Just thinking Joseph Lark's first son was Joseph about 1841 and there is a marriage in 1863 of a Joseph Lark and then there's a death of a Joseph Lark in 1865. Now there are three womens name on the marriage but we don't know which one he might have married.

England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1915
about Joseph Lark
Name: Joseph Lark
Year of Registration: 1863
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
District: Yarmouth (1837-1924)
County: Norfolk
Volume: 4b
Page: 8

Mary Canham 1863 Yarmouth (1837-1924) Norfolk

Edward Daniels 1863 Yarmouth (1837-1924) Norfolk

Martha Gibbs 1863 Yarmouth (1837-1924) Norfolk

Joseph Lark 1863 Yarmouth (1837-1924) Norfolk

Elizabeth Ulph 1863 Yarmouth (1837-1924) Norfolk

There is also a mans name missing from that record above.

But what if Joseph died in 1865 the year we think Frederick was born and then his mum remarried. Fred could be put down as the new fathers name.

It's very strange isn't it?

Could the birth cert be wrong as Suzi said the marriage cert had no father's name on.

I have now gone through the 35 pages of the 1871 census where Joseph and family are. there is only one Elizabeth possibly Read and she is old and a widow. Joseph seems to be the only Lark on there.

I looked through 42 pages of a census this morning for Yarmouth because I saw a Sarh Lark but it was all Market Square and St Nicholas rd. Now I have seen Christines post Joseph Lark 1814 is on the 1861 census with a lot of his children but no Frederick. I wonder if he was the love begot child of one of his daughters???

Forgot to say he is living at 5 yard Row 139.

Is 139 Row the address on the birth cert you have for Frederick?

There is a Joseph Lark born c 1814 living there in a few census records.

Will have another look tomorrow as I need my bed!!

I must just add though, it is sooooo nice to have someone answer our questions on a thread Suzi. Usually people just put a question up and never reply, well a lot anyway. I never go any further with them even if I could.

So thanks for your replies.

Well we seem to be able to follow Elizabeth Smith but not her Frederick but if he was a fisherman then he could have been at sea on the other census too but not when he was tiny!!!!!!

He must be there somewhere mistranscribed.
