Hi All - got a pm from Kirsten
"speaking to my nan again
the marriage you found was correct for doreen she married a man called richard first then divorced him and went and married a man called vic

i have also been told kenneth was married twice too he first married novella
(i believe her nickname was val then went on to marry a lady who lived in eastbourne i believe her name is something like florry (but my nan is unsure)"

Kenneth R Buckland Eunice A Xxxxxxx 1969q2 Stepney 5e 183

We can search the local indices for Tower Hamlets at:
http://www.thbmd.co.uk/
Unfortunately, there's no marrs online past 1900.

This is the sort of record I can get from them:
1 1857 Eliza J BUCKLAND /C82 23/10/
2 1857 George A TILLY /C82 23/10/
Now the marr of Eliza Jane and George Augustus is in the IGI:
20 AUG 1857 Saint Dunstan, Stepney, London, England
[Don't know that this Buckland is anything to do with ours - just needed some name for example]

So we can infer register C82 is St Dunstan. Some local ROs have a web page listing their registers (e.g., S Tyneside), and some incorporate the info into their display (e.g., lancashirebmd).
I was hoping to see if the register code for Ken R's two marrs was the same.
It's not clear how many Ken's there are.




Buckland-Howson kids

SPB 1950q3 Southwark 5d 629
TJB 1954q4 Yeovil 7c 355
TCB 1959q3 Eastbourne 5h 245

Cane-Buckland kids
There were 3 Cane-Buckland marrs (although Doreen's spouse is transcribed as Cave in index).
Douglas-Peggy wed at Tonbridge, Albert-Winifred wed at Hammersmith.
There are 2 kids b at Tonbridge 1947q4, 1951q3 and 2 at Hammersmith 1948q1, 1950q4, so it looks like none for Doreen-Richard


[Fuller details pm'ed to Kirsten]
EDIT Just read recent posts, and I guess it's clear there's 2 Kens.

hi yeh williams death was registered at southend on sea so was his wife two years before i doubled checked the info with my nan,(and she remembers them living there so maybe then the trevor on flickr and the trevor on the birth record is the same person? ( unless someone else had a son trevor to?)

Sorry, I meant Francis & Bessie. Named him after his brother. Both Kenneth & Trevor registered at Southend. Isn't that were WH Buckland's death was registered?

It's got to be him Kirsten. The Yeoman Gaoler was the 2nd in charge and carried the battleaxe as his badge of office. There would only be one Yeoman Gaoler at a time. And how many Bucklands would be a Yeoman at the Tower?

the marriage cert is on its way
i did manage to find williams death record earlier, he died in 1979 in thorpe bay southend on sea its states his birthday is 02/feb/ 1897 but looking up his birth record no one with that name was born in that year
so all i can do now is wait for the cert and hopefully it can fill in the gaps

I did wonder if Jack Buckland was actually JOHN Buckland.


Jack is a common "nickname" for John


When looking last night, I couldn't find any Jack Bucklands thta seemed to be of an age to have a child old enough to marry in 1916, but there were lots of John's.


I strongly suggest that you buy that marriage certificate.

It will tell you how old William was in 1916 (or how old he said he was!!), his occupation at that time, his father's name (Jack vs John), and an address.


The certificate weill cost £7, money well spent in my opnion to solve at least part of the problem.
