Could someone please tell me if people fibbed that they were,
married on the censuses, would the woman take her other halfs,
name without gettimg married ?

Ray

Hi Joan

Thanks for replying

I am aware of false info on certs, but not sure if they made out
they married


Ray

In 1891 my great grandmother is shown as married to her 2nd husband. Their 3 daughters are with them, all registered in his name.
The couple actually married in 1892,
...no idea why they waited and then decided to wed, as both their previous spouses had died many years before.

Thanks Gwyn

It can be a right headache at times

My gggrandparents state they have been married for 59 years
in the 1911 census,
but 3 different marriage certs later, I still cant find them ?

Ray

59 years....?
That's alot even by today's standards.
Who are you looking for, ..and where ?

Gwyn

Gwyn

I am looking for William Kingsland c 1828 Islington

and Emma ? c 1833 Ware Herts

The only Emma I found was Emma Jones marrie 1884 Pancreas
I have this cert

also thought it might be Emma Sarah Bedford who married
in Bethnal Green 1852, but not to William

the other cert is for William Kingsland 1852 East London
but not to Emma

William is aparentley a Foundling, given the surname Kingsland
Kingsland Middlesex

they had a total of 22 children but not all survived,,,,just as well!

Ray

Do you not have a birth certificate for one of their children stating Emma's maiden name?
That might help to find a possible marriage.

Gwyn

Gwyn

I had not thought of that,,well done

I know who the children were so had not bothered with certs

Will do,,,,,,Thank you

Ray xx

Gwyn

I will tell you there is a gap of 26 years between the 1st and last born lol
1853 & 1879

Ray

Another possibility is that Emma had been married before so that any index ref for her second marrieage would have her first married name, not her maiden name. If that is the case, one of the children's birth certs should have this info on it.

Thank you Potty

I will send off for a birth cert,,and hope it sheds some light
