Find Ancestors

I've checked Findmypast again and the Mary Mantle with Stephen and Mary A. as parents has been transcribed as Mande - but the image definitely looks like Mantle.

I don't know how you will work out which one is yours as there only seems to be one birth in Wolverhampton - not two, and without a marriage certificate it seems impossible to decide.

The 1891 census given above by K does not seem to come up on Findmypast (at least I can't see it). This is the only likely one on Findmypast:-

MANTLE, William Head Married M 42 1849 Cabinet Locksmith
Bridgnorth
MANTLE, Jane Wife Married F 35 1856
Wolverhampton
MANTLE, Charles Son Single M 16 1875 Iron Plate Worker

MANTLE, Thomas Son Single M 13 1878 Errand Boy
Wolverhampton
MANTLE, Mary Daughter Single F 11 1880 Scholar
Wolverhampton <<<<<<<<<<
MANTLE, Emily Daughter Single F 8 1883 Scholar
Wolverhampton

Address:
15, Brook Street, Wolverhampton

This seems to fit in with the Wolverhampton birth given earlier, and the birth place of Willenhall given in the 1911 census would come under the Wolverhampton Registration District.

so not YOUR Mary Mantle

Shirley...

I got her name from the birth cert of son Stephen James Clifford...

Mother Mary Clifford, formally Mantle
Father Herbert Clifford
Address..Princess St, Coventry....as on 1911 census

I guess it could be possible she was married before but goodness knows where I would find that one!!

I see your problem. Maybe they ran off together and never got round to the marriage.

I can see there is a marriage of a Mary Mantle b 1880 Woverhampton (based on Anc trees)to a Frederick William Spencer in 1899 with parents William and Jane which is presumably the wrong family.

Based on the birth place in 1911 given as Willenhall the parents of Stephen and Jane Mantle seem a reasonable possiblity, but this doesn't prove it. Maybe the use of Stephen as Herbert and Mary's third child helps to confirm this

sister Emily is with brother Thomas but no Mary so seems likely she was "married" by then

no Mary mantle comes up for the 1901 census.


All posted for elimination purposes

This is the only one born Wolverhampton
Name: Mary Mantle
Date of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar 1880
Registration district: Wolverhampton
Inferred County: Shropshire, Staffordshire, West Midlands
Volume: 6b
Page: 547

Have you got her name from one of the childrens birth certs?

Is it possible she was married before ?

Thank you for looking for me Kay...

I do wonder if they never married, just fibbed about it, hope not, I need to confirm I have the correct Mary Mantle by her fathers name (if there is one on the cert) to go further back, with confidence I have the right family....

Misty x

Sorry I can't see their marriage either.

Kayx

I cannot find a marriage between Herbert Clifford born abt 1879 Darlaston, Staffordshire and Mary Mantle born abt 1880, Wolverhampton, Staffordshire.

1901 census they are married, living in Manchester
1911 census they are in Coventry, Warwickshire, two children, married 11yrs.

Please can anyone see this couples marriage....I need to buy the cert to confirm the other info I have.....

Marriage is the only info I need, Thank you
