His marriage cert should have fathers details (if known) to help trace him in earlier census records

Gladys his daughter 1907 was my gran

Catherine

Catherine Report 3 Jan 2012 14:46

If there's no father's name on marriage cert. then he could very well have been illegitimate.

What was his profession on the cert. and what did he give as his address?

Were there any witnesses for him?

Braken

Braken Report 3 Jan 2012 14:50

Catherine the census in 1901 in kent I think is the wrong one as he was in stockton then he married Elizabeth in 1902 at St Paul's thornaby Mboro

Catherine

Catherine Report 3 Jan 2012 14:51

Braken,
Wasn't sure if you had made a typing error for the date of birth of Frederick (son) or if you had, as you have said, just added him on as he was born after the census. Now I know.

Catherine

Braken,
No I don't think the 1901 Rochester one is correct either.
I posted it to show that the Frederick born Rochester, Kent was still in Kent in 1901. When there are multiple possibilities, it is always good to try to trace the others to try and eliminate them from your research.
