Yes I believe this is Matilda's marriage

Just because of the odd place of birth on the 1891-I wondered if this adds up:

Hi Maureen
That is all so clever. I have ordered the marriage cert. I so would like to prove your findings right because all the names seem to tie in but watch this space

Wonder if when she was asked for mother's maiden name she gave HER mother's maiden name by mistake ?

Mike-That's exactly what I was thinking. :-)

Chris-I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Maureen

Thanks you everyone will pop back when I have received the marriage cert

Cambridge Independent Press 05 April 1862

Mary Foreman, widow, of Littleport, apprehended on warrant using threats towards Mary Barrett, married woman, of the same place. Ordered to find one surety £5 for one month.


(Matilda is with Brother George Littleport 1861, James and Mary Barrett next page on Census, also High Street)

(can't see Henry!)

Hi everyone. Update!
I have received the wedding cert of Alfred and Matilda. 6/6/1881 in Parish Church Lee, Kent
Matilda Forman aged 22, Spinster. Father Henry Forman - Labourer.
Witnesses Charles North and AEC Law or Low

Problems - marriage 1881 both Alfred and Matilda ages as 22?
1st daughter Matilda born in 1869?
6 children by the time they married?
(Thinking out loud)

They could not have produced children in 1869/70

What was the groom's father's name?

..............this would tell you the MMN

Births Jun 1869 (>99%)
Holland Matilda Greenwich 1d 664

Grooms Father James Holland - Carpenter
I have James William Hollands born 1812 Greenwich married to Emma Davis in 1834 as Alfreds father

IF.......and it's big IF.......they were both actually 32 when they married, it would make more sense

You haven't answered the question about Alfred's status at the time of the marriage..............

Alfred was Bachelor

Alfred married Harriet Waters in 1899 on marriage cert he is 52, a widower his father is James Holland - Carpenter

Louisa's birth cert says formerly Matilda Barrett

Any ideas where I can go now?

Would get the 1869 Matilda, as Reggie posted, see what that gives...
