The Kempley,Gloucestershire marriage is a mystery, why would they go there I wonder?

I just looked up the vicar and his wife on the1901 census....they are then living in Lambeth which is the area that Walter and Caroline come from..that's weird...or coincidence

It may be that if Caroline's family had connections with a church in Gloucestershire that they decided to use that to get married. They would probably have got cheap train travel!

Kevin Report 12 Jul 2014 11:28

LOL true.

I knew a man who worked on the railways all his life. When he retired he used to travel on the trains for free. He was an oap when I was small.

Probably missed something, but could Caroline have been working for the Vicar?

Flip Report 12 Jul 2014 16:58

I had the same thoughts Christine! There is this, could it be wife going to join husband?

From UK outbound passenger lists:
Caroline Stark
Gender:Female
Age:31
Birth Date:abt 1862
Departure Date:16 Sep 1893
Port of Departure:Liverpool, England
Destination Port:New York, USA
Ship Name:Campania
Search Ship Database:
Search the 'Campania' in the 'Passenger Ships and Images' database
Master:Hains

A "wife" travelling with Alice (4) and Wm (2) but not accompanied by her husband.

Edit, found them on NY arrivals but no more conclusive I'm afraid & I can't make out their final destination.

Christine, yes Caroline may have been working group for the vicar but why no paper trail after marriage?
