Find Ancestors

Thanks, both of you, i will send off for certificates to confirm this.
Hopefully it will be them!

However, do you know where I can get them from?

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

Is the official site. They should cost you no more than £7, you will need to create an account first, it's free also. Once you are in and entering the details remember to click i have the gro ref number, and enter the marriage cert vol and page number (repeat for each cert you need). It's a very easy process!

The certs normally take 7 days to arrive in the UK.

Good Luck

Hi guys, I recently had contact with a match (there was only one match) to Roseina Bailey on here and she has given me the names of Roseinas parents (Silas and Wilhelmina) on her tree and they are the same as the ones we have found. I have just asked to view her tree and if there are the same people on hers as there is mine, then I don't think it would be necessary to send off for certs? Or do you think that I should, anyway?

Thankyou for all of your help!

Shona,

Ask the person if they have the certs and if they do would they mind emailing you a copy... you'll have them for your records then.

I'd say with the unusualness of the names your highly unlikely to get another couple matching them?

I will do that once she has replied, thanks.

Also, that is what we said, that if the names had been more common then we would have had to send away for certs but I think we can be pretty sure that it is the same people.

Hi there, I don't know if anyone is still reading this thread. But I have the marriage cert of Roseina and John Horace, and it turns out that Alice and Walter were indeed his parents. So now all to do is to try and find out why he was down in the 1901 census as Jack and down as John Horace on the marriage cert.

Hey Shona

Jack and John as names are often interchanged...

As is Harry and Henry....

It's just a shortened version of the name (even tho it's not indeed shorter!)

I have a lady called Rosetta in my tree and she used the name Ann!!

Hope this helps

Ahhhh! I see I see. Well everyone knew him as Jack as well, so I guess he just liked to swap names!

now I just have to find details on his father Walter Edward Theobald!

Remind me what we are looking for on him?

Who were the witness's on the cert?

If you check out the 1881 on Family Search-Walter is fairly easy to spot,since he's listed under his full name and is of course,a bookbinder.

The witnesses on the certificates were Alice Theobald and Wilhelmina Bailey.
Silas Bailey was already deceased by this time.

From the 1891 census Walter and Alice lived at her home?

Also, I took a look on the 1881 census, is there anyway of knowing Ann Carolines' maiden name?

Yes,it seems that those were Alice's parents.
