This post was too complicated and included too many people. Disregard this one and check out my most recent post, hopefully it makes more sense.

Free BMD have only one child listed with maiden name
Elizabeth E born march qtr 1921.

Hello Arleta and welcome,
Background for the crew....
Marriages Mar 1872: Bellis, Anna & Greaves, William - Birkenhead - 8a - 644.

Arleta, do you have this marriage cert to confirm it is the right marriage? Since you haven't said if you have this couple and their family in any census.....

No children found to this marriage in Cheshire but there are these two....
CHADBURN, Eric - nee Greaves - Nottinghamshire, Mansfield - 1920
CHADBURN, Joan M - nee Greaves - Nottinghamshire, Mansfield - 1921
Doubtful because the mother would have been in her mid-40s.

There are a couple of possible deaths for Mary E up to 1976...
CHADBURN, Mary E - Lancashire, Manchester - 1940 - aged 65.
CHADBURN, Mary E - Nottinghamshire, Nottingham - 1954 - aged 76.

Hi Arleta
My suggestion is to list what you know about family, census, marriages etc,.
Perhaps split the post and go with one family at a time.
It can be very confusing to have 7 families to search.
As D.S has kicked off with Greaves family, perhaps we will continue with them in this post?
It's just a thought and will certainly help our genies research.
Some of us have Directories which we can post info from e.g 1938.
Cheers

Hi Arleta,
Tina beat me to it... Hi Tina, with her suggestion to go after just one or two lines at a time. Often best to concentrate efforts on just one line for a while to see how far you/we can get, then switch to the next one.

For instance, your subject line is a little heavy on the 'information overload' side. Reducing it to one or two names will help folk concentrate. When you post tell us what certs you have and what census information you already have. If you post actual dates tell us where that information came from, the source [a cert or family hearsay]. When you have found a family in a census give us the summary page reference like this one: RG11 - Piece: 3586 - Folio: 54 - Page: 43

Good luck

Good post D.S

Nice one yourself T!
