Find Ancestors

Marilyn,

Have you found either Edward or Emma in any UK census?

Marilyn,

If you have a copy of the marriage certificate who are the witnesses?

Also which came first to you, the death certificate or the marriage certificate?

To which of the possibly 2 Edward Pugh's are you connected, the one who married or the one who died in Australia? If the latter have you a record of when he/they came to Australia?

What is this reference you mention, ""Children: Edith 47 years - Edward 45 years."? If related to the death record in 1927 then both of the children mentioned would have been before the 1892 marriage took place.

There are several possible births for Edward Pugh between 1844 and 1859 in both Staffordshire and Worcestershire.

I would have thought it rather unusual for the age to be so far out unless it has been misrecorded or mistranscribed.

If aged 33 in 1892 then birth would be about 1859.

If aged 83 in 1927 then birth would be about 1844

The marriage was definitely in Staffordshire:

Hall Ellen Maria Wolstanton 6b 209
LLOYD James Wolstanton 6b 209

Incidentally "Malwon Hills" must surely be Malvern Hills which are in Worcestershire

Hi Marilyn, welcome to the boards.

Could you be specific about which parts conflict?

If it's the age and marriage then that's not unusual! The information given on a death certificate is only as good as the informant's knowledge.

EDIT: Do apologise for not correctly calculating the anomalies, as per Jonesey's comments below (he's always right ;-) )

I have conflicting information on Edward Pugh's Death & Marriage Certs. Marriage Cert: 27th Nov 1892 - Parish: Newchapel - County: Staffordshire - age: 33 - Bachelor - Stoker - Resd: Whitehills - Father: Edward Pugh Gasfitter. He married Emma Daniels - age:32 - Spinster - Resd: Whitehills - Father John Daniels Carver.
The Death Cert. 3rd August 1927 - at Diamantina Hospital Brisbane Queensland Aust. - Aga: 83 - Born: Malwon Hills, Worcestershire, England - Father: Edward Pugh Labourer - Mother: Emma Edith - Marriage: Malwon Hills, Worcestershire 25 years Emma Daniels - Children: Edith 47 years - Edward 45 years.

This is conflicting information and I can't find any Births that agree with these Certs. Can anyone help me?
