Find Ancestors

Did you see the marriage found by Choccy? Sarah looks to be Sarah Workman. Solved I think.

Thats definately Jospeh in 1911 in London - 'on his own'. aged 37

It would be quite common in 1899 not to show MMN, so at this moment, I believe still dont know Ada's mothers name

Thats a very interesting discovery......it may of course be a red herring - but it IS something else to follow up.
I need to find Sarah Anns name prior to her marriage to William Beckerton and perhaps take it from there.

I Appreciate everyones help - Ada was my dads mother ( dad now passed away, so I cant ask ) I really want to find out more about her parents
( without having to but too many certs if pos).......All I know is that Ada Workman always wore 'pearls' and dressed smart & her grandfather was a Minister of the church)......

I'm looking at this as Wootton-under-edge comes under Dursley - just pondering as to whether a change in partner went on! But to be honest I would get her birth cert.

There is no MMN on the Glos bmd record of the birth, which may suggest that Ada was illegitimate

I am trying to confirm the parents of :

Ada Lily Workman, born in Dursley, Gloucestershire..
Births Dec 1899
Workman Ada Lily Dursley 6a 279

I know that her father was Joseph Workman (a dentist and the son of a Weslyan Minister) - but I am not sure of her mothers name) - I dont have the cert yet.

Can someone please take a look for a marriage for Joseph.
( I have looked on Free BMD but cant see a marriage )

Also, if anyone has Ancestry or similar - could they please look for the 1901 /1911 census for these people .

I have Joseph at a dental school in London in 1901 - but cant find his wife & daughter........

This is Joseph:
1901 Census:
Joseph Workman Age: 27 Dental Student
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1874
Relation: Boarder Gender: Male
Where born: Wales
Civil Parish: St Marylebone
Ecclesiastical parish: St Marylebone and St Thomas Portman Square
Josephs parents were : Joseph Workman & Mary Hosegood.

It is Josephs wife that I am particularly interested in finding.

Many thanks
