Is that age a mis-transcription Ginny?

EDIT: That would probably be this couple

No it does say 25?

All I can think is that she married in Scotland if thats not her on the 1911?

Do you know what children she had?

no sorry,not a lot to go on ,I found 1871 and 1881 census for her.Her fathers name Thomas Rowson born 1827 and her mother Eliza born 1827 staffs.Had a brother Albert born 1871.Looked long and hard for marriage between Eliza Rowson and a "Mcgee but no luck!

What was her address on the 1914 marriage cert.?
Maybe she was there in 1911 census!

babagungy Report 14 Nov 2011 17:51

Well funny you should say that!!Yes,her husband Thomas Birchall was at the same address in 1911 as in there marriage in 1914..But,his wife was named Sissie May Birchall,born 1871.said they were married in 1886 ,but cannot find any record of this.
Did they just say they were married,was Sissie short for Eliza???
I do have the marriage cert. for Eliza and Thomas for 1914,but not Sissies

if eliza was sissie may the date of birth would be wrong

Has anyone found her on the 1891 or 1901 census?

could she have been widowed twice before marrying thomas birchall. if that was the case there wouldn't be a rowson mcgee marriage but rowosn to ???? the ???? to mcgee , them mcgee to birchall.

Hi,couldnt find a Sisse May on other census forms.
Think possibly Eliza could have been married before,but have not found Eliza Rowson married to a "Mcgee"
Could Sisse be Eliza??Thomas Birchall was actually step father to Sarah Ellen and Gladys on 1911 census,so what relation ship is Sisse to Sarah and Gladys??so many questions!A real mystery :-S

What was Thomas' marital status on the marriage cert in 1914?

Who were the witnesses?

babagungy

babagungy Report 15 Nov 2011 14:43

on Thomas Cook Birchall marriage to Eliza Mcgee in 1914,Salford The witnesses were Sarah Ellen Faulkner(Birchall) and her husband Philip Faulkner.
Thomas was a widower and Eliza a widow.Thomas father was Thomas Birchall(deceased)Eliza s father was Thomas Rowson (deceased)Too many Thomas names me thinks! ;-)
