Hi Mary
I'm still not sure because the father is dead on the 1891 census.
Many thanks

Arthur Owen Theodore Williams and Annie Amelia Parker

Hi
Can anyone tell me does the father have to be alive to be entered as the father on a marriage certificate.

Thanks Carol

The father doesn't have to be alive to be entered but often deceased was listed by the father's name if he had already died

Thanks K

Hi
I'm still looking for George Sidney(Sydney)Bennett. I think it is him on the 1901 census born in Stratford, London in1873 and living in Whittingham, Staffordshire with Lydia, although it says Minnier her name was Lydia Minna Issabell but I still cant find his actual birth. It is very confusing because the birth certificate that I sent for refers to George Sydney born 12th March 1872 Maryland Road Stratford but father George not Charles as on the marriage certificate. Could this be the same I don't no, also George has died by the 1891 census and it dosen't say deceased against the fathers name on the marriage certificate.
I would be very gratefull for any help!
Thanks Carol

Carol,

I really think previous people are correct and the George living with Jemima is the correct one even though George is listed as hos father. The military records on Ancestry list both his wife and mother in the same record and list all his children.

There are no other Jemima Bennett's that I can see that would fit as his mother. When I said that the father on a marriage cert could be list as deceased if he had died this doesn't always happen, If his father died when George was young he may have mixed up his first name.

Have you looked at the miliatry records on Ancestry? If not I think you would find the detial useful. I am off to work now but if you send me a pm with your email address I will try to download them this weekend and send you them.

Hi Kayx

Thanks very much for your time and trouble I do appreciate it, and especially at that time of the day!

I think I will have to join Ancestry it seems to be a better site for miliatry information. If I still struggle I will get back to you, if thats ok.

Thanks again for all your help.

Regards Carol

Good Luck - Should also mention that in 1891 George - son of Jemima is listed as being born in Stratford which matches the 1901 record of birth

Can anyone help, I'm Still searching for George!
