what was Richards occupation on the marriage cert?

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 9 May 2013 21:37

According to FreeBMD Winifred was born 1916, and there's a later child in 1917:

Births Mar 1916 (>99%)
Cant Winifred A Humphrey Maidstone 2a 1528
Births Jun 1917 (>99%)
Cant Charles F Humphrey Maidstone 2a 1340

Assuming William was the father, he "disappeared" between 1916 and 1919 when he turned up in Glasgow marrying Elizabeth Neish.

If Emma was born in 1879 she would be 33 in 1912.

I cannot see an Emma Eliza birth, where was it, please?

Or perhaps it's a different Emma Humphrey in the tree mentioned above.
No middle name given; born Brenchley, Kent, 1892; parents Richard Humphrey and Emma Styles.
Various siblings, including a Richard.
No husband listed.

When and where did William die?

Sorry, when does William disappear?

'Everyone' on ancestry can be wrong.

Have you got the actual certificates?

ArgyllGran

ArgyllGran Report 9 May 2013 21:21

There's a tree on Ancestry where the father is listed as Richard.

Or perhaps it's your tree? Roberts family tree?

Hi Guys, we seem to have a bit of confusion here...I have Emma Eliza Humprey married to William Robert Cant in 1912 Maidstone Kent, she is aged 21 and hes 27..They have had 5 children Winifred was the last in 1919..William Cant seems to have disappeared after this and was in the Navy.. He is now married to my great aunt Elizabeth Neish in 1919 aged (27) again.. The father listed for William is Henry Joseph and mother is Mary Ann Cole, which is correct. On the first marriage Emma Humphreys father is listed as Richard and the witness is Richard..Yet everyone on Ancestry has her father listed as Edward, which is quiet confusing, I keep telling myself that there is an error, but Richard is still living at the time of the first marriage in 1912 and the witness could well be a brother, so I cant see how there could be room for an error..Can anyone help :-0
