  Notes	Working out details of Sidney's family has been difficult but with the help of his nephew Roy Minter and, in 2024, Wendy Hadley, the following seems to be what happened. 1. Sidney married Beatrice GILBERT in Chesterfield in 1935. They had two daughters: - Eileen M MINTER registered at Chesterfield in Q2 1936 - Sylvia Betty MINTER registered at Bakewell, born on 1 Nov 1937 By the time the 1939 Register was produced, Sidney and Beatrice had evidently split up. Sidney was living at 60 Sheffield Road, Chesterfield: - Minter, Sidney born 10 Dec 1907, married, belt builder in coal mine - --- 1 closed record --- [this probably related to Eileen] - Minter, later BROOKS, then HALE, Sylvia Betty born 1 Nov 1937, below school age. Beatrice was living in High Street, Stoney Middleton, Derbyshire. There are two entries for her. One, which is crossed out with the comment “Re-entered on Page 17” shows Beatrice MINTER born 29 Jul 1914 with Percy GILBERT born 15 Apr 1912 (Beatrice's brother). The second shows BEATRICE MINTER born 29 Jul 1914 followed by two closed records. It's unclear who these two entries were for. 2. Some time after the completion of the 1939 Register, Sidney began a relationship with Edna Valerie CARTER neé Murfin or Murphin*. Edna had married Howard CARTER in 1932 and appeared with him in the 1939 Register at 42 St Helens Street, Chesterfield in a house next to Sidney MINTER's brother Reginald MINTER and his wife Annie. Sidney and Edna two children, Valerie S in 1941and Kenneth Brian in 1947. Both children were registered as both MINTER and CARTER with mother's maiden name as MURPHIN in 1941 and MURFIN in 1947. Sidney and Edna married in 1948, presumably having waited for their divorces to be completed. * It would appear that Edna's surname was properly MURPHIN, the name under which her birth was registered and under which she and her parents and sister were counted in the 1911 census. However, when she married both her first husband and Sidney Minter, the spelling of Edna's surname appears as MURFIN. 3. It's less clear what eventually became of Sidney's first wife. After leaving Sidney, Beatrice had three children. The birth certificates for Gillian Shirley and Yvonne bear no father's name and are endorsed "Adopted" (see the childrens' Notes for details). Curiously, Tony Alfred's birth certificate shows his father's name as Sidney MINTER. Wendy Hadley hasn't found a marriage or death record for Beatrice - it's possible that she married again or changed her name by deed poll.
