My now deceased Grandmother Alice Beatrice( Eade) Kershaw (born Alice Beatrice Brooks)
married a Salvation army man called Frank Gaunt in the 1960's. They lived in Lancashire near Morecombe and were regular church goers. Does anyone have any family links with Mr Gaunt?

You were asking about her on another thread when she married John Kershaw in her maiden name of Eade

Best to stick to one thread

I was looking for a death for her as Kershaw not knowing she had remarried

Not sure now what you are looking for in regard to both husbands

I notice you have her on your tree as Alice B Kershaw, born 1905... but she wouldn't have been Kershaw . and I am not seeing a birth, do you have that please.

Was Alice really 46 when she married for the first time to Kershaw? or is the name Eade from a previous marriage.

Lucy, to be able to help we need all the info you have :-)

Was wondering that too Rose as she is stated as 46 on marriage she would a bit older to be starting a family to become a grandmother later

Lucy Report 1 Nov 2015 09:18

Unfortunately she was widowed three times, outlived all her husbands!
Married Arthur Frank Eade who died
Then in 1951 she married John Kershaw
He also died and she then married Frank Gaunt in 1966

I have her on my tree as Alice Beatrice Brooks her maiden name but have also added her as Alice Beatrice Eade and Alice Beatrice Kershaw as amateur researchers like myself may not realise she had re-married.
I was hoping to find some of the Kershaw and Gaunt family who may have known her or part of the tree.

Your best bet is to get the marriage certs for the ages and father's names of her husbands..you can then look for families of each if them to see if they had any siblings etc

Don't think descendents are going to come to you as they may not have followed her later life

Presumably this one? so you would need to confirm her age, as this is different to what you have on your tree,

( Edit you do need to check because Alice B Brooks is not coming up in your tree via search, only Eades and Kershaw.)

Births Dec 1901 (>99%)
Brooks Alice Beatrice W. Ham 4a 168

I think you will need to buy some certs as Shirley suggests :-)

It really would have helped to know her maiden name at the outset, at least it would have meant dob could probably be confirmed,

"Alice Beatrice Brooks
« on: Saturday 03 December 05 02:10 GMT (UK) »
I have on my family tree Alice Beatrice Brooks who was married to Arthur Frank Eade in 1924.
Her father is listed as James William Brooks (deceased)
I think Alice was born around 1904.
Is there any kind of census or info where i can find her with her family?
The 1881 census shows a James William Brooks living in Darcy Dever, Lancashire and there is a probability that he is Alices father."

Rambling Report 1 Nov 2015 12:28

So where and when was Alice born?

"Lucy Report 5 Dec 2005 18:49
Elsie Brooks - Bristol I'm trying to find Elsie Brooks from Bristol who is the daughter of James Brooks and Elsie Brooks. My Grandmother Alice Beatrice Brooks was the sister of Elsie Brooks who married James. Lucy"

"http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/trying_to_find/thread/520561"

edit, I'm not trying to be awkward but the reason I am stressing the importance of her birth date and location is that any member of the Gaunt or Eade or Kershaw or Brooks family who search on here will probably be looking for a specific year and place of birth.

Frank Gaunt, John Kershaw...do you have the marriage certs for age, occupations, and father's names? That way we can see if they may have had siblings.

From the other thread

"Lucy Report 1 Nov 2015 14:43
John Kershaw lived in Keighly, Yorkshire when he was married to my Grandmother.
His daughter Vera and two unknown sons from a previous marriage lived away from home as they were grown up by the time John Married my Grandmother"

Looks likely there were four children born Keighley to the first marriage of John Kershaw, incl Vera, can be found on freebmd,mmn Cartwright
