And it is there, as has been given to you.

Now please send for the marriage certificate. Then we can proceed further.

hi K,thnx for the start....found the griffiths family--mother,father and 7 children(inc.jane e. b.1894) on the 2011 census,living glamorganshire. only thing i couldn't understand...if she did indeed marry in 1910,why was she still at home on the 1911 census? can't find anything about the marriage of her to charles e kelly.wigan. i rang my 88 yr old aunt and asked if she was def. sure mi grandma was adopted....she said she was maybe fostered. understandable really when there were 7 kids in the house!

There is this marriage but the surname is Kelly

Try the Anderson and Evans marriage first then see if it confirms her original maiden name was Griffiths and if detials of a father are given

well its welsh! a good start...and the initials correct--she was jane ellen. so she only have been 16 yrs of age then when she first married. wonder if mi aunty was mistaken...is anderson a christian name too? anderson charles? or even charles anderton?

There is this marriage in1910 from Ancestry, but I can't see a husband at the moment - Edit looked at all those married in the District in that quarter and there is no Anderson

Name: Jane E Griffiths
Year of Registration: 1910
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Llanrwst
County: Caernarvonshire, Denbighshire
Volume: 11b
Page: 506

The marriage record is from FreeBMD site. I cannot see a previous marriage to Charles Anderson at the moment.

You would need to buy the certificate from the General Record Office online for £9.25 to see the detials

Where do you think they were married and would she not have married your grandad under her previous married name of Anderson and probably after 1915 on All England & Wales, Marriage Index: 1916-2005

they lived atherton i believe..3 miles fr leigh. how did you find that? i was on 3 sites trying to find out! she was griffiths>married charles anderson who was killed,then married g/dad,eli. was there any more detail..ie mother or fathers name?

You don't say the area that they lived in following the marriage. Could this be the marriage of Eli and Jane? Leigh is on the edge of Manchester

no marriage cert,sorry. my aunty(their eldest daughter)told me her mother was adopted,so i don't know if griffith is her natural name or her adopted name...she said she was born in meadow st,but doesnt know wot part of wales it was. she would have been adopted well before 1928...my aunts were born in 1922 and 1923 and mi mum was born in 1925

As I believe it, there was no formal adoption before arround 1928. Before then adoptions could be privately arranged, often within families, with no formal record being made.

What sort of date were you thinking of?

Official adoption started, I believe, in 1927.

What makes you wonder about her being adopted? Do you have the marriage certificate for Eli and Jane?
