hi

all i got to go on sorry is a marriage certificate my great grandmother ELIZABETH AMELIA AXFORD wed THOMAS HOWDEN ROBERTS on 14th feb 1900, at st. catherine's church, milford haven pembrokeshire, reg office haverfordwest. it states at that time he was from milford haven pembrokeshire, but because it being a fishing, naval town he could have come from anywere really, it does state his dad was THOMAS ROBERTS a broker but he was deceased when they wed and states on the wedding cert that THOMASHOWDEN ROBERTS was a widower his employment was a engineer ....

hope you can solve this one please

yes marion she was born 23rd may 1874

nothing on thomas howden roberts for 1863 on free bmd

I can't see them 1901 or 1911. Did they have a child between those dates do you know?
Jan

Can't find them either, nor a birth England/Wales or on IGI for him.

no child alive for them they married in 1900 and elizabeth died while 8 months pregnant in april 15th 1900 she had 3 children out of wedlock one died as a baby her two sons went to the workhouse the following winter i think because elizabeths mam died in 1898 one sister had a family and the other moved to gibralter with her husband with the army. so i wud presume thomas cud only afford to look aafter kids of his own, because in those times a man would not take on another mans children without the mother

sorry not ignorig you got to put straw under the cattle be 10 mins

Ah, I wont find them in the 1901 then lol

So she died the day after the wedding? No wonder we haven't found her 1901/11,

added: sorry, read the month wrong.
