Find Ancestors

Hi could anybody help me please I have changed my request as I dont wont to put another thread on regarding the same person. Thanks for help from this site I have the census for Alexander king and I have been told his mother was from scotland but I am sitll a bit stuck on Alexander's birth date

He should have been born in 1833 Woolwich Kent ? but I still can not find no birth record for him

I have his marriage certificate when he married a Nancy Richards on June 5th 1854 where he was being stated as 21. and both living at 25 King Street Clerkenwell Middlesex,

According to his mariage cert his father was William King who I still can not find on any census but if i got Alexander's birth records I may be then to be able to find a marriage between his parents William and Mary


Thanks for all you time

NEW POST BUT TO DO WITH THE SAME FAMILY

I am trying to find the marriage between William King and Mary ?
as you can see from the information already given I cant find Alex birth so I am trying to find a marriage of his parent's to try and give me a lead with my family. I could be wrong but im thinking they could have been married in 1831 or before possible in woolwich kent

does it say who those other people are in their house ? and i wonder where william was as he was still alive then because it does not say deceed on Alexander's Marriage cert
Thanks
Deb

On that 1851 census return, Mary is a widow and Alexander is a Blacksmith............... what was his occupation on his marriage cert???



All the others are stated as brother........... but on the original image it looks like Boarder.

Denise His dad's occupation is really hard to make but it is defently says Shipping somthing
thanks
Debbie

and alexander was a blacksmith

Hi,

I'm still looking..........

Debbie, who were the witnesses on the marriage cert??

Thanks Dee

It is looking that his dad William was deceed in 1854 and he was just not put down as deceed on his marriage cert it does look like him in 1851 as dob and occupaion and area all match up
thanks
deb

It doesn't always say deceased on a marriage certificate, if a father has already died.
My great grandfather had been dead nearly 25 years when his daughter married, but he is recorded there with his occupation, just as if he was alive, with no mention of being deceased.

Dee
the witnesses are William Cowell and Susan Cowell
(think that is what the names say) Cowell looks 100% and so does William Susan could be something else
Deb

Thanks Gwyn

Hi Debbie,

I'm starting to think that maybe Alexander was born in Scotland????????

Dee x

Hi Dee

Well I don't know what to say never in a million years did i think that, wow that has completely thrown me
Thanks
Deb

Hi Dee

I have checked the tree's on this site and their is a couple of Alexander King's born in Scotland one in East Lothian 1832 and the other in Renfrew 1831 I will send them a email and just see if is gives me any leads. Sorry did you get what part of Scotland you think he may have come from
Regards
Deb

Hi Debbie,

It was just that the census in 1851 (which maybe him) stated Mary was from Scotland .............. and the more I think about it the name has a Scottish twang with it also????? Just a gut feeling aswell.


Ideally we would need to find them on the 1861 census and see if any parents are with them......... I've looked but can't see them, however we know both the boys were born in Kent, so Alexander and Nancy maybe in the area in 1861.


Just to add that I traced Nancy back and noticed her brother George was also a Blacksmith, I wonder if that's how Alexander and Nancy met????


Dee xx

Thanks Dee

Sorry to ask what was Nancy's Maidan name , as i dont know anything about her family or her brother George, and it does look like the Blacksmith's are in the family from Nancy;s side. and yes that is proberly how they met

Oh if you are ever in Greater London i think i need to buy you a drink for all your help you have given me
Thanks Again
Debbie

Sorry forget that about her maidan name ive just got so carried away with all this I forgot i have it on her marriage cert ! doh anyway i still owe you a drink :) its mary's maidan name i need oops
thanks again
deb

Regarding finding them on the 1861 census-a lot of Woolwich is missing. (figures)

Maureen

Thanks Maureen
Just my luck but thanks for that. I have emailed the people who have a Alexander King on their tree as being born in Scotland so fingers crossed i may hit the jackpot
thanks for your time in this
Regard
Deb
