John Report 24 Nov 2011 08:02

G'day all from Australia

I'm trying to find more information about my mothers parents, I found the marriage certificate:-

Richard Henry Robinson aged 23
Mary West aged 21

Both living at of 15 Debnams road.

Married 24th December 1911, St Kathrines, Rotherhithe. United Kindom

The parents are Thomas Charles Robinson ( labourer deceased)
Thomas Philip John West (labourer deceased).

I've asked my mum and she thinks that Thomas Philip john west possibly had a wife called Caroline, and that Marys birthday was 1st May and she had a brother called Tom who married an Alice, and also a sister called Caroline (possibly after her mother), who married a harry summers.

I can't find anything about the parents? what am I doing wrong?

Any help gratefully received.

thanks
John
