hi ian
it could be possible that they have it wrong

in my tree one of them were john henry but was known as harry only found out when i found the marriage cert

Yes it is possible Ian.

Quite often members copy information from other members trees without bothering to check out the information themselves.

Gritty
Your Death details ties in with a family members memory of her grandfather died when she was a small girl around late 1950's

Littlelegs
Could you please confirm the name of Harry Leach and Florence Gertrude Lee on your marriage details for Nottingham 1912.

What age is given for Florence on the marriage certificate, could he have doctored his age a little to make their ages more comparable?
(e.g. IF she was b Notts, the only Florence Gertrude Lee registered birth in Notts 1895 +/- 10 years was born Q41892, making her only 19 at marriage)

Florence is given aged 21 years

Mother Mary appears as Mary Jane Leach (Widow) on the 1911 census.

With daughter Mary Jane and a Richard Barrett. It states "Wife" but Richard Barrett is single.

That's the 'proof' PH that we have the correct family! Mother was living at 39 Island Street- same as on Harry's marriage :-D

Labourer for Braithwaite Builders, Newark at Attestation
Attested as a Militiaman for 6 years so may have transferred to Regulars and gone to a different regiment as per 1911 census that was posted earlier

EDIT - Forms completed naming him as Henry Leach, but he has signed as Harry

To Northumberland Fusiliers 1903

Piece of paper in with his documents, but no name on it, gives an address of 7 Tomlinson's Yard, Castle Gate, Newark, Notts (fits 1901 census address)

Marriage Register Office, maybe Florence told a little porky too. Who was down as her Father and his occupation, should have asked before. Perhaps you have her details, but if not we could perhaps find her in census too to confirm.

good luck with your research now ian

the offer is there any time

I wonder if this is Mary eventually marrying Richard Barratt.....
