Tim Sunter's family history

A web log of my family history research

1932 Jane Emma “Auntie Jennie” Sunter marriage

Originally uploaded by timsunter

 

Christmas Eve, 1932 – at 21 years old Auntie Jennie gets married to Uncle Jim Matthews in Solihull.

Jim is an ‘ashman’ by occupation.

Interesting to note that one of the witnesses is Robert Main. Research from Durham Record Office indicated that Jennie was placed in the care of her aunt, Amy Main, a cook at Scorborough Hall, when she left the children’s home. The only Amy I can manage to trace is Emma’s sister, listed in the 1911 census as Amy Dawson – I have not been able to trace Amy and Robert Main getting married though.

In the search for Charles Sunter, Jennie lists her father’s occupation as ‘gardener’. This is the first time I have seen this occupation given for Charles.
