That isnt them on the 1901 - sorry about altering the search criteria by wrong date

N
x :-(

So that alters the search criteria :-)

I am trying to go back on both families, if possible.

Nicki

Apologies wedding date was 1892

Thomas Wallis is down as labourer and John Hill as General Labourer.

The witnesses are C Jessup and Julia Taylor

Have you checked freebmd to make sure that they didn't die?

Or do you know that they had children?

Is this them on the 1901?

Hi Nicki

What is the occupation of the fathers and who were the witnesess'

They married in 1892, not 1872


London, England, Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921
Name: Edward Wallis Labourer
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1872
Age: 20
Spouse Name: Lydia Hill
Spouse Age: 20
Record Type: Marriage
Event Date: 13 Nov 1892
Parish: Walworth St Peter
Borough: Southwark
Father Name: Thomas Wallis Labourer
Spouse Father Name: John Hill General dealer
Register Type: Parish Register

I have a marriage certificate for Lydia & Edward dated 13 November 1892 both are aged 20. Lydia's father is listed as John Hill and is deceased. Edward's father is listed as Thomas Wallis. Edward is listed as living at 33 East Street and Lydia Hill as living at 15 Williams Place. The marriage took place The Parish Church in the Parish of St Peter Walworth.

Although I have Ancestry and Findmypast membership I am having great difficulty in finding these families on the 1881and 1891 census records.

I would be really grateful for any help anyone can give me.

Many thanks

Nicki
