Hi Paul, Bow Common is a sub-district of Poplar. Deb:)

I have tried several times to find John Edwins marriage to a Lizzie (Elizabeth??) Daniels around 1908-1911..........but have so far not been able to find it???..........or am I not looking in the right place

1871...........

How can I thank you enough reggie............this is wonderful i am really really grateful. The Harvey/Barnes marriage looks a definite, so I will order the cert today and John Edwins birth cert as well............the census returns are wonderful, as they give all the siblings as well..............I just can't find the marriage for John Edwin and Lizzie Daniels

The only other possibility for not finding the marriage is there was a story of a coonection to Dublin, unproven, but I suppose its possible that they married in Dublin????????/

Did John & Lizzie have a child? If so, when and where was he/she born? Reg

i've just spoken to my mother and she think one of her Mother's brother or sisters may have been born in dublin, but she doesn't know which one or what year..........so not very helpful

Is this his memorial info? BARNES, JOHN EDWIN Initials: J E Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Private Regiment/Service: Essex Regiment Unit Text: 1st Bn. Date of Death: 25/04/1915 Service No: 8987 Casualty Type: Commonwealth War Dead Grave/Memorial Reference: Panel 144 to 150 or 229 to 233. Memorial: HELLES MEMORIAL Reg

Hi Reg, yes, this is the memorial info. i actually have his war medals as well, plus a photo of his inscription on the helles memorial. I am still struggling with the marriage though, but I am now assuming it was in Dublin, as I still cant find any reference to it.
