Find Ancestors

Just wondering if anyone is researching the families of Edward Beckitt b 1861 who married Elizabeth Johnson b 1863 ish or maybe 1866. They married on 25 December 1882 and I think Elizabeth died in 1883 possibly giving birth to their daughter Edith. Were Christmas Day weddings a common occurrence?

I think I might have found Edith on the1891 census possibly living with her grandparents Joseph Beckitt and Mary Ann Beckitt.

I am stuck with this so any help is welcome.

To see if anyone is researching the family ,look in Search Trees which is under the Search heading above

Yes, Christmas Day was often the only 'day off' for people.

As with you other thread.........if you hope to find links on here..........look for them under the search facility provided by GR

It is important that you give LOCATION info when you ask for help

He is their GRANDSON on the census..................so did they lie to the Vicar?

Thank you Reggie. Yes that is interesting and I hadn't found the Christening record so did not spot the anomaly. Are the Christening records available from the family search site you have mentioned?

Once again - many thanks for your help.

Just been on family search.org to try to find more details of the marriage of George Turner 1884-1922 and Edith Beckitt 1883-1973 which I now know took place in 1905 in Yorkshire. In particular I need to check the name of George's father. I might have found him on the 1901 census as George W H Turner b 1852 married to Eliza b 1848. Family information indicates that he was an engine driver and this matches. However other information indicates that there were only 4 sisters named Rose, Ann, Mary and Beatrice and on the census there are 5 with Rose being the only name match.
Family search doesn't appear to provide me with the sort of information shown above on this thread and neither does this site with a Platinum sub.

The best way to find the father's name is to obtain a copy of the marriage cert, although I believe that Ancestry carry some West Yorks PR's......perhaps someone with a sub would look for the info on your behalf.................


You may be lucky

And treat family stories with caution until you can PROVE them..............or not.
