Their adress for james and his fianceé at the time of marriage was 11 king and queen street? 1896. Looks like you found the right familly.......thanks you Anis

Practice, practice practice. Ill pm you with my-history addy.

ahhhhhgfgggghhhhh!!!! can't get on to my history or ansestry!!!!! why meeeeeee!!!!!

Anis - no you dont only have access to 1881 - woo hoo - check out my thread on the three free days trial. Go to ancestry*com/ and enter a search - they will then offer you 3 days free trial to EVERYTHING - not just the UK records but all of the records. Go on, off you go now - replace the asterisk with a full stop You mean once it gets to page 20? All you have to do is click on View My threads at the top of the page and it will bring up any you have contributed to. Now get on with that searching kiddo!

aie aie...........your eyes must be hurting!!! lol I'm getting the money together for the program..... i'll have to do it by internet...tryed finding it here; but they don't have it!! lol So i' only have access to the 1881......for the moment!!! I'll let you know....and i'll order both certs eventually!!! 1 question more..... if you dont mind......Once my thread gets to number 20, does it dissapear altogether or do I still have access to it even though no one can see the thread? Thanks for everything...your'e a star...... Anis

Anis, sorry been up to my eyes but you seem to have got the hang of searching ancestry - have you got your program/sub already? I am intrigued by the two welshs marrying the Coakley - may just be a coincidence as she should have married the second time in her married name. Probably a red herring. If you have time, see if you can find two Julias in the censuses. Im having a prob reading at mo, my eyesight isnt great now and Ive lost my proper glasses, just using some bought at the chemists for £7.50 and they arent too wonderful.

right, Iv'e found a possible family in the 1881 census...thanks for all your help.....got certs to order, and places to google... Thanks for all that, you are incredible Anis

LOL, This will intrigue you: Marriages Sep 1891 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>>Coakley Julia St. Olave 1d 544 Jacobs Annie St.Olave 1d 544 Moynehan Patrick St. Olave 1d 544 >>>Welsh James St. Olave 1d 544 BUT/AND Marriages Sep 1899 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- >>>Coakley Julia St saviour 1d 342 Squibb Benjamin Thomas St. Saviour 1d 342 >>>Welch Richard St. Saviour 1d 342 York Catherine St Saviour 1d 342

Right 1. thing at a time - after 1901 isnt easy - some names will be on the freebmd - otherwise you have to trawl through the complete bmd on ancestry - not an easy job. Then there is pay to view familyrelatives.org which is name searchable up to 1920.

lol..... sorry, too much info is a bad thing...... firstly, could someone look this family up on the 1901 census? Katherine welch was born 1898, oct, 1 bermondsey place,horselydown , father james welch, a wharf labourer, mother julia welch, formerly Coakley Coakley is aprobable irish name.....so julias family might not be around..... and Welch got changed alot to walsh or welsh...... And could someone tell me the best way to look for families after 1901.....? thankyou

Cant take all that in! But James - general dealer? Sounds likely that lot is his in 1891 then. Can you just give us one bit that you want to know? :)

Clive - can you see James and Mary Ann in 1901 please?

Well, 6ft son being grabbed by scruff by 5ft 8 hubby at the time and I thought Id better separate them! (Money probs as usual - this kid lets it fall through his fingers and then gets bills he expects us to pay. - But on top of that - he tells us he is taking the girlfriend to a posh restaurant tonight - hence row!) Son now gone out to the dozy girlfriends but did shout out, sorry as he went - so there you go - until tomorrow! LOL. Hard to concentrate on my Acton's lightermen apprenticeships and this site whilst listening to it though Clive!

Heather P T It doesn't get better does it? 21 year grand daughter having arument with her father! Think I'll leave home! lol Clive
