Walter Herrington and Ella Marion, Napanee - Information?
Walter Herrington is my 2nd great grandfather via his daughter Jean Marguerite Herrington. Now, I found his name through the death certificate for Marion Herrington, his daughter, who died of scarlet fever at a young age. On said certificate, it lists the mother's name as Ella Marion but I am having issues trying to find any information on the two. All of the Walter Herringtons I have found through other documentation have all been married to other people. And I have had no luck searching for Ella Marion.
If anyone has some information on who their parents were, when they married, or just anything, I would be extremely grateful.

Hi, What is the Time Frame - you are researching.
Your GGrandfather was Walter HERRINGTON - his daughter , your Grandmother Marguerite HERRINGTON?
Death of daughter Marion HERRINGTON - dcd scarlet fever - When? what was her age ? Mothers name - shown as Ella Marion.
Family Search Org - shows Marion - born aprox 1922 - dcd May 19 1935. age 13 years.
There were 2 daughters born to Walter - is it possible that he married twice - thus perhaps different names for the mothers of the children.
What information do you have for Jean Marguerite HERRINGTON - BIRTH - depending on time and requirements of the time - will show name of parent/ s
MARRIAGE REGISTRATION for Jean Marguerite HERRINGTON - will show the names of the parents of both Bride and Groom - and include maiden names of the mothers
REGISTRATIONS of DEATH - will show personal information - including names of parents etc - as known to the informant.

Walter Herrington was my GGGrandfather. Jean was my GGrandmother.
Jean was born 1 November 1923 in Fredericksburg and died 16 September 2011. She was married to William Joseph Carl Clark (b. 7 December 1922, d. 25 February 1994). Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything on birth and marriage since the records are too recent for the databases. Her obituary is the only form of death recognition I have and only siblings are mentioned on there.
It's funny that you mentioned that Walter only had 2 daughters, since I know for a fact she had 3 sisters, including Marion (the others are Mary Herrington and June Pansy Herrington). Upon finding that June's middle name is Pansy, it makes me think about the marriage record of Water Herrington to Pansy Helen Galt, and wonder if that is a possibility. It is also possible he was married twice. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure.

Re: Walter HERRINGTON and Ella Marion, Napanee - Information?
You can get the birth and marriage registration of your great grandmother as you are a direct relative. It will cost you though. Maybe Ella Marion was a first and second name with Marion not being her last name. Having said that I still haven't found her. Re name Pansy. There is a Pansy Beryl Herrington, 21, b Napanee d/o Albert Herrington and Rosalind Carr who married Stewart Thompson. Maybe that is who June Pansy is named after. Walter Herrington who married Pansy Galt does not have the same parents. His are William Herrington and Carrie Cornwall. They were married 1920. Walter Herrington, with parents listed as William Herrington and Carrie Cornwall Herrington, also married a Lila Winifred Miles 22 Jan 1917. Lila Herrington died 29 Oct 1918 of pneumonia. Doesn't look like they had any children.
Walter Harold Gould Herrington was in WW1, b 14 May 1897 at Napanee. Next of kin: father W S Herrington of Napanee. He enlisted 6 Jan 1916.
All this hasn't been of any help to you finding out who Ella Marion was.

Re: Walter HERRINGTON and Ella Marion, Napanee - Information?
I agree 100% that the name on the death record "Ella Marion" is most likely Marion Herrington's full given name and when Walter was filling out the form, he wrote that instead of writing in his wife's name, i.e.) name of Marion's mother. And yes, the Walter who married Pansy Galt had first been married to Lila Miles. I think that the mother to Marion (and to Bill, Donald, Mary, Jean, June and John) was Pansy Galt. The Walter Herrington who was born May 14 1898 married Lillian FAIR in 1925. As you have already suggested, the best thing to do here for confirmation of Jean or Marion's parents is to get their birth reg.'s. We don't have access to those records yet here at Ancestry (only up to 1913).

Re: Walter HERRINGTON and Ella Marion, Napanee - Information?
Thank you for the help, That is very possible that he wrote the wrong name. People get confused with forms all the time, Pansy Galt seems like the right option but confirmation would be fantastic. I'll try and see if I can get access to birth registry outside of ancestry, even if I have to pay.
