You have to either go to the record office or send for the person's birth certificate.

Thomas was born 1872 and married twice,once to edith beecham,and to edith Allen

The Bag

The Bag Report 4 Nov 2005 15:45

so the marriage is going to be after 1901 do you know when his first wife died (are you sure his first wife is Edith Beecham , not Elizabeth?)

Baby

Baby Report 4 Nov 2005 15:46

No sorry

Nikki

Nikki Report 4 Nov 2005 15:48

Nothing on Free BMD for the marriage of Edith Allen or the death of the first wife. Might need to be using 1837 or similar

The Bag

The Bag Report 4 Nov 2005 15:49

I agree with Nikki, you'll have to look on 1837, find the marriage and send for the cert

Baby Report 4 Nov 2005 15:56

Have just checked family search and she is on the 1881 census as elizh.J.Beecham

In 1891, she's this... Beecham, Elizabeth J abt 1872 Brampton, Huntingdonshire, England Daughter Brampton Huntingdonshire Thomas in 1881 Tom Reedman abt 1872 Brampton, Huntingdon, England Son High St, Brampton, Huntingdonshire, England I checked familyrelatives and couldn't see her death before 1920. Unless J is Jane? Reedman Jane 39 Huntingdon.3b 263 Death 4 1911 Ahah! Marriage Dec 1915 Reedman Tom Allen Edith Huntingdon 3b 907 What was the question? lol

The Bag

The Bag Report 4 Nov 2005 16:00

so it the death of Elizabeth not Edith we are looking for? View Record Reedman, Elizabeth 1901 September Deaths Stamford Huntingdonshire Lincolnshire Northamptonshire Rutland **aged 29 (about 20 miles from huntingdon) View Record REEDMAN, Elizabeth 1904 June Deaths Peterborough Cambridgeshire Huntingdonshire Lincolnshire Northamptonshire **aged 2 , so not this one

Baby

Baby Report 4 Nov 2005 16:09

She did have jane as a middle name. Thank you for all you help. It beats me why they couldnt have started a family tree back then,then it would have been simple...lol

The Bag Report 4 Nov 2005 16:09

Need to know Ediths age on the marriage cert to find her. There are too many 'maybe's about.
