Find Ancestors

Please helpme I am really stuck

I am trying to find the marriage record between
John Henry Thomas bn 1877 in Birmingham and Hannah Cecila Mapp bn Dec 1871 in Birmingham this would have been around 1908 as their son William was bn in 1909.

Now both of these had been married before, John had married a Rose Rotherham ( who died in 1974) and Hannah had married a Arthur Hague in 1890.

Now, family say that John and Hannah were married ( and I would love to find the Marriage cert so I can find Johns fathers name) and my hubby’s Grandmother who was married to John and Celia’s son William is still alive age 97 and can still remember John and Cecilia and has agreed John had also married Rose,but does not know why they split up.

Can anyone help me out here or was they infact – living in sin!

Cheers

Hannahs details are correct - her dad worked at Cadburys in Bounville !!

Now for John it is either Richard and Fanny as parents of Edwin and Mary which is why I need the marraige cert,

John's Father's name will also be on the marriage certificate to Rose, but I cannot see a marriage. Do you know when it is believed to have happened, and how did you know her name?
Thanks

Joy has found marriage of John and Hannah 1918 though hasn't she?

Hi

My husbands Gran remembers both Rose and Hannah and this is recorded in a bible with his childrens names from both ' wives's as here husband use to visit his half siblings - as John was still still single in 1901 census and Hannah married arthur in 1890

Surely if Hannah had been married to Arthur Hague then her marriage in 1918 should be in the name of Hague and not Mapp?

Although there is this:

Marriages Sep 1890
Brookes Constance Annie Aston 6d 597
GROOM Vincent Aston 6d 597
Hague Arthur Aston 6d 597
MAPP Hannah Cecilia Aston 6d 597

The 1911 census says they have been married 9 years, 5 children, 3 living, 2 had died.

I agree her married name should be used for 2nd marriage, but what are the chances of another couple with these names marrying in Birmingham? I would get the cert and see what it says.

John doesn't seem to be married to a Rose in either 1891 or 1901 censuses.

What were the names of John & Rose's children according to the family bible?

Good chance to be John in 1901, given the occupation compared to 1911:

THOMAS, Richard Head Married M 52 1849 Brass Worker B'ham Warwickshire

Thanks again

I have PM'd Joy for the BMD details as I still can not find them, not sure why,

I am 100% sure John had 2 partners (Rose and hannah) and the family always refered to Hannah as Hannah Ceceila Mapp, but I do not think anyone knew she had been married before, however I am sure it is the same Hannah that married Arthur Hague in 1890.

I have Hannahs family going back some way, but never found a trace of her marraige to john thomas even though i searched on th surname Mapp and Hague.

Strange but very confussing :-S

Gaynor, I'm not finding a death of a Rose Thomas in 1974 who would be of a suitable age - unless she remarried?

This is getting confusing! This seems to be Arthur & Hannah's son, George in 1901:
