The information comes from ancestry - it would be well worth you taking out a sub.

Condition of marriage - on the actual census image will have unmarried, married or widow - not a lot of help to you really as most likely a couple not married will have a married next to her name anyway.

I cannot find a birth or a census record of a Matilda Hulf in Norfolk either. I have noted census mistrans with the name Wulf or Hulp given instead of Hulf but still not having any joy, she must have a different first name somewhere. I was thinking maybe she was married before and has mistakenly used her former married name .....................

When you get a moment, read Tips for Newbies on the tips page - also if we are sure of this unusual name, try a google search for Hulf genealogy.


LOL, thats a turn up, an Ulph married into my Norfolk Horsteads!

Heather...

to me it looks like H U L F.. the last three are defo ULF...

Thanks
Tracey

Kate... looking again it defo says S--BURY MEWS. PADDINGTON...
Thanks Tracey

Dont give up Tracey - I cant find a Matilda Hulf birth either.

Can you look at the certificate again and see what other names it could possibly be please?

Do you know Matilda and Johns years of birth?

Kate... it looks like 6 SUDBURY MEWS, PADDINGTON...

Thanks for your time...
Tracey

i've been to the family research centre and have had no such luck... really i'm not confident i know what i am looking... i find the other sites mind boogling as i am not computer lit...

Heather thanks for your time, it is appreciated..
Tracey

What address does it say he was born at? Is it possible that what appears to be Hulf could be read as another name?

Where have you tried so far, so we dont duplicate searches. Its a very unusual surname and yet no Matildas are coming up on ancestry. I guess possibly mistranscribed. Where have you seen them together please.

Hello...
I have a birth certificate for a
JOHN AUSTIN 16 JUNE 1865
REGISTION DISTRICT Kensington
SUB-DISTRICT OF Saint Mary Paddington

His parents are listed as a
JOHN HENRY AUSTIN and a MATILDA HULF of 6 Sudbury Mews, Paddington... Matilda has made her mark x...
JOHN HENRY is listed as a Painter as OCCUPATION

Can anyone help me find a marriage for this couple... i have been trying for months and had no luck... without this marriage i cant carry on with the tree...

thanks
Tracey
