my grandfather david arthur andrews married my grandmother edith mary payne on13th june1901 address 13 link street homerton hackney.i cannot find any info at all on james payne (deceased) father with a daughter edith but i have got henry george payne with a daughter edith who was deceased at the time of the marrage i'm still a learner here and totally confused can anyone please please help from sheila

Do you have the certificate?

Sometimes the names of the witnesses can help - they may be family members. It wasn't unusual for my James William Jarrett to be down on the marriage certificates for his children as William James Jarrett - fortunately the witness names helped me to identify the correct marriage even with the wrong father's name!

Does it give an occupation for James Payne? Even though James William Jarrett was often transposed his occupation of engineers labourer also helped identify the correct marriage and helped me find him on the census.

Name: Edith Mary Payne
Record Type: Baptism
Date: 12 Jun 1883
Father's Name: Henry George Payne
Mother's Name: Alice Payne
Parish: St Thomas, Clapton Common

Address given as Upper Clapton (which matches the 1901 found by Maureen)

Henry's occupation - carman

fogot to add that james payne's profession was livery coachman and sorry i must be a bit thick i'm not sure who is edith's true father x

Naughty, naughty - Alice Wilson/Payne/Welfare appears on the 1901 census twice!

According to the baptism - it would appear her father is Henry George Payne.

His occupation on the marriage certificate is livery coachman and on the baptism is carman - very similar occupations I would think.

It looks to me as though Alice and Mr Welfare may have split up and she's co-habiting with James Austin who is a coachman.

I've seen other marriages where the stepfather's and birth father's details get a little scrambled together.
Who were the witnesses to the marriage??
I'd say Henry George Payne was her father.


(Just my theory!!!)
