Only marriage I could find for John Fretwell to Florence ?:-

Marriages Sep 1895 (>99%)
Fretwell John Francis Ecclesall B. 9c 507
Hammond Walter Harry Ecclesall B. 9c 507
Rowbotham Beatrice Ecclesall B. 9c 507
Shaw Florence Ecclesall B. 9c 507
The district Ecclesall B. is an alternative name for Ecclesall Bierlow and it spans the boundaries of the counties of Derbyshire and West Riding of Yorkshire

so possible he married twice?

EDIT:-
so 1911 says they were married for 26yrs!
Which means they would have married in 1885 and not 1895?

Just thought..........................
In 1911 Florence is 41yrs. old so if she was married for 26yrs. that means she would have been 15 when she married.............that can't be correct?

Thankyou all, you have come up with the right marriage, but the Wakefield John is the wrong one, I have that cert if anyone wants it.

The John/Florence marriage may be his father but seems to late.

Wonder if this is the John you are looking for !!!?
William may have been added afterwards

Births December (quarter) 1893
Fretwell John
Chesterfield 7b 707

I'm just wondering if John was born before the couple married and so may be registered under his mothers maiden name?

This one is the same reg.district as the marriage so possible birth?

Births Jun 1891 (>99%)
Shaw John William Ecclesall B. 9c 452

I'm wondering if this is John and Florence in 1891:

That looks interesting, Maureen!

and if Revel is her maiden name, then this could be a possible birth?

Births Jun 1891
Revill John William Chesterfield 7b 784

I'd be willing to bet on that one,Catherine!!!!

Annina-you might want to get one of the younger siblings birth cert just to make certain of Flo's maiden name.

Maureen

Thankyou everyone, You have come up with OH's grandfather,and gt grandparents marriages.

Now we have to solve John William's birth. The Ecclesall Bierlow is a red herring, and I don't think the Chesterfield one is right ( Iv'e seen those on census records)

Now I can order his marriage cert, and his proper name will be on that, although he was always known as John Will to everyone, Plus that is on the census.

Once again, thanks a million for all your kind help, love Nina from Sheffield

Thanks ladies for helping, I thought that I would update this thread and tell you that I have sent for the cert of John William Revell.

Also sent for the wedding cert of John seniors wedding.

Watch this space and I will tell you all if your kind help has paid off.

Thanks again ,Nina from Sheffield.

Oh good,Nina! I always love to hear if we've bet other people's money on the right horse. lol
