Hi Veronica

Can i ask how you've suddenly found this out?

Have you discovered a pervious marriage of a Grandparent? Do you have any certs for your new findings?

We can help you alot here with the 1911 census etc, but it would help to understand the circumstances surrounding this new revelation.

Veronica

Veronica Report 27 Feb 2010 21:42

yeah i have the birth cert for these now, my mum is jenny smith the youngest , her mum mary ann died when my mum was a year old so im guessin the older ones moved out and my mum never remember them.

Veronica

Veronica Report 27 Feb 2010 21:43

WayneTracey

WayneTracey Report 27 Feb 2010 21:45

Ok so this is the marriage

Marriages Mar 1894
Dimmock Mary Ann Islington 1b 451
Smith George Turrett Islington 1b 451

I saw your postem too, that is the best way of doing things!

Yeah i saw the reference to 1911, it didn't say you had the census, just they were all living in Wilesden in 1911.... one can't make assumptions you know!

Do you have any of their actual birth dates?

It's possible to search for their deaths with just Forenames and birthdates.

For the females this will give you their last known married name.

Could one of these be your Charles?
