If she was in US until July 1926 as Waller and 1927/8 qualified as Teasdale then that should narrow it down a bit.Maybe!

Maryb.

thanks Kay??? but not "my" George Arthur. in Burnley.

I`ve now got a lot to go on thanks to all of you helping so I can have yet another go at finding George and Elizabeth`s wedding--it has to be somewhere!

They both had fascinating lives--what a shame no one of their generation on the Teasdale side knew what had become of him after his first wife died.

I've never heard Elsie/ Elizabeth crossover, but I'm certain they are correct- she is listed as Elsie at her cousin's wedding in 1898 when she and her sisters were bridesmaids. Therefore, I don't think she was recorded wrongly on her first husband's death- but just recorded by the name her family called her.

EDIT: Googling does bring up some cases of Elsie being a shortened form of Elizabeth.

Fiona - re "fibis" - just Google it.

Burnely Express 19th Aug 1950,

Mr Arthur Teasdale gain BSc and intends to study for a doctorate at Burney Municipal College, and is the son of Mrs and the ***late Mr James A Teasdale of 10,Bee St Burnely,****

Edit,,,
Burnley Express 17th Nov 1937,
Teasdale James Arthur,dearly loved husband of May Teasdale,! aged 32.of 5 Mindhead Ave Burnley,,
This must be another Teasdale family but had the same combination of names.?

Derbyshire Times 11th Oct 1935,
court case,,,,,,,,,,

A report of a court dispute between a Mr Pike and a Dr Arthur Teasdale and his wife ***Beatrice Victoria Teasdale***,,the Dr accused of taking liblities on land owned by Mr Pike,,,,,,,,,,the Doctor bought the farm,,Green House in 1921 and made it over to her..horses and ponies belonging to the Dr ate Mr Pike grass........ :-D.


how many DR Teasdales were there......?.

I can`t thank you all enough--all this information and so quickly.
The A. Teasdale is George--he was always known as Arthur. He came from quite humble beginings and went on to become an eminent doctor--Elizabeth obviously came from a privilidged family-- they both had a fascinating life what a shame that they went off the family radar and none of their generation on the Teasdale side knew what had become of them.

lots to look at--the only fly being "Elsie"?, never heard of that being a diminutive of Elizabeth but there`s always a first.
Or the name was recorded wrongly--and that certainly wouldn`t be a first!
Please-what is "fibis"? I`ve been doing this family history stuff for several years but I haven`t come across that term before.

This may also be of interest- it is about the same family (written 2004), but Elizabeth's 1st husband listed as James Walter (I think this is Cyprian Waller as he was known as Jim), and second husband A. Teasdale (which I suppose must be George).

"Thomas Gracey m Mary Grace Ada Gaye in Simla 1875[ The Gaye might have been spelt Guye? See below]. Children included Thomas Gracey[also Indian Railways and RE] b1877 m Agnes Campbell of Devon [later possibly owners of Northcote Manor Nth Devon], Norah Gracey b1881m Reginald D’Arcy Anderson, Elizabeth Helen Gracey b1883 m (1) James Walker (2) A Teasdale, Lily Gracey m BG Lamard-Vachell 1932. (Source Blackwood MSS, Linenhall Lib, Belfast)"

Elizabeth Helen Gracey was the daughter of Thomas and Mary Grace Ada

There are quite a few articles relating to Elizabeth's siblings/ cousins in the papers.


Elizabeth was also known as Elsie- an article in Exeter and Plymouth Gazette - Friday 22 July 1898 describes the wedding of Miss Helen Furnivall- her bridesmaids were her cousins- Mary, Norah, ELSIE and Lily Gracey.

Brother Thomas (b1877) married Agnes Campbell Devon in India 1906

Sister Mary Kathleen (b1879) was tragically killed on the railway in 1902- several papers cover the story and inquest.

Sister Norah (b1881) married Reginald Darcy Anderson in 1907

Youngest sister Lily (b1893) married Benjamin Garnet Lampard-Vachell in 1932. There is a photo of the couple in the Exeter and Plymouth Gazette - Friday 28 October 1932.

The article above is regarding the marriage of Lorna Gracey (Possibly the daughter of Elizabeth's brother, Thomas). I suspect that those gifts were actually from Doctors Teasdale and MRS Waller.

Elizabeth's marriage from the Times of India- so The death of Cyprian in 1915 seems to be the correct person:

I'm not sure who he's travelling with. Either a widow, Mrs V A Sewell, 74,intending to stay in India, or a spinster, Miss D M Shaw, 23, intending to return to England.

AustinQ--what a star, thank you. Please could you tell me how you found her? I thought the only way to do it would be to go back from her marriage to George which is the one I can`t find.
I did wonder if they`d married at sea as they were so fond of travel but I had no luck there either.
George is quite definitely George Arthur James although his name does sometimes appear in different forms which hasn`t helped.
Cyprian Hilton sounds intriguing doesn`t he?
I`ll have to come back to this tomorrow when I`ve digested everything you`ve sent.
thank you all.
