Hi Gwyn in Kent
On the copy of the birth certificate it shows her name as Caroline Ann Gee but I know she was registered as Worrall...had a devil of a time finding the birth certificate for her!
I'd like to find out why it took him so long to arrying her as well!

Hi Ericthered
Many thanks for that, it confirms what I had on the Worrall side.
I'm trying to make an educated guess at the Robert Gee side of things and wondering if I have the right family on the 1891 census. I have them living at 5 Cavendish Street, Notts and he was born in Leicester. He is aged 38 in this census and has a son William aged 20 (plus another 7 children) and a wife called Ann.
I'm probably just being a numpty but I'm not sure how I can tell if it's the right Gee family.
Many thanks again

GARA John Nottingham 7b 825

Going back to Caroline's birth in 1904 I see she is registered WORRALL, ...perhaps the G is GEE.

Why did William, ...if he WAS the father, wait 20 months before he married Mary? Was he perhaps already married even though his marriage cert. refers to him as a bachelor?

Firstly - please give us ALL the information on the wedding cert - names, ages, occupations, addresses - witnesses etc.

Also ALL details from birth cert!

Every little detail has to be checked before we can work back with certainty!

I think that I'm on the right track but before I head off down it, I was wondering if there is an experienced kind soul out there who would double check!
I am trying to track down my grandmother's family.
She was Caroline Ann Gee born 11 Oct 1904.
Parents: Mary Worrall and father not on birth certificate.
I have a marriage certificate for William Gee and Mary Worrall dated 11th June 1906 so I'm guessing William Gee was her father.
The marriage certificate shows Robert Gee as William's father.
I have found the 1891 census for Nottingham, St Mary's Parish with a Robert Gee as head of the family and son William aged 20 and was wondering how to check if this is the right family.
I think Robert may have married in 1870...Nottingham 7b 443. Oct/Dec qtr.
Any help most appreciated.
