Find Ancestors

Sorry did not read it correctly

My great grandparents married 14 years after my gran was born.

Hi Glitter Baby,

The person on the birth cert is mentioned in the 1st post.

John Wilson born 1862 in Portsea, Portsmouth Hampshire.

Details from the birth cert would be useful such as name of child and born where?

Hi Guys,

Been awhile.
Have come across these names as parents on a birth cert.
But I am unable to find any reference to them in the cenus records.
There is a marriage in the Free BDM.

Marriages Sep 1892
Wilson William W. Derby 8b 948
McCaskie Agnes W. Derby 8b 948

But the person in question was born in 1862.
Ok....they could have married later. But on the cert is states," Agnes Wilson, formerly McCaskie."
This would appear to mean they were married before the birth not in 1892....yet I can't find any reference to it anywhere.!
The person in question is a John Wilson born 1862 in Portsea, Portsmouth Hampshire.
Father William, was a Sapper Royal Enginners and a Shipwright.

John was a Carpenter Royal Navy, H.M.S Wye
But was aboard HMS Active at time of his marriage in 1892.

Its the military connection which is making it hard to track down William and Agnes in the cenus record.
I assume they may have moved around alot...but also..I do not know when and where William was born.

Any ideas or help is much appreciated.
Many thanks in Advance
