Need to fnd John & Emma in the 1901 census.

If Jack was born 1917..wouldn't his parents be born..around 1890?

Possible Maybe?.....has her name as Emily rather than Emma.

We are in the thinking that Emma Fuller and John Wicks are his parents..and that George Wicks and Alice Hamblin are Johns brother and his wife.

Thinking they both got married at the same time in the same place etc..to safe money!.
A double marriage!..
I'm thinking that one brother set up his brother with his girlfriends friend...or the other way round..lol.

They all got married at the same time to save money!..Good thinking....share the expense of the reception etc.
Or maybe they were just cheap skates...lol...

Morning Pam!


Yes have that already...thanks.. :)

Looking for John Wicks and wife Emma Fulller in the 1901 census..we appear to be getting things straight now ( well Susan has..lol...with much thanks).

I have Marjorie's birth cert ....looking at her husbands side now...her husband was Jack Wicks...well her 1st husband..lol

Gosh,..need to sort my typin..slow down abit..lol

I have found plenty of info on them....someone else in Oz helped me out...she was great also!

You Ozzys seem to be a very helpful buch.. :)

Best helpers so far... :) xx

Er?..John & Emma?....sorry lost where we are...so much spinning in head.. hehe!

Did I mention I have relations in Oz.?

I'm sure I did...

Imigrated to Australia.

Tilbury on R.M.S Orontes, 25/10/1960

Name: Bessie CARR
Date of departure: 25 October 1960
Port of departure: London
Passenger destination port: Melbourne, Australia
Passenger destination: Melbourne, Australia

Caroline CARR Passenger list page 4 of 36
Christina CARR Passenger list page 4 of 36
Leslie CARR Passenger list page 4 of 36
Melvyn CARR Passenger list page 4 of 36
Richard CARR Passenger list page 4 of 36
Stanley CARR Passenger list page 4 of 36

Her maiden name was Wilson....but she married a Leslie Carr...had 5 kids and imigrated to Oz.

I think they were apart of the £10 pom scheme.

Otherwise it would have been very expensive to of taken themselfs and 5 kids to Oz!.

Think they went to Melbourne..though I always believed they lived in Canberra...

Thanks you Susan!......your GREAT!..what a STAR!

:).... Great info....yes all looks very good......all we really need to do is confirm this is the right Jack Wicks...which Im sure it is......the areas concerned all match well with my mum being born in Reading Berkshire...and her mother being born their also.

Her mother was Marjorie Phyllis Edna May. Born to Albert May and Marjorie Matilda May May (nee Gunter).

Marjorie Phyllis Edna May married Jack Wicks..then married Fredrick James Leeson Fleet.

Jack & Marjorie had 4 kids and Marjorie & Fredrick had 2 kids.
These I know about already....

The main mystery now..is the child Majorie had during the war with the US GI...Thats the story I have been told.

All I have there is the name Colin..but I don't know if thats the name of the GI or the child. But...the child was taken back to the US with the GI.

I have no idea if this story is true..so with so little to go on...I don't know where to start!.

It is very intriging!

Cheers Susan...{{{{{{{{{{{{BIG HUG}}}}}}}}}}}}} xx

Thank you June.... for your kind words..
