Find Ancestors

Hi can someone please help me. Harry Horton born abt 1898 Birmingham Warwickshire, I cant find his marriage or the name of his wife. On the 1901 UK census she is recorded as W G Horton age 37 born Glouster. Harry is a Pork Butcher, they are living at Nechells Park Rd, Birmingham. Children are listed as E H Horton 8yrs born Wolverhampton, (Edith Harriet), A W Horton age 6 born 1895 Aston (Alfred William), and H J Horton age 3 born Birmingham (Harry Joseph). I have tracked Harry and the 3 children to New Zealand, but have been unable to find his wife, as not sure of her name. There is also a daughter, Constance born 31st Oct 1901, but have been unable to find out where she was born, (constance is mentioned as a sister to Edith on Edith's marriage). Looking forward to replys

check you dates please!

You need the birth certificate of a child for her maiden name, and the possibility that she has been married previously because of her age?

a birth cert would tell you her name ( and her maiden name)

Sorry, Harry Horton born abt 1864, yes I thought that might be the case, but was hoping to get away without having to buy another cert. Thanks anyway

Julie Ann - do you know when they went to NZ?

No sorry, unable to find shipping records. Harry's brother Charles and family also came to NZ,. Ralph Horton another brother (my Great Grandfather) also came, we thought he was the only one, until last week. Charles's wife is Mary, Ralphs was Edith, Ralph died not long after comming to NZ my Grandmother was only 9mths old when he died. Ralph and Edith arrived in NZ Jan 1913

Posting this as a possible, but to be sure you need the child's birth cert

Wow thanks for that, was a shame his wife is listed as Mrs Horton. I wonder if she died on board the ship

ever thought they were cagey about her proper name because they weren't actually married?

I wondered the same thing

Good point Tracey - perhaps she was still married to someone else?

Is see there is a 19 year old ES Fletcher on the 1901? Who are they?

EDIT: Damn! They were a servant!

could be Constance?
