SylviaInCanada

SylviaInCanada Report 8 Sep 2015 17:52

no

You have to buy the marriage certificate from GRO (General Register Office).

It will cost you £9.25, including postage.

Frances Report 8 Sep 2015 17:25

ah I see!! nobody found a marriage date did they? just that my auntie has it down that beatrice was born in 1866 and married in 1872 but that can't be right, she would have only been 6

Can I look at the marriage certificate at the library?

Frances asked .................

Frances Report 8 Sep 2015 08:32

So who is Hannibal? and Sarah Gribble was she just a friend?
----------


Hannibal is Beatrice's father ..........

You HAVE to buy the marriage certificate for Beatrice and James ...... that will give you Beatrice's age, and the names of their fathers.



Sarah Gribble appears to be a friend from "back home" ................ unless anyone can find a marriage further back that would show her to be an aunt or cousin.

found she married John Gribble in 1852 ...........

then started following John Gribble ..............

Beatrice Marton 14 b.ca 1867, Cornwall, Boarder, Scholar
John Marton 43 b.ca 1838, not known, Herefordshire, Boarder, Stone Mason

A John Martin, b. ca 1838, Kigsland, Herefordshire is living with his mother Ann, a Farmer, in Herefordshire on the 1871 census, unmarried, and a painter.

Is this the same John Mart*n as the one on the 1881 Census? In which case, he is probably no relation to Beatrice.
