Hi Dea

The Witness were Daniel & Eliza TENISON. Sometimes spelt Tennison - I have just found the family on the 1881 Census.

Joseph Bennett lived at 143 Back Church Lane.

Eliza Royce lived at 145 (or it could 143) Back Church Lane.

Witness....

(1) Daniel Jerrison or Jenison
(2) X The mark of Eliza Jerrison or Jenison

Sorry their surnames are the same - hard to read, could begin with a "T" Looking at the ""J" in Joseph it is different so it could be Terrison or Tenison

Sylvia

Addresses + witnesses on marriage cert please?

Hi Kathleen

No sorry I do not have any of her children birth certificates but on her marriage certificate it said she was a spinister.

Sylvia

Do you have the birth certificate for any of her children? I was just wondering if Royce was her maiden name or if she had been married before she married Joseph.

Kath. x

In 1901 they are still at 19 Cornwall Street. However I can't find Eliza before she was married.

Thanks Shirley - if that something I can look on the web or is it a trip to London - if yes do you know where they are.

Sylvia

Her birth may not have been registered as it wasnt compulsary till 1875. You may find her baptism in Parish records but this will mean a look up at the London Metropolitan Archives if they hold the records for her birth area

Do you have her marriage cert? - Can you put up the details please?
