What other details are on the wedding cert?

Place, addresses, father's names, witnesses, occupations?

Please give full detail if you want us to help.

OOH, I did it again (sorry Reggie!!)

Sent this to Linda instead of thru the RIGHT channel. Forgive me please?


Hi Linda
Sorry to have not got back to you before..........
Many thanks for the details given for Arthur Adam.
Arthurs marriage certs say he was born in 'Fifeshire, Scotland'. Have subscribed to scotlandspeople on several occasions in the past couple of years, but can't trace a birth cert. for him. Until I have that I can't get details of his family. It's very odd - the only time he appears on UK Census is in the details of his marriage to Gertrude Jones in 1885. His age was 31, which puts his birthdate at about 1855, so I think the Arthur from Islington, is not him. Perhaps he changed his name?

Regards
Margot

could he have gone to Australia?


Australian Electoral Rolls, 1901-1936
about Arthur Granville Adam
Name: Arthur Granville Adam
Gender: Male
Electoral Year: 1901
State: Western Australia
District: Coolgardie
Subdistrict: Laverton

As Glitter Baby told you, the person on Ancestry has Arthur as being born in Islington.

This particular Arthur went on to marry

Vivian Frances Morrison in 1900

Location Claremont, Western Australia

There is a tree on Ancestry which gives Gertrude as dying in Australia in 1895


BUT that tree claims that Arthur was born 1867 Islington


Will be following this thread as Islington and Fife are quite a distance apart !!!

What exactly is it you want to know?

If your looking for Arthurs birth you need to be looking at ...

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk/

This is a pay to view site but you could also ask for a look up on the 'Records' board.
