the William T Waight in the 1901 census

I believe was born William Thomas Waight in Poplar.

I think this might be the marriage

Marriages Jun 1886 (94%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BARNES Sarah Sebra Woolwich 1d 1487
RANCE John Walter Woolwich 1d 1487
SCUDAMORE Maria Elizabeth Woolwich 1d 1487
Waight William Thomas Woolwich 1d 1487


so could the elizabeth be the Maria Scudamore above and she swapped her middle name for first name.

again as someone has mentioned you will need to order certificates to confirm everything.

Have you got William and/or Elizabeth on a census? You mustn't assume that the marriage we have all found is the correct one - really you need to buy the birth certificate for one of their children.

According to 1901, Williams middle initial is T, not A as on the marriage above. It may have helped if you had said initially that you knew this already.

Hi Katy.
I have found a marriage of a William Arthur Waight to Elizabeth Ellen Darby in Kensington 1a 144b Mar 1883.
There seem to be a few Elizabeth births born after 1883 in the london area.
What information have you got /
Is it from a census ?

Hi im trying to find the maiden name of Elizabeth Waight. She was born c1864 and married William waight. Their first child Also Elizabeth waight was born in 1887 so i presume they got married shortly before then. I have yet to find the marriage records and the birth record i just found doesnt seem to have the maiden name on it?!
They were from the east end of london.
