Many thanks for all the replies,of course I had the marriage for Rosanna's parents.On a related matter,up until this morning I had made an error when adding this family.I had previously found the marriage for a Mount Zion Clarke in Stoke in 1914 to an Albert Edward Bradbury.Up until this morning I had thought it was Mount Zion junior who married the Bradbury.I found the death though of a Mount Bradbury in 1944 and her birth was given as c 1865!So it was Mount Zion senior who married the Bradbury!I did find a later marriage for the Mount Zion junior to a Samuel C Bourne at Northwood Holy Trinity in 1927.

This all goes to show that it so very easy to take a wrong turn when adding info for your relatives!

Yes Catherine - you can't resist it lol!

All the one word for her daughters birth.

Births Mar 1897 Clarke Mountzion Stoke T. 6b 174

Great minds, and all that, rootgatherer :-)

Birth of daughter with the same name is registered as :-

Births Mar 1897 (>99%)
Clarke Mountzion Stoke T. 6b 174

can't see any other records with the same name so it really does seem to be unique.

Just love the name so looked for a possible marriage:-

Marriages Dec 1885 (>99%)
Chatwin Hannah Stoke T. 6b 325
xxxx Clarke George Stoke T. 6b 325
xxxx MATTHEWS Mount Zion Stoke T 6b 325
Stannay Joseph Stoke T 6b 325
Stanway Joseph Stoke T 6b 325

Mount Zion - what a super name! There is only 1 entry on Freebmd and that is for the marriage.
