Thanks!

From the Freereg site:

Richard Whitlock born 23 Jul 1841, baptised 22 Aug 1841 at St Mary the Virgin, Stoke Bruerne. Son of John (a tailor) and Rebecca

Do look at this site as Stoke Bruerne is well-covered and there are lots of Whitlocks.

Sally, I'll have a look at the census for you but I think you need to get a copy of the marriage certificate. The reference is Farnham district July-Sep 1911 vol 2A page 321

The certificate will give their father's names and, hopefully, their ages which would enable us to pinpoint them in the records.

Best wishes

Kim

Sally, if you buy the marriage cert, it should give you Harry's father's name and occupation and Harry's age and occupation. You can then look for Harry on the 1911 census which should show his age and POB.

Their marriage registration:

Hi all,

Struggling to find any info on their marriage and their parents. They married in 1911 in the Farnham district. Elsie was born in Brighton. They had a son, Victor (my grandad). I have no information as to where Harry was born. The only info I have on him is that he left Elsie (tut tut) and moved to South Africa.

Any info that anybody can dig up, then I'd appreciate it very much.

Thanks,
Sally
