I'm trying to find a marriage between a Thomas Jakins born 1821 Bedfordshire and a Elizabeth (unknown maiden name) born abt 1822 Northampton their 1st known child was born in 1850. I am also trying to find the marriage between a Joseph Pearce born 1835 Gloucestershire and a Elizabeth (unknown maiden name) born 1836 in Marylebone. Their 1st child was born in 1858. If somebody can see something a can't, I would be most grateful. Thank you Vicky

Thank you, I did look at this but I'm not sure about it as their 1st child wasn't born until 1850. It is a possible though. Thanks again Vicky

Thanks for your help, I will send for the birth certs. Best wishes Vicky

Victoria if this is Joseph & Elizabeth Pearce on the 1861 census they also had a 10 year old daughter?? Name: Joseph Pearce Age: 26 Estimated birth year: abt 1835 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Elizabeth A Gender: Male Where born: Bidborough, Gloucestershire, England Civil parish: Southwark St George The Martyr County/Island: Surrey Country: England Street address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: View image Registration district: St George Southwark Sub-registration district: Borough Road ED, institution, or vessel: 1 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 177 Household Members: Name Age Alfred J Pearce 4 Mo Elizabeth A Pearce 25 Henrietta Pearce 10 Joseph Pearce 26 Georgina.

Hi Georgina this is them on the 1861 census. On the 1871 census it says Henrietta is 13, so either one of the census' is wrong, or the 1st child died and they named a second daughter after her? They seem too young to have a 10 yr old in 1861. Although then, anything was possible......... Thanks for your help Vicky

Victoria looking at the image of the 1861 census I think Henrietta's age is 2 or 4, it is hard to make out because the enumerator has put a cross over it. Georgina.

I cant be sure which marriage is Joseph & Elizabeth, I think you are going to have to do the same as above and order a birth certificate to be sure of Elizabeth's maiden name.... Births Dec 1860 (>99%) Pearce Alfred James St George Southwark 1d 149 Georgina.

This might be William....or another of their children. Births Jun 1848 JAKINS Thomas William M Harbro' 15 193 Gwyn
