And changed his name for some reason,mind you Arthur Henry does have more of a ring to it than plain Harry...

The best thing to do is check out ALL the childrens names born to Arthur and Jane and see if they add up to what we have on here.

Kathleen {kate}
Mary Jane
William Henry
Charles{charley}
Sarah ann
Susan Elizabeth
Florence
and Llilian.

Well,

I believe Viv has posted the correct info on 'Harry' born in Wincanton to William + Julia.

She posted 2 possible birth (the 1875 looks favourite, though it really could be either).

Either he lied about his age at marriage or, more likely, it has been mistranscribed on the cert? (He should be 35 'ish not 25 ! ).

Anyway, it looks like the mystery is now solved.

Add these 2 births and you get 6 aunties,plus a couple of uncles,Wiliam and Charles.
I make it 8 kids not 12,but maybe I have missed some.
If this is the correct family of course.....

Hi Dea,
The detail on my Gran (Jane) are correct, having spoken to several members of the family and a cousin to verify this. Her age on the marriage cert is also correct 23 in 1910 which would make her birth in 1882. I know that my Grandparents had about 12 children according to my gran when she was alive, but i only knew about six Aunties. including my mother. In the 1911 census info from Viv. some of the children born would have made Jane 9,11, 13 and 15 yrs old at their births which would have been to young, they did have a daughter Sarah Ann born in 1909. It get's more confusing with more info.

Hi Terry,

The one thing which does 'jump out at me' from those marriage details is that all the info we have so far points to Arthur Henry being born c 1876/77.

The one on this marriage cert puts him at being born c 1885. - Whereas he may have lied about his age, it is a big difference. - I just wonder if we have the correct marriage here?

Also the couple on 1911 say they have been married for 11 years which again could be a lie as they had several children before 1911.

Are you absolutely sure this marriage cert relates to 'your' Arthur Henry?

What other info do you have on him which you know to be correct?

1911 he says he is born Wincanton,same in 1901 where he is Harry, with wife Jane and baby Kathleen,known as Kate,in Plymouth
same birth place in 1891,and 1881 and a little sister Kate with them
With father William
Bet that Kate turns out to be another Kathleen.
I think he was born Harry myself and changed his name.
But I am more than willing to be proved wrong ......

A second marriage it would seem as they have not been married a full year it says.
After checking the image they say they have been married 11 yrs.
NIL is in the column for Janes occupation.
OR they didnt marry before the first lot of kids came alng?/
