Find Ancestors

Please could someone look at Ancestry for a marriage in London for me. It's Alfred Thomas Munt and Elizabeth Ann Collins in 1860. I would like to know what info is in the parish registers as I believe that Collins might not be her maiden name, and that she might have been previously married sometime between 1848 and 1860 to a Collins.

Thank you ever so much! :)

Name: Alfred Thomas Munt
Age: Full Age
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1860
Spouse Name: Elizabeth Ann Collias
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 15 Feb 1860
Parish: St Thomas, Stepney
County: Middlesex
Borough: Tower Hamlets
Father Name: John Hambrey Munt
Spouse Father Name: John Collias

Alfred is a Widower and Elizabeth is a Spinster

So it would look like Collins was her maiden name. Thank you!

Oh really! That is very interesting! Can you find ALfred marrying anyone else in the years before? He was born 1828 so it would be around 1846 onwards.

Both fathers are deceased.

Also, it does look more like Collins that Collias.

The address at the time of the marriage looks like 32 Holmes Street

This one??

Name: Alfred Thomas Munt
Age: 24
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1828
Spouse Name: Marian Green
Spouse Age: 24
Record Type: Marriage
Marriage Date: 01 Jun 1852
Parish: St Mary, Newington
County: Surrey
Borough: Southwark
Father Name: John Humphrey Munt
Spouse Father Name: John Green

John Hambrey from the other marriage could be John Humphrey in this one?

Alfred's father is meant to be John Humphrey Munt and I knew he died in 1832, but I didn't know about John Collins. Thank you for the address, I haven't been able to find Elizabeth on the 1861 census, and that might help track her down. Does it give Alfred's profession - I believe he was a marine engineer.

He is an Engineer.

The first marriage states that both fathers are deceased.

John Green was a Gentleman and Alfred's father was a Chaser (???). That's what it looks like?

Alfred was away at sea when the 1861 census was taken so I'd expect to find Elizabeth on her own or with family. The marriage to Marian must be my Alfred, the father's name is too unusual. Is there any extra informaion given on that marriage entry. I wonder when she died then?

So it definitely ties up. I know that John Humphrey was a Chaser - apparently it means a decorative metal beater!

Alfred Thomas died at sea sometime between 1871 and 1881, as on the 1881 census Elizabeth is a widow.

can you find either Marian dying, or Elizabeth Ann Collins being baptised. She was born around 1832 in the City of London according to the cenuses I have.

I don't think that death can be her. The certificates are usually quite accurate on dates and that is a year before she got married.

Thank you for all your help!

Does Alfred Thomas and Elizabeth Ann's marriage give her father's profession?

Oh that's interesting. Does it give any info on John's profession that maybe we could match up?

Sorry, I didn't even realise the death was before the marriage!!
