What evidence do you have that Clara married John around 1874?

Could the marraige have occurred earlier?

CLARA BORN ABOUT 1839 WOODVILLE AREA I BELEIVE

BUT ONLY BIRTH I COULD SEE FOR A CLARA WAS A CLARA ARMSON IN 1858 CHURCH GRESLEY

As John is widowed in 1891, one would expect to find Clara's death.........I haven't been able to...........not under the surname Pickering.

So, maybe they weren't actually married...........

It is possible that John was not Clara's first husband.

I see that she lists her birthplace as Swadlincote. The reg'n district would be Burton upon Trent

Pete Report 8 Nov 2007 13:34

Sarah,

I still cannot work out how you know Clara's maiden name. Unless you get the birth certificate for one of John and Clara's children it is all guesswork.

Have you found her death?

Pete

hi sarah.
ive been looking at your
eliza,some things dont add up... there are 2 eliza pickerings in derbyshire 1871 cencus.
one b 1837..(on index 1837-1874)
.and yours b 1841.... the one b 1837 is dead by 1881 .she died j/a/s 1874...(note the b yr)ive followed her.

the male born j/a/s 1874 also died j/a/s 1874..(1837 elizas ,son)?

on the 1891 cencus in the with with "clara" and john is minnie...this is her birth

Minnie Pickering 1874 Jan-Feb-Mar Ashby de la Zouch Derbyshire, Leicestershire

so for the eliza 1874 death to be
yours she would have to have got pregnant withins weeks to have another child in the sept. has the person got any certs? you realy need to get one children after 1874..i still think the 1889 is your eliza death,,,there no marriage or a death for clara...

As both Eliza and Clara were born Swadlingcote in about the same year might it just be that the enumerator misread Eliza as Clara - it can be easily done.
Get the birth cert for Emma - that will confirm the mother's name.
