Family 2

Note*

Ref (Bev Moore)

There were two children on the Victorian Birth Indexes where a Marion Ainsworth was listed as the mother but no father was named. They were:
Matilda Louisa b. 1882
We know Matilda was adopted by her Marion's parents.
Georgina Tait Ainsworth
b. 1884 Hamilton
d. 1884 Hamilton

The only marriage I have so far found for Marion was to
Fred York as stated above.
A Fred Noake York died in 1900, aged 43, at the Bairnsdale Hospital. Could this have been Marion's husband?
Next - A Mary York married John Maginnes (note spelling) in 1911, Mary gave her birthplace as Heywood.
To further confuse the issue:
A William Maginnes (spelling change again) died in 1949 at East Malvern, aged 58. His parents were given as Frederick York and Marion Ainsworth.

Note another change in spelling when Marion's death was registered - this time McGinnes.

Spouse:     Fred YORK
Birth Place:     USA

Spouse Notes:
A Fred Noak York died in 1900 at the Bairnsdale Hospital, aged 43.
Could this be the Fred who married Marion Ainsworth?

Marriage Date:     1892

Other Spouses     John MAGINNES.
