There is a George Nicholls that married an Alice Gant at York in 1910 do you think this can be the marriage. Irene

There is an Ada C Nicholls born at York 1911 whose mother's maiden name is Gant. Hope this helps Irene

This is the marriage - but I know nothing else about George, not even how old he was and would love to trace him before this

so Ada catherine was born to Alice Gant & George Nicholls - yes?

The marriage cert will tell you both fathers names, and their ages

Can I get access to this on line??

Penny

Penny Report 26 Sep 2007 12:43

no, you have to buy it- the cert will cost you £7 from the general records office - you have to send away for it (or order on line is easier)

thing is, its pointless looking for even Alice Gant in 1901 census...

this is the obvious one

Name: Alice Gant
Age: 12
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1889
Relation: Daughter
Father's Name: George E
Mother's Name: Thornison
Gender: Female
Where born: Tadcaster, Yorkshire, England

Civil Parish: West Tadcaster
Ecclesiastical parish: Tadcaster St Mary
Town: Tadcaster
County/Island: Yorkshire
Country: England

Registration district: Tadcaster
Sub-registration district: Tadcaster
ED, institution, or vessel: 1
Neighbors: View others on page
Household schedule number: 215
Household Members: Name Age
Alice Gant 12
George E Gant 50
Loria Gant 9
Thornison Gant 46
Willie Gant 14



BUT there are 25 other Alice Gants all over the country - who may well have been in Yorks by 1910.

this Alices father was called George, and was a brewers Drayman - the marriage cert will tell you the brides fahers name & occ- if t matches this info, then you are away
Otherwise, we'll have to look deeper into the others
