I have a relative who married in Fulham, London. His place of residence in 1912 was apparantly
Harborough **imory/**imety/infirmary/finery?

its driving me a little mad!
if it helps he was a 'shunter' so i assume he worked on railways, perhaps he had work related lodgings?

Please throw some ideas at me, its terribly loopy writing!

Thanks

can you give us full details, name etc.

If you like, I'll take a look........if you can scan it, send it in a PM

Or look for him in 1911.................

William Henry/Harry Jamieson
( again middle name undecipherable)
Married 20/12/1912 and was 25 at the time.

Bachelor, rnkk profession- shunter.
Residence Harborough ******
Father John Jamieson (deceased) who was a Labourer.

ive no scanner, and cant seem to find him on 1911.
I dont know when his father John died so cant use him as a checking reference on the census. Ive no idea where William jamieson was born, likely to be scotland with that name though.

All the ones ive found on the census of the date of birth 1885-1889 have a father of a different name.

I cant get any further with this branch at the moment.

Thankyou for your input and ideas

I've had a look at the certificate and I'd say his middle name was Henry. I'd agree with Lindsey re: the residence.

EDIT: On second thoughts, if you look at the G on Gooch it's nothing like the first letter of what we thought was Grimsby.

Flick - if you're good at indecipherables I could send the image to you?

Presume this is his marriage.

I thought its wan an F rather than a G, but when you look at the f on Fulham its nothing like it

Thanks folks

Have you got a printer with a scanner.

Sue - I've saved the image if you want to have a look?

I'm going back towards the Grimsby option, but perhaps with a lower case G.

Maria Celeste,I will pm you my addy.
Thanks

Thankyou ladies, if i can get the right residence it will help me to track him down on a 1911 census.
i think im just having a 'cant see the wood for the trees day'

itys much appreciated

There is a Habrough a few miles from Grimsby. There is a Henry on the previous marriage page, looks very much the same handwriting. There were also quite a few weddings that day, maybe the vicar was getting tired writing out the certificates and the G in Grimsby slipped.

it looks very much like FINSBURY to me.which makes more sense as why would someone living in Grimsby be getting wed in London.
Why I say Finsbury is because compare the f of Finsbury to the F in the OF in Parish ch of

His occupation was a "shunter" which I guess is on the railways? (Checked Railway records for him - no sign). I don't know much about railway workers - would a shunter work in one location or travel around on the trains?

If the latter, that might explain why he lived some way away at the time of marriage.

His wife was born 1895 in Wandsworth,so that would be the reason he married there.

They must have stayed in Fulham as their daughter was born there 1915.

There son was born 1924 in Rochford..Essex,so he didn't move around that much then.

On Ancestry if anyone wants to take a look

Name: Kathleen Anne Elizabeth Gooch
Age: 17
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1895
Spouse Name: William Harry Jamieson
Spouse Age: 25
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 25 Dec 1912
Parish: Fulham St Matthew
Borough: Hammersmith and Fulham
Father Name: Charles William Gooch
Spouse Father Name: John Jamieson
Register Type: Parish Register


His signature looks like William Henry

I think it says Haborough Grimsby on London marriage records on Ancestry.

William signs his middle name as Henry.

I would also go for Grimsby.
The last letter before the Y is a tall letter and the address of Kathleen is shown as Rosebury Road.
The mystery place looks nothing like the ......bury of that address.

I notice both fathers are shown as 'deceased'.
I wonder if they were or was that said to avoid awkward questions of consent due to the bride's young age?
