Hi all,

Help I have a Edward / Edwin Styzaker who died after being returned from France - lunatic, his pension was applied for in 1916, I am unable to find any death record for him.

His wife May Elizabeth (Tinsley) is a mystery too, she was born in 1887/8 and according to her marriage certs her fathers name was Frank - but as yet I find nothing.

Any help from you professionals out there would be great!

Thanks:confused:
 
on ancestry family trees there are quite a few people researching your family but unfortunately none have edwins death or marys parents. the ancestry for edward/edwin goes back quite a way but nothing for his wife.
i expect you know all this anyway

Could this be the family STYZAKER in 1891?
1891 Census

Place: Birmingham -Warwickshire
Civil Parish: Birmingham
Ecclesiastical Parish: St George
Address: 6 Hospital St. The Angel

Surname First name(s) Rel Status Sex Age Occupation Where Born STYZAKER John Head M M 29 Engine Fitter(Em'ee) Co. Durham - W. Hartlepool
STYZAKER Margaret Wife M F 27 Warwickshire - Birmingham
STYZAKER Edward Son - M 8m Warwickshire - Coventry
MURPHY Lawrence Boardr S M 51 Bricklayers Labourer(Em'ee) Unknown - N.K

This looks like a possible for May's birth
[SIZE=+1]Births Dec 1887 [/SIZE]
TINSLEY May Elizabeth Worcester 6c295

This looks like a possible for May's father
1881 British Census
Anne HARPER Head W Female 44 Coventry, Warwick, England Silk Warper Frank TINSLEY Son U Male 16 Coventry, Warwick, England Clerk
Address 32 Cox St
Census Place Coventry Holy Trinity, Warwick, England

This looks like Ann 's remarriage to Mr Harper after Frank's father's death, who had also made her a widow by 1881

[SIZE=+1]Marriages Jun 1874 [/SIZE]
Harper Joseph Coventry 6d687
Tinsley Ann Coventry 6d687

Hope this is of help to you

Please bear with my ramblings, I think better this way.

from 1891 John Tinsley changes age and place of birth.
before 1891 I cannot seem to find John Tinsley around that age
BUT
Frank Tinsley had a brother Harry John born Coventry 1861 and I cannot find him after 1881.
Strange eh?

Was unmarried Mary having Franks baby and he died but his brother married her possibly after the baby was born?

Certificates may help.
 
Hello

Thanks, most of the trees on ancestry are mine or people I have met whilst doing research but thanks and any more info would be great.

For the info regarding TINSLEY, I am amazed but being a novice I would never of been able to put this together without all your help!

Please please please help further in any way - my tree is on ancestry. NEW TREE MARCH 2008 - JUST SEARCH FOR EDNA STYZAKER - you should find it that way =

WOW SO IMPRESSED THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
