Hi All

I'm rrying to find the wife of Charles William Pelham but on the following BMD info I can't find her.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marriages Sep 1891 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cowee Edward Daniel Fulham 1a 545
Harmes Florence Eliza Fulham 1a 545
Pelham Charles William Fulham 1a 545

I've tried to follow the BMD instructions when only one spouse can be found but I keep going round in circles

I've checked the 1901 census & I'm happy that Edward Cowee was married to Florence Harmes

Her name was Annie

Could someone please advise me what to do from here

Thanks

Kind regards

Emjay

Marriages Sep 1891 (>99%)

Flowers Annie Fulham 1a 546
Gray Annie Rebecca Fulham 1a 535
Hatton Annie Louisa Fulham 1a 565
Mingay Annie Maria Fulham 1a 575
Stone Annie Fulham 1a 542

Out of the 19 Annies married in Fulham at that time, these are the most likely candidates. The page no is probably mistranscribed.

Possibility, 1891:

I couldn't find any of the other surnames born Stockton. The best way to know for sure is to buy one of the children's birth certs.

Emjay........ If the reason you want this information is so you can order the marriage cert., you can go ahead and order anyway, as only one name is required for ordering, the marriage cert. will give you all the info you require.

The 4 in 545 is a bit iffy when you look at the image.

She's still just Annie and born Stockton, Wiltshire in 1911.

Looking on earlier censuses, I don't see any matches.

Annie Flowers is quite clearly 546. She was the one I thought might be her as the numbers were so close.

When you enlarge Annie Gray's image, it also is clearly 535, but it could've easily been a slip of the finger on the typewriter by the registration office clerk.

Birth or marriage certificates are the way to go for you, I'm afraid.

Hi Emjay.
I am also trying to find an Ann, Anne, Annie Pelham from the Woking Surrey area who married my Grandfather Fred Mitchell in 1898?
have you found out anymore about her?
Could it possibly be that she is either the Child of your Annie Pelham.
Or could she have been married to your Charles Pelham and he died, so that she remarried my Fred Mitchell?
if you have any info that could help I would be grateful as I seem to be coming up blank in tracing leads?
Kind Regards Melita Beaney (nee Mitchell).

The marriage cert. will tell you if she had been married before. It will also give you her father.
