HI JESS I HAVE JUST JOINED 1837 WEB SITE BUT HAVE NO CREDITS TO DO A FULL SEARCH, SO ALL I TYPED IN WAS: MARRAGES FOR THOMAS JAMES TO MARY JANE IN 1899-1908 AND CANT FIND ANYTHING, ALSO WITH PERCY MITCHELL AND LILLY EMMA WOODS IN 1925-1931. NOT TO WORRY I WILL SEE IF I CAN GET THE INFO FROM SOME-WHERE WITHIN THE FAMILY IF I CAN. IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO ANOTHER NAME SEARCH FOR ME: ALBERT EDWARD ERNEST SCRIVENER b 1900 BEDFORDSHIRE MARRIED TO A JANE HARRIS b 1900, CHILDREN: HUBERT HORCES SCRIVENER b 14/7/1926, AUDREY SCRIVENER, MARJORIE SCRIVENER AND PAULINE SCRIVENER. BUT YET AGAIN I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHEN ALBERT AND JANE WERE MARRIED SORRY. REGARDS LYN.

LYn, I dont know what i can do to help! what years did you look for the marriage and where geograhically? there must be thousands of Thomas James marriages , which ones have you narrowed it down to?

AMY-I cannot find a John or a Walter with father walter in the whole of kent!

Could you possibly do a lookup on the 1901 census for a Walter John Curtis (or John Walter Curtis) Im not sure which way round the name is because i have him on two certificates both of which say something different. He was born in 1893 and his father was also called Walter John Curtis. They probably would have been living in Kent, possibly in Gravesend. Thanks very much. Amy

Hi Jess, I just wondered if you had managed to find anything on Walter John Curtis. Thanks again. Amy

jess, thanks for doing the look ups for me .not that it makes sense at the moment ,i have printed it out and i will have a good look at it . by the way the question you asked wondering if he married as potter or potter -bond . this is one of the reason;s this family has been a bit of a pain as my g.grandad was born in 1878 registered charles edgar potter -bond but on his marraige he dropped the bond for some reason wonder how many of the other potter-bond 's did the same . very grateful for your time and effort catherine

Hi Jess Can you please look for the following on 1891 census? Francis Walker, b1860 Hardingstone Isabella Annabel b1859 (British Subject) America I expect them to be in Northampton, possibly Hardingstone. I'm interested to know if they had children as their 1st born died at the age of 3 Thanks J

Hi Jess, first time on GR. Wondered if you could advise me what to do next. Done some research for family tree. Back to getting death certificates for paternal grandparents, but these do not give me any info on where whey were born and married. Ive got JOHN EDWARD CALLAN B.1871 DIED AGE 72 13/5/43 married MARY ELLEN BRADY b.1874 died 80 yrs 2/2/54. All relatives who could help are deceased. My father included, who gave me the impression they were from Ireland. When I try the websites for Ireland, they ask for place of birth which I do not have. Which census do I look at and where do I go from here. Do I try looking for a marriage certificate in Manchester, as this is where they lived, but they may have been married in Ireland before they came to UK. iF YOU GET TIME TO REPLY, AS YOU SEEM TO BE A VERY BUSY AND POPULAR FELLOW, I SHOULD BE INDEED VERY GRATEFUL. Rose Callan (Fernandes)

jess , yes i am back again for another look up hope you don,t mind . could you please try to find charles potter- bond age 31[1850 ] and married on the 1881 census can you see if you can find him further back for me, he was born in layer breton essex. 1881 census has his wife a a mary potter -bond age 28 [1853] born in tollesbury essex could you please look to see if you can find a marraige for them .the eldest child was aged 11 on the 1881 census so i suspect marraige about that time . 1870 any help would be greatly appreciated . hope this all makes sense catherine

SORRY JESS AS YOU CAN TELL I AM A BIT NEW TO ALL THIS, I DO KNOW HER NAME IS DEFANTALLY LILLY EMMA WOODS AS I HAVE MY NAN`S BIRTH CERT.

IF YOU COULD HELP I WOULD BE MOST GREATFULL. THANKS LYN.

Lyn.if your nnn wasn't born until 1931, they wont have been married much before that. Ancestry really only covers up to 1910 (as it says in my title) trying to find a Lilly woods (when we dont know if she was a Lilly/Lily or a Lillian and just born Bedfordshire is almost impossible! Edith Lily Woods abt 1890 Stagsden, Bedfordshire, England Daughter Stagsden Bedfordshire Lily Woods abt 1872 Dunstable, Bedfordshire, England Wife Luton Bedfordshire Lily Elizabeth Woods abt 1883 Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Daughter Bedford St Mary Bedfordshire Lilian Woods abt 1896 Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Daughter Bedford St Peter Bedfordshire ---------------------------------------------------------- look on the site 1837 and find Lily and percy's marriage, The you'll find her fathers name which will help no end
