line is easier to find at times!

Many thanks for your reply

I see what you mean! She seems to be nowhere. I can only think she may have been born abroad maybe? Can't find a thing about Austin either.

I ahave been searching for nearly 4 years for this elusive line on behalf of my grandfather, and my head hurts from banging it against a wall!

My grandfathers brother Donald Ryman married Beryl Austina Danby in 1942, in Horsham ( I have the certificate) . she is 23, and her father is noted as Austin Danby, Seaman.She is believed to have lived in the Cheshire area. They had a daughter called Janine in 1950, they then moved to Australia in in 1963 (with out telling the family!) The trail went cold until last year when Janine stumbled on a post that my grandfather was searching for them. She contacted him but knew as much as we did ... nothing! Her mother and father never talked about the family back in the UK and she has tried searching for info but has also hit the same wall. I can only find one Beryl A Danby but she was born 1942 so that doesnt fit at all. There seems to be no sign of Austin. Sadly bother Beryl and Donald passed away a few years ago in Australia. I have searched just for Beryl A Danby, Beryl Danby around the 1920s with no luck, there are no Austins to be found and I am wondering what to do next. I dont know her mothers name, and I cant find a bith registration so cant send for a birth certificate. I have the marriage cert as I said but that gives me no extra i nsite as they married in Donalds home town. Any idea would be very very greatfully recieved. I would love to give my grandfather some information about the family .

Many thanks


Just to add I have even tried searching Australian records for their deaths and can not find a thing! Am I looking in the wrong place, am I going mad or did they just not want to be found?!
