Hi Tracy Thanks for the Ellis marriage look up. As for Rose and Arthur I think it must have been just before WW1. I know they had a son Arthur born around 1914 and a daugther Rosie around 1912/13 although I don´t know the exact dates. The husband Arthur was killed during WW1. As far as I know they would have been married in Reading as my granmother never lived anywhere else. Thanks again Jane in Sweden

I'm really hoping you can help in any way possible! I am looking for my nans parents birth and marriage records.. My nans mother was called Mary Fleming, we believe she was born in the Bath/ somerset area but not really sure?about 1900..she died in Wales 1941/42 not really sure!! my nans father was called Jeremiah Sallows but could be spelt Salloss as it is on my nans birth certificate but we believe he was a bigamist and so the name changes slightly.. Jeremiahs father was also called Jeremiah.. We believe that Mary spent some of her time in a convent before getting married!and we also believe that she had siblings one being William Fleming. Jeremiah married a lady called Elizabeth Hodgkiss and they lived at 67 Winchester stree Salisbury.. He was also married to my nans mother Mary Fleming and they lived together with there children at 5 crichton place Cardiff.. i now this is a bit messy so please don't hesitate to ask me any questions, but i'm afraid i don't have much on them!! many thanks kelly

Jane, I don't have Berkshire. Marriage Sep 1918 Ellis Robert W Smith Reading 2c 1013 Can't see either of the others. When are rose and Arthur likely to have married?

Jackie, Only this one as well as Alice. Birth Mar 1913 Shingler Alec J Fisher West Ham 4a 77 Florries mother was Stott.

Christine, do you know what Benjamins occupation is?

Tracy No sorry i dont have him in 1901 i dont even know when he was born and i cant even find the birth of his daughter Doris all i know is she was born in 1900 so i guess he was married around then! Christine

Kathy, do you have the 1905 birth cert? What does it say on it? Is there anything about her being born in 1885 on there? what was Benjamins occupation?

Christine, do you have him in 1901? If not, when was he born?

Hi Tracy! I'm trying to find my great grandfather William Berkeley Blake born about 1875/1876. I've found him on 1901 census which states he was born in Liverpool(profession receiver L.N.W.R.). How correct that is I don't know. I have his marriage and death certificates(died 1906 aged 31 occupation as above). On his marriage certificate(1901) his father is William Blake (deceased) occupation engineer. On his son's(William Alfred Berkeley Blake- my grandfather) marriage certificate(1928) it states William Berkeley Blake was a ship's steward!Must be a mistake. Finding William Berkeley Blake's birth certificate has been a mystery to me since I started this family tree hobby and it is doing my head in so as you have offered I am going to share it with you !!!!!! Thanks Andrea. Also on 1891 census a John/James Ebbs, Elizabeth Ebbs and their daughter Eleanor Ann Ebbs aged 14 live in Mornington Street Liverpool. Does it say where John/James and Elizabeth were born? Thank you again.

Hi Tracy, First of all do you have Berkshire 1841? Do you think you could look up a few marriages for me. The first is Frederick Aldridge b 1881 Reading & Eleanor Ann Ferris (nee Absolom) b 1884 Reading. They were married some time during WW1. The second is Robert William Ellis b 1889 Aberystwyth & Rose Alice Smith (nee Tegg) b 1890 Reading - possibly towards the end of WW1 The third is Rose Alice Tegg(as above) & Arthur Smith Thanks for your time Jane in Sweden
