Hi

I now have Thomas Mansfield and Eliza Youngs marriage cert which show they were married 17/05/1880 in Lambeth ages look like 29 and 24. He was a Potters Burner. I can find them in the 1881 census. But I can't find his birth. The certificate I ordered was for a Thomas Mansfield born 17/05/1853 in Lambeth - this would make him too young for the marraige cert I have.

I would be grateful if someone could check for me.

Thanks

I should have it in the next few days,

Karen

Have you got a copy of Thomas & Eliza's Marriage Cert yet as this will show Thomas' father's occupation. It could be that you have the wrong birth certificate

I don't think this is the right one I know his son born abt 1881 Thomas J Mansfield died in 1917 and he had married an Eliza Young who was born in Plimico.

And from I'm told Thomas abt 1852 worked at the potteries in Lambeth?

I think that Thomas Mansfield b 1853 married Jane Wood in Jun qtr 1874 Lambeth rather than Eliza

What date of birth is the certificate?

Yes that's the name I have on the birth certificate - perhaps the 1871 census I have pulled is the wrong one. I'll re check that.
I have only recently started doing family trees and so far I've been lucky on what I've been searching eveythings checked out - this one has just confused me - thankyou for helping me.

Karen the only Thomas Mansfield I can find born Lambeth between 1850-1855 is in Jun qtr Jun 1853 Vol 1d Page 1853.

I've also found the following marriage in Dec qtr 1847 Newington Vol 4 Page 417

Mansfield Thomas
Mackendret Elizabeth

I'm not sure. This Thomas age 7 may be slightly too old and is born in Brixham - I may have requested his birth certificate!! or this may be the correct one and I have all the wrong census!!! What is soo confusing is that around the time my Thomas Mansfield was born in Lambeth there were lots of other Thomas Mansfields born as well!

Karen this is from the 1861 census; do you think this is the family you are looking for?

Could someone please check for me that I have the correct Mansfield? I have just received a birth cert and it states the mother is Elizabeth. I have her on the census as Ellen. I have I think traced her through her children going back from 1901.

1901 - Thomas Mansfield born abt 1852 Lambeth wife Eliza abt 1856 + children Eliza, Fred and Thomas.
1891 – Thomas age 30 and Eliza age 35 + children Thomas and Eliza
1881 – Thomas Mansfield age 30 and Eliza age 24 (waiting for Marraige Cert)
Then 1871:
Ellen Mansfield abt 1829 with children Thomas age 20 abt 1851 and brother George abt 1858 but no father. Thomas’s birth cert says mother Elizabeth nee Mackendret (looks like)father Thomas Mansfield (Greengrocer)
