It is not wise to post your email address, despite you asking for no spam, you may well get exactly that!!

People will post replies onto this thread. This also saves people from looking for information that someone else may already have found.

Can you give us all the details from the marriage certficate please. Who is Martha, where has that name come from?

I managed to get a marriage certificate of Hannah Robinson (nee Watkins) to Duke William Day. It says Henry Watkins was the father of Hannah on that certificate. I couldn't trace any of these records as below: Hannah was born around 1858 in Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, Wales.

Hannah's birth or 1st marriage to William Robinson;
Hannah's 1861 census record;
Henry Watkins marriage to Martha;
Henry Watkins or Martha's record on 1861 census.
Henry Watkins' parish records.

I only have one of Hannah's marriage certificate, death certificate and her parents Henry and Martha's death certificates.

I cannot trace Hannah or her parents on 1841, 1851 or 1861 censuses. I neither can trace Henry Watkins parish birth record on IGI (www.familysearch.org supposedly from Derbyshire). Neither can I find a marriage record of Henry to Martha.

Can someone out there help me with my query? Most grateful in advance.

Regards,

Caz
