Maureen

Well done :-D :-D

O Catherine you certainly are a clever girl. Well done. :-D :-D :-D

LOOK what I've finally found:-


Marriages Mar 1848 (>99%)
DARLOW Mary Ann Oakham 15 866a
FORSTER James Oakham 15 866A

The district Oakham spans the boundaries of the counties of Leicestershire and Rutland

:-D :-D :-D :-D

Edwin was born in 1847 so the couple look as though they either couldn't marry in their own village or they weren't allowed to marry and so they ran away to get married in another place.

Well done team, looks as though we've cracked this one!

To be absolutely sure of Mary Anne's maiden name you still may have to invest in a birth certificate for one of the children though!

Hi Catherine,

At least there WAS a clue!!! Heck, all I had to do was sit back and wait while you and K found all the info!! ;-) ;-)

Maureen :-)

If this is Mary Ann's marriage:-

Marriages Mar 1844 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DARLOW Mary Ann Bedford 6 69
HART George Bedford 6 69

.............then that is probably why we can't find her marriage to James!

Hello there Maureen :-D
What a team!
Just goes to show how you have to follow the whole family through the census records in the hope of picking up a clue somewhere along the way.

I was thinking Edwin was illegitimate too but had to stop to put the dinner on as hubby has just arrived home.
Well done!

Right,K. I was getting off track on that one too,but I think this is the Mary Darlow who married the Hart fellow:

I do wonder if Mary Ann was a Darlow??

...................the birth certificate for Edwin would help as that would give you his mother's maiden name, but I can't even see that?
