Find Ancestors

Pam are there any clues with the witnesses on the marriage cert i.e. brothers sisters etc?

Also, does it give Samuel and Robert's professions

Selena

This is in Lincolnshire, not Norfolk unfortunately, so not sure if its them.

Marriages Dec 1871
ARNOLD Rebecca Grantham 7a 1007
Warren Samuel Grantham 7a 1007

There is this possible birth, the year is slightly out.

Births Mar 1875
WARREN Robert Benjamin Norwich 4b 140

There is this family in 1881 but they are in Lincoln. I don't know how far that is from Norwich/Norfolk.

Samuel WARREN Head M Male 33 Denton, Lincoln, England Ag Lab
Rebecca WARREN Wife M Female 29 Stroxton, Lincoln, England
Mary E. WARREN Daur Female 7 Stroxton, Lincoln, England Scholar

Hopefully other members can try to find Robert & Samuel on the 1891/1901 to see if they went to Norfolk but I don't have ancestry.

Received this PM from Pam:

re: robert warren.i have the marriage cert,checked his dob against it 1877.his fathers name was samuel,he had died by the time they got married.iv gone through thousands of robert warrens on the free trial on ancestry .co.uk,nothing.tried census,samuels birth est 1850sh.dont suppose you can see what you can come up with,or direct me into how i can find it. thanks pam



Selena

hi ya have sent for certificate hope i can go further. thanks ,pam

i was looking the other night and found the somerset house one so tried to order from that. should i try this one. pam

It shouldn't need the exact date, just the quarter, year, district, volume and reference. Here is an example (my great grandparents)

Marriages Mar 1902 (>99%)

New Amy Amelia St. Olave 1d 365
Poole David George St. Olave 1d 365

So they married during January, February and March in 1902. St Olave is the district, 1d is the Volume and 365 is the page number.

What website are you ordering from?

Selena

hi selena ,just wanted to ask ,iv tried on line to get a marriage certificate but it wants to know the day they got married any idea how i find this out . sorry to bother you with this but you are the only one i can ask thanks pam

Pam, feel free to post the other names that you are looking for ........... most people are happy to help, especially when you are new.

Off to put the dinner on but will check back later.


Selena

thanks so much for your help will let you know how i get on. pam

Just found her Pam,

Rosa L Warren born Oct/Dec 1916 ref 4b 184

LL

PS - if you post up the details of your other grandparents, someone will, I am sure, take a look to see if they can help.

just been talking to my dad he said rose was born between him and robert.he also said he thinks his mum lost 1 or more babies. pam

Pam,

I still can't find the birth for Rose, any idea on a year of birth.

Just noticed your father took the name of his younger brother who died.

LL

would you mind if i gave you info on my other gparents. dont expect you to do it now but when you can .thanks for your help i will keep in touch .pam ps, this must be fate i have a gdaughter named selina she is a twin. pam

Yes its a hobby, I've been doing it for five years. It can get expensive but you get lots of help from the other members on this site.

Selena

hope you dont mind me asking but do you do this as a hobby as im also trying to get info on my other grandparents. there is no one left to ask ,i should have started this when they were all alive. pam

Then I think marriage certificate of Robert and Elizabeth is the next step.

Also have you checked to see if anyone on site has matches in their tree? just put the names in the quick search box at the top of the page.

Good luck,

Selena

no asked him that, he said in those days they were just grandma and grandad. not like now mine know our name.PAM

Does you dad remember his grandparents names? If so you can ask for a 1901 look up for Robert and his father.

Selena

You can order online

www.gro.gov.uk

certificates should only ever cost 7 pounds. You will need the quarter, year district, volume and index number given above
