Mabel Emily Askew Hazledine McInnes

[Anstey Nomad]

Mabel Emily Askew Hazledine was born in Southwell District in Nottinghamshire in the September Quarter of 1901. Her father, Harry Hazledine, had been a baker’s apprentice in Walesby, Nottinghamshire, along with my Grandad, and her mother was my Grandad’s twin sister, Kate Rowbotham.

Harry and Kate had married in Newark District in the September Quarter of 1900.

By 1911, Harry and Kate had three living children and one who had died, but who I have never been able to identify. They were living in Ashton under Lyne at this point, but not for long because the following year they emigrated to Canada.

In the mid 1920s, Mabel married ‘Mac’ McInnes in Leroy, Saskatchewan. I think Mac’s first name may have been John and he may have worked in a bank. They had children and ended up in British Columbia, somewhere near Vancouver.

The line through Mabel’s brother Harold is complete and her sister Ivy Noel died young from cancer. I'm now stuck with Mabel and no idea where to go.

Has anybody done any Canadian research?

Re the apparently 'missing' child; don't you think he/she might have been stillborn? The form was originally filled in as three children born alive (as there are three children in the household), three children still living (for the same reason) but then one who has died (perhaps because one child was buried). then whoever made the 'correction' just corrected the wrong number?

[Anstey Nomad]

Could be. Would there be a birth/death record if the child was stillborn?

[Merry]

No. The stillbirth register wasn't introduced until 1927. :(

There's always the chance of finding a burial record in a local cemetery.

Indeed. I know where they were in 1911. Harry and Kate were married on 8 September 1900, so they should be together on the 1901, but I can't find them!

I'm not even going to ask how you found them. I spent my lunch break trying every combination I could think of - nothing.

Anyway, Edwinstowe in 1901, but in Ashton under Lyne by SQ 1904 when Harold was born. Sadly, that's not enabling me to identify another child, so perhaps you're right.

What I do know now though, is that Mabel's husband, John McInnes, came originally from Edinburgh, and that they had two daughters. I have never been able to find any trace of that family.

[Anstey Nomad]

Unless, thinking aloud here, Beth is Beth Isabel Maraun, née McInnes, born 1929, which sounds about right, died October 2003 in British Columbia. Just can't get into any of the obits that are coming up.

[kiterunner]

This is the cached copy of the obituary, AN, but I don't think this is the person you are looking for. But can I ask whether you know for sure that Mabel's children aren't still alive, please? If you're not sure then we should remove their names from your post.

At last! Found something!

On FamilySearch: British Columbia Death Registrations
John McInnes, died 30 Mar 1967 Vancouver, British Columbia, age 76, married, dob 25 Jan 1891, Scotland, father John McInnes, mother's maiden name Thomson, spouse Mabel Hazelton.

You can view the image of his death certificate and it has his daughter as the informant - I won't post her name up on here pending reply to my question in post #10.

And on ancestry they have Mabel Emily McInnes's death in the British Columbia, Canada, Death Index, died 14 Mar 1988, Vancouver, age 86. No death cert image available on there though, and 1988 isn't included in the BC deaths on FamilySearch.

[kiterunner]

I sent you a PM last night, AN, with the following information:

"If you view the image of John McInnes' death cert, the informant is his daughter E Askin of Richmond, BC.

On ancestry I assume this is her with her husband on the 1965 Canadian voters' list at 4263 Bond Street, Richmond: Askin, William, salesman, and Askin, Mrs Elizabeth, bank clerk.

On the 1962 voters' list they are at 2478 Fourth Avenue West, Vancouver: Askin, William G, auto salesman, and Askin, Mrs Elizabeth I, bank clerk."

This morning I have found their obituaries:

I have amended #10, just in case the other daughter is still alive.

I don't know how you've done it, but you've done it again. The grand daughters are on FB, so I'll pursue that route now.

Interesting though that the source of my information, who was present at Mabel adn John's wedding, was pretty much spot on.

Thanks again.
