England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2006

Name: Douglas Pennant T Morrallee
Birth: 10 Jun 1918
Death: Jun 1981 - Biggleswade, Bedfordshire, England

Still don't see a marriage for them and why was Douglas' birth registered with Morrallee as the MMN?


Rose

There is a death for an Emma Woodward that fits with this birth:

Births Sep 1897
Walker Emma Biggleswade 3b 354

Rose

THANK YOU ROSE!
The lady is a Woodward who is from Emma Walker's second marriage after Walter Morrallee died. She told me there was 2 children (as mentioned before)

The family are all from Biggleswade which fits perfectly..

Marriages Jun 1939
Boness Ruby W H Morrallie Biggleswade 3b 998
Morrallie Douglas P T Boness Biggleswade 3b 998

And there's a death that fits for a Douglas Pennant T Morrallee.

Rose

This is the only Douglas I can see:

Births Sep 1918

Rose

Also a Caron, Karen, Michelle, Elaine and Anne?

Rose

I have now found out he married Emma Walker though there is still no marriage certificate.

Anyway apparently he had 2 children with Emma named Douglas Pennant and Violet Ena... thing is i now cannot find their birth, marriage or death certificate on here and unfortunately i do not have access to Ancestry..

Can anyone help??

The British Empire lost more than 700,000 service personnel killed in World War 1. An even greater number were discharged because of wounds or illness. In September 1916, King George V authorized the Silver War Badge (SWB) to honor all military personnel who had served at home or overseas since 4 August 1914 and who had been discharged because of wounds or illness. The SWB was a small, circular badge made of sterling silver, bearing the king’s initials, a crown, and the inscriptions ‘For King and Empire’ and ‘Services Rendered’.
The SWB was not simply an honor; it also served a practical purpose. At the time, men of military age who were not obviously in the service were sometimes accosted or insulted by civilians presenting them with white feathers — a symbol of cowardice — for shirking their patriotic duty. The badge served as an outward symbol that the wearer’s duty to country had been honorably fulfilled.

She could but i haven';t yet contacted her. Would rather have the facts first.

Ann-Marie - can the lady who is Emma's granddaughter give you Emma's surname before she married Walter?
