Find Ancestors

Hi
I hoping someone could help me please.
Im trying to find out who Barbara Byle was,I have her on a marriage cert marrying a Golden Hope,
the marriage is the 14th Dec 1875 at Lewes,Sussex,
she is aged 20,and Golden aged 23,
her father is named as Edward[deceased] Byle,
her address is hard to read but it looks like St Johns.
I can not seem to find her before or after her marriage,im hoping someone can help,thanks

Have you found Golden after the marriage? (What a name!)

I can only find a Golden Hope with a wife called Ellen - not Barbara.

hi Jan no he seems to of disappeared as well

Kath is he the right age...the one you found i think could be his father

Maybe they emigrated?

Sorry - yes he may be the father. His birth year in the 1891 census is given as 1821.

Hi Flick,your clarity is correct,this Golden is the father

1871 that is the Golden,age 20 in question

No death on freebmd for Edward Byle..but deceased fathers were often invented to cover illegitimacy

ok thanks for that Flick I will keep that in mind

Does the surname on the certificate definitely look like Byle? Is it possible that the original was copied wrongly onto the index?

Kath. x

it looks like Byle ive looked at the other letters and writting to compare it

This is just an idea - and could be absolute rubbish - but on the 1871 census there is a Barbara Bayley in Rye, Sussex who is a servant with a family. A couple of doors away is a family of Bayley's where the head is called Edward Bayley (could be Barbara's father).

Do you think it is possible that with the local accent (don't know what the accent is like down there) that Bayley could have been mis-heard as Byle?

I could be completely off the mark.
