Hello Margaret,
Thankyou for the E mail. My Father's first wife was from
England and known to him from childhood, their Father's had been in business
together. The thought had been that possibly this was a child she had before
they married, but I have a had researcher in London who has searched for any
child with her Maiden Surname, which was CHEESEBROUGH, but he has not been
able to find any registration of a child with that name for that Mother.
Obviously if the child's surname had to be changed to RENNEY, he was not born
to my Father in any marriage situation.
It almost seems that the child had to be picked up immediatly, otherwise he
surely would not have taken his very pregnant wife on such a trip.
Although their twins were born aboard ship, their birth certificates list
Middlesbrough, N. Yorks as their place of birth and no ship mentioned at all.
Maybe that was the way it was done in those days, but it keeps me from
looking through ships passenger records, if I can't find the Ships name.
Very Frustrating !!!
Thankyou, Pam [ RENNEY ] in Arizona.
