thanks for info on Alfred ---this could be a good lead. How would i find ALfreds birth certificate from this info any ideas please - can you tell i am new to all this. Wouldn't Sarah of had to put her middle names (if she had any) on her marriage cert?

update the sarah ann j marns that is here i have already investigate this her mother was called sarah ann jane block before she married a marns. i have gone back through this family but don't think they are related to my gg sarah marns

Sharon

Sharon Report 18 Mar 2006 23:47

yes i have - only found sarah A Marns and a sarah ann j marns which don't think is mine. and the sarah that's on has middle names and on the sarah that is mine on her marriage cert it just say's sarah marns so don't think my sarah had middle names and the only relative living to confirm if his mum had middle names say's no. hope the above makes sense.

Hi Ozibird Sarah Marns was married to Alfred Mansfield 1909 Sarah's father is called Frederick W Marns (on marriage cert) and his occupation was a labouer Alfred Mansfield father is called William Mansfield (on marriage cert)and his occupation was costermonger. This is all the info i have ----and i am finding it hard to trace Sarah Marns birth cert should be around 1885 Alfred Mansfield birth should be around 1884 Or there Death Certs Alfred died around 1926? he died in the Grand Union Canal. This is all i know sorry. Thank you so much for searching for me, i need help in finding Sarah and Alfreds birth's and death's cert's.

ozibird thank you for information , but i don't know if it is right as Sarah marns dob around 1885 (my GGrandmother ) as she was married in 1909 to alfred mansfield. All i do know is that Sarah Marns father was called Frederick William Marns and he died 16th Dec 1909 ( i have his death certificate) I do not know if sarah had any brothers or sisters and i do not know her mothers name. and the 6 children that sarah and alfred had were called Cecilia ? not confirmed Alfred Rosetta John Frank Ivy

Emma

Emma Report 18 Mar 2006 21:19

Have you tried finding them in any of the census? 1901? 1891? If you find them on any of the census, it might help to find when and where they were born. Emma

Sharon Report 18 Mar 2006 20:22

sorry first time i have ever used this. I do not think the Sarah Marns death that you have kindly found for me is my relative as she got married in 1909. Thank you for trying to help me though - i am totally stuck and getting very exhausted trying to search.

Jeanette

Jeanette Report 18 Mar 2006 20:19

what age for Frederick on death cert? Jeanette

Jeanette Report 18 Mar 2006 20:17

pm from sharon incase anybody else can see them Thank you for replying to my query. I have been told we don't think Sarah had a middle name - not one on the marriage certificate i have ---Sarah's father was called Frederick W Marns which i have his death certificate - Alfreds father was called William Mansfield. But for some reason even having this info from marriage certificate i cannot find their birth/death certificates ----I also know very little more info so think that is making my search harder. its best to reply on thread so others can see message just click on add reply jeanette
