[Pre-1898, the registrar would have to attend all non-conformist marrs as well as rego office marrs.
After that, it was just RC marrs plus rego office marrs (thru 1980-ish)]

If i figure something out.........i will get back to you!!

Lol :-D

PricklyHolly you are going to have me puzzling all afternoon trying to get to the bottom of this - finding a Berry or Grime connection to Watson or Duckworth...

Sarah is with the Watson's in 1901.....so i doubt the relationship was assumed?

Nice idea PricklyHolly but not easy to follow as Sarah is single and from Northants. perhaps because they are both photographic boarders this 'relationship' has been assumed?

I am just wondering if he is the Nephew to the person above him on the 1911....

Sarah Katherine Line??

Thank you for the marriages PricklyHolly, Vera and Flick but I haven't seen any Duckworths or Watsons associated with these ancestors so far.

CORRECTION The military guys above are not the right dates - I must have been in an alcoholic daze when I found them 10 years adrift....

England & Wales, FreeBMD Death Index: 1837-1915 about Richard Wood Ashworth

Inferred County: Lancashire
Volume: 8e
Page: 237

Hi Flick and Margee, youv'e done it to me again. I must be a very slow typist !

I found the 1911 for John Robinson, Martha Annie with Louisa all in Halifax but no Ernest but all their places of birth were correct.
I thought I found my Ernest in Lancaster in 1911 but the only other Berry family showing up are

MILITARY BERRY ALFRED 1880 31 Overseas Military
MILITARY BERRY GEORGE 1887 24 Overseas Military

From the 1881 for John T (mistranscription?) there are brothers Arthur and George with the correct dates so I was assuming Ernest was near his uncles?
I didn't see one in Morecambe??

CORRECTION The military guys above are not the right dates - I must have been in an alcoholic daze when I found them 10 years adrift....
