No penalty for not registering until mid 1870's OR ? Emma previously married so Hayes not maiden name

Thank you greyghost...yes the sights you mentioned are always my first port of call.. :-)

Mmm She was stated as being 19 yrs old when she married William Barber :-S

Then surely you didn't need it confirming ?? The results posted are from those sites. Or is it actually only the birth of William you wanted confirming and not the marriage.

Where did you get Emma's age at marriage from if not the marriage certificate ?

Where are the family in 1861 - what children are with them?

Yes it's mainly the birth for William Barber (the baby) Born 1855 in salford that I need confirming ..

Looks to be this couple who had William in 1855?

His sister Mary married a Samuel Smith and the couple were witnesses at William + Emma's wedding.

I have also traced that Mary to having a sister Elizabeth who married a John Bowman. - I haven's followed through to find out why but 2 of Mary's children were living with Elizabeth and John Bowman by 1871. - I will leave that for you to explore further.......

Just a thought as I seem to have gone off on a tangent which doesn't seem to help you with a William who was born in 1855. - Who exactly are you following and how do they connect with your family please?

Is the connection the William born 1855 or the William who married Emma Hayes?

Thanks,

Dea x

Gwen - are you wanting to move forward on this ?

Dea x

Hello
So sorry that I did'nt venture back....I meant to but got carried away...Massive thanks to each and everyone of you for the Massive help on this one :-D
I need your help finding Emma on the 1861 Census.....Hubby went in the army so we know where he is
Emma born roughly 1835/36
Baby William born after 1854....Manchester
Thank you

Cane, unless I've missed it there's no William born to Barber/Hayes on the GRO ?

No Dee....THAT'S ABSOLUTLY FABULOUSE and it's helped heaps :-)

Oh no ...I could have swore that they had a child
:-S

Do you have them on a later census please?
