I have a marriage cert. for William Michael Canny and Rebecca Bowers Blake who married at St. Barnabas Church, parish of St. Luke, Middlesex on 16th July 1871. The bride was a minor and her father was Thomas Bowers Blake. I can find no record of Rebecca's birth or the birth and marriage of Thomas; any help will be much appreciated. |

Have you found William and Rebecca on the 1881 census? |

There's a tree on Ancestry that has Rebecca Bowers Blake married first to Michael or W. Canny, 2 children from that marriage. He died 1880. She then married John W. Doherty and had 4 more children. |

Ancestry trees. Hmm. To be taken with a rock of salt. There's no Doherty-Canny marriage in the GRO. |

This is how the 1901 census reads, Janey. |

I'd go with the relationships being to Phyllis. |

I agree, fellow Canuck. |

And quite possibly Alice should have been recorded as Doherty, but the enumerator *really* didn't care! |

Thanks to all who replied, especially Margaret Manson, Barbara and JaneyCanuck. I'm sure the links you have suggested are the right ones, and will follow them up. And JaneyCanuck, your comments at 18.12 p.m. were spot on - Phyllis (my grandmother) was Rebecca's daughter in law and the rest of that census entry is very dodgy! |

Hi guys....3 years later !!....Alice Louise Canny was my grandmother. In the 1901 census her mother Phyllis was living with her mother in law Rebecca with her 2 children Alice and William. My problem is where is Rebecca's son, Phyllis's husband William Ernest Canny ? |

Hi Lisa, if you want to reach Michael you should click on his name and try to contact him by private message. Over two years later, he may not be looking for replies. |

Did you search for his marriage at FreeBMD? |

I see where we are. Phyllis in 1901 was William's wife -- nobody ever came out and said so. |
