I cant find a Hill/Robins marriage either or a connection to Alfred George Britton ( husband of Frances)

How frustrating! I've typed out all the info first, then copied and pasted but it's not all appearing in my post. Have tried several times and before I hit submit the info is all there but when the post appears it's just a few lines. Will edit my post above as it makes little sense and try again later.

Julie

Edit. Nope, tried several times but still not working, must be a glitch in the system. Will try again tomorrow.

Mike, it was about the marriages you posted earlier. If you look for Eva Jane Biddle in 1911 you'll see the connection. I'm logging off for the night!

Think you've posted the wrong marriage....No Eva

Edit: deleting info as it was incomplete.

Julie

still looking for a marriage or death of Amelia Kate

thanks mike, strange coincidence, however she was born in 1871 near Ilfracombe.

Probably just co-incidence but in view of the Webber surname ....


Births Mar 1874
Webber Amelia Kate B - Stoke D. 5b 337

Still can't find her ...

Thanks for that Argyllgran,

Jacqueline, yes only found five children. John the mason married Jane Butler in 1862, she was a bit older that John, and pregnant then, and the twins would be born when she was about 42 or 43, so I too, have concluded that Jane's dead child might well have been born and died between the censuses.

So I am back to looking for a marriage for her, or death again.

I downloaded an Edward E Britton and Amelia 1911, as she admits a north devon birth, but she may have been ~Amelia Hill, and I cannot find a previous Amelia to Hill marriage, in case she was married twice, so have lost my way on that one. I got this in case this Edward Britton was related to her sister's husband, and the family lived in Cardiff for a while.
.....
thanks very much

John's name was recorded as Robbins when he married Jane

The differences can be attributed to the fact that they probably didn't know how to spell, and the officials wrote what they thought was correct

There were only 5 children listed in 1871 and 1881, and you only refer to 5 names, so one has to assume that child who died pre-1911 was unlikely to be Amelia

That one you found in 1901 is the wife of a James Robin, and has a son James.

Thank you so so much for all your work folks. I too discovered most of your above results/replies .. but just to say.. the John and Jane with Emily is certainly the wrong family.

I had not got the 1911 about the mother Jane Butler/Robins, and the admission of one dead child ... that is a revelation as it narrows the search for Amelia Kate, but still do not have her from 1891 ...

The Amelia Kate B marrying in Bristol, I think is not her, as I found a lot older birth in the Bristol area for this name, so logically this in another person.

I'm reticent to buy certs until am convinced it is the correct one .. but a really good suggestion.

William John V Webber turned out to be Voisey [or Voysey - i forget] on 1901 and he died shortly after, and subsequent remarriage for Frances.

Thank you so much for your expertise, this has taken about a year to sort on and off, but would now like to "bury" Amelia.

p.s. the marriage in 1891 I don't think is correct for my girl, but Walter Hooke Taylor's birth might have been recorded as Walter Turk Taylor ???

I found this but, there are three Amelias born in Devon around her birth date, so unsure.
