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

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)

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

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

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

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

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