thanks Dea! Well if John died in 1869 - that rules him out of the 1871 census - there are so many weird spellings of Gatford. Thomas was probably still in the army.

Sorry Stephen,

I HAVE been looking but have not been able to find them on 1871 for you.

I will keep searching and let you know if I find them.

I have to say that it's not looking promising though.

Dea x

anyone had any luck finding them in 1871?

the question is where is everyone in 1871? is Thomas still in the army, where are John and charlotte - is John dead at this time?

thanks everyone for working so hard!, looks like maybe they never married

Stephen 's first Census is missing the fact that John was a Bricklayer,as is the one in my thread 1881 Census
So i think the 1893 Death is correct

John Gatford marriage 14.12.1835 St.George the Martyr,Southwark
Spouse Mary Ann Martin

This is Bernard and Charlotte living in Kirkmans Place in 1841. Charlotte does not show on any census at all with this family so maybe she died. In later census it is spelled Connelly or Connelley. There is a death for a Charlotte Connelley in 1850.

What exactly are you wanting to find. A marriage certificate? .First census after marriage is usually not found .Marriage is usually around first born child.Someone bring me up to speed .the threads are confusing.

Hi Dea,
luckily that original MR is on ancestry......she is under the name Charlotte Connoley + John Gatford, all ties in with parents names/occupations.........address is vauxhall street Lambeth?..........thats thomas henrys death Ellen

Ancestry death
Thomas Henry Gatford
Birth c 1839
Death dec 1900 Lewisham,Greater London
Vol 1

Unless you have 'pots' of money to waste Stephen, I would hold off from buying that cert as it will only prove that the Charlotte who lived next door to him had the parents we already know about!

Perhaps it would be 'better spent' on the marriage cert for Charlotte and John which would at least prove that this was the Charlotte he married?

We then need to look further on John to see if we can find a death.

Possibly, as you suggest, Thomas may have just 'stepped in' and they were not actually married.

It would be interesting to see 'their' children's birth + marriage certs to see who the 'father' was ?

I am sure we have the wrong BR now!......better go and order the new one!
