so this is the marriage registration??

Harriet Ann Cheal Jul-Aug-Sep 1891 West Ham Essex
George Randolph Davis Jul-Aug-Sep 1891 West Ham Essex

do you have this certificate?


What is the name of the father? what is father's occupation? George's occupation?



Have you lookeed for Randolph Davis?

Have you looked using the spelling davi*s, where * is a wild card, that could find a mis-spelling of Davies?

Hi
Does anyone have access to Ancestry's worldwide records please?
I'm trying to look into a family who appear on the United States 1880 Census.

George R Davis b1862 in Illinois. Father Robert W Davis, mother Eliza.

There are 4 children in total on this family.

Can anyone have a look please as I am hoping that George is the same George who came to England in 1891 and married a Harriet Cheal in West Ham in July 1891. George wasn't on the UK 1891 census and the US 1890 no longer exists. He doesn't appear on the 1900 or 1901 either.

Thanks in advance

Viv
