Trying to find if Doreen M (Murial?) Pryce B 1900 Kings Heath ever married.

Also the date of birth and date of death of her sister Clarissa Pryce ( born circa 1903) to Clara Edith Price m. George A Pryce as I belive she died aged about 17. Thanks for any information.

Doreen Muriel Pryce b. 4q 1900 Kings Norton ref 6c 414

A Doreen M Pryce m. Reginald A Fisher 4q 1928 Bournemouth ref 2b 1725
No children were found for this couple.

Could not find a birth or death record for a Clarissa Pryce. She was not on the 1911 census either. The Clarissa Pryce on the 1911 and also the 1920 electoral roll was probably Clara's mother who I think died 2q 1925 and listed as Clarissa Price. Are you sure there was a younger Clarissa?
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

Thank you so much for all this help and looking up on my behalf. I shall go back and look at the family notes. It was another cousin who told me that there was a younger daughter that died at 17 but will check.

Another look up puts Clarissa Price as dying in 1911 aged 66 (ie the grandmother) and I was sent info that there was a Clara Pryce and also a Clarissa Pryce on the 1920 electorial roll.

1911 census
Death registered --
Clarissa M Price 1st qtr 1911 King's N 6c 451
The 1911 Census was taken on the 2nd of April Aged 66


If the death record for a Clarissa Pryce is 1925 that would put her as beign born in 1907/08 and fits with the 'breeding' time for the other brothers and sisters and with the early death story of this child. Also mother was Price and this Clarissa was a Pryce as Clara Price married George A Pryce. Strange though that her birth is not registered. Does the record say Price as maybe there was a spelling mistake? I take it there are no ages recorded on the death record and that I would ahve to order the death certificate to check?
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

It all depends on who was the informant of the death, if not a family member they might not of known that Price was Pryce , or that the registrar did not ask how it was spelt.
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

Very true Mike but can we find a birth record this Clarissa Price (Pryce) as that would indicate age. If she was indeed around 17 that would mean date of birth should appear in Birmingham around 1908 ish but Icarus says he cannot find said birth. Can someone check again to be sure?
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

Hi there, there was a Clarissa PrIce death reg 2nd Q 1925 Birmingham vol 6d,page 49,but she was aged 79.
There was a birth reg of a Clara PrIce reg 4th Q 1905 Aston vol 6d page 210.
The only young death of a Clara PrYce that I found was in 1919 at Merthyr T (4th Q vol 11a page 708) and she was 15.(birth reg 1904 2nd Q vol 11a page 803)
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

No this lot deffinitely lived in Birmingham. The Clarissa Price death at 79 is the wrong age for my great-grandmother or her daughter Clara E Price and anyway I already have the later's death in 1911. Clara Price Aston is the right time and area. this is the post that started it off.
1920
On the Electoral roll are Clarissa Edith Pryce, Arthur Cedric Howes Pryce, Clarissa Pryce, James Small at 8 Springfield Rd, Moseley & Kings Heath Ward.

So I suppose the question is who is this Clarissa PrYce?
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

Darr

On the 1881 census (I haven't checked other censuses), Clarissa Pryce is shown as being born 1846. This is also confirmed on the 1911 census. So her death in 1925, age 79, ties in precisely. That's the reason I suggest that the Clarissa on the 1920 ER is Clara's mother and not her daughter. Or are you saying this is a different family?

John M. Pryce 40
Clarissa Pryce 35
Arthur S. Pryce 17
Clara E. Pryce 12
Geo. W. Pryce 10
Jessie M. Pryce 8
Hellen G. Pryce 6
John P. Pryce 5
Clarissa M. Pryce 3
Lizzie E. Pryce 1
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

Goodness I am messing you about. This is definitely the correct family. Someone on another thread (Darr/Price) gave me 1911 as Clarissa senior's date of death. I will correct this now and check.

Dare I ask you if there is a date of death for John P. Pryce 5 as he doesn't appear on later census info and I have no further records of him?

I think the thing that is confusing is that she SHOULD have been PrIce. At some point the family changed their name to Price with an I from Pryce with a Y. No idea why but it makes for much confusion!
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

No definitely correct family. In the Darr Price thread someone gave me 1911 as Clarissa Price's death date so I was assuming that. I shall now correct my records and re-check the post.

Is there a date of death for John P. Pryce 5 as he seems to have disappeared by the 1901 census.

 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

Could not find any record of death for John/John P/John Percival Price or Pryce relevant to his age. No military or post-1881 census either. Maybe he ran away to sea or something.
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

Ha Ha I don't think so. I know there was a son that died really young. Is there any reason a death would not be registered? If you want to read a bit of Price family humour see Radio Transcript for WW11 that I put on today of Leonard Price another brother.
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

If Icarus' 1881 Census is correct then here are the family in 1891 and PRICE Clarissa now the head is a widow. Also young John and Lizzie are not on there... The older boys were maybe married by then

Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

Thank you yes, you are quite right about all of it. I did have these dates but not in so much detail, so thank you and it is John Mathew, great grandfather that died in 1888 as I have his death cert.

Young John must have died in childhood as he doesn't appear again after about 5-6 years old but no one could find a death record for him. Lizzie Ethel was away at boarding school (see Darr Price thread). The mystery is that no death record is there for John Percival Price (sometimes spelt Pryce). Do you know of any circumstances that they would not register the death of a child?
 
Re: , Doreen M Pryce B1900 Kings Heath. Marriage

Dear Pom,

Yes, I have these dates it was just a question of why no death registered for John Percivla Price (sometimes spelt Pryce). He appears on an earlier record at the age of five and then nothing. I wondered if any of the experts knew of any reason his death would not be recorded.

Also if you are Australian, any idea how one can trace relatives in Australia. Two of the Price siblings went there the oldest Arthur Duke Pryce and much later his sister Helen Gertrude Price...spelling had changed by then for some reason.
