You need the birth cert for Dora to check mothers details


Sarah is listed as married in 1901. Maybe the enumerator entered the details wrongly?

Dear GR Members

I am helping a colleage research her tree as she has been stumped on a certain name for months, but now Anc has posted some marriage certs for London and one has proved fruitful. I have since pulled other records using the marriage cert info but would appreciate it if someone could please confirm if what I have done so far is right?

Details:
DORA CAROLINE HALL b. 1914...parents REUBEN HALL AND ???
I looked up marriages and found REUBEN HALL and CAROLINE HART married 26.8.31913 in London. The couple were both 25years old and lived at 26 Mansion Street, Camberwell , London. Witnesses "John Thomas Horn (I think) and Jessie Hart".
Both their Fathers are named John (Deceased) and are Mariners. Reuben is also described as a Sailor.

Baptism: 1889 Ellesmere Port Cheshire...Reuben Hall, Father John Hall, Mother Sarah.

Based on this info, I have tried to look at previous census' and discovered on FMP 1911...Reuben Hall aged 23 at sea in Hong Kong with the Navy "single". It staes he was born in Sandbach Cheshire.

1901 Reuben Hall aged 11 living at Illey, Worc with Mother Sarah A Holden?

1891 Reuben aged 1 living at Dudley Street, Bradford with Father John, Mother Sarah and siblings John, Eliza

QUESTIONS:
Does it look like from the marriage cert that we know is correct, I have found the correct census' in 1891 + 1901?

If so, why is Sarah Holden now a Holden and not a Hall in 1901? When did her Hubby John Hall die?

Can anyone fill in or find anything else if I have gone wrong?
Any info would be much appreciated - and sorry this is such a long message :(

Thank you
Lorraine
