I am trying to find a marriage date for an Edward Gladstone Clarke (unusual middle name) who had a second child in 1902. I've searched 1899, 1898 and 1897 so far. Am I going about it the right way? I do know his wife was born in 1870 so is it just a matter of being systematic from about 1888 onwards. Help appreciated.

Have you tried FreeBMD? (http://www.freebmd.org.uk) If you put in Clarke, Edward G it will bring him up in 1890. Marriages Mar 1890 Bradford George Albert Holborn 1b 715 CLARKE Edward Gladstone Holborn 1b 715 MILLARD Laura Bertha Holborn 1b 715 Mumford Mary Jane Holborn 1b 715 His death is also listed on there, and possibly a son who died as a baby.

do you know his wifes name. Have you any certs for his children or found him on any census. What area are you looking for him in

well hes there on Freebmd!!!! Edward Gladstone Clarke Mar qtr 1890, Holborn 1b 715 married either. Laura Bertha Millard .or,Mary Jane Mumford

1901 is this the same person as it will narrow down the search years Name: Edward Gladstone Clark Age: 15 Estimated birth year: abt 1886 Relation: Son Father's name: Francis Frederick Mother's name: Martha Gender: Male Where born: Stamford, Lincolnshire, England Civil parish: Kimberley Ecclesiastical parish: Kimberley Holy Trinity County/Island: Nottinghamshire Country: England Registration district: Basford Sub-registration district: Greasley ED, institution, or vessel: 14 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 273 Household Members: Name Age Annie Clark 9 Edward Gladstone Clark 15 Francis Frederick Clark 49 Grace Clark 6 Horace Harcourt Clark 3 Martha Clark 46 Source Citation: Class: RG13; Piece: 3143; Folio: 211; Page: 47

I'm starting from the birth cert. of his second child (that's where I got the Gladstone from). His wife's name was Laura Bertha and she died in 1935 age 65 so I make the assumption she was born in 1870. I thought if I found the marriage cert. I would get his wife's maiden name, his date of birth and also his father's name. Nothing shows on the 1901 census - I tried that first.

seems they had a child in 1892 Edward Gladstone Clarke Dec qtr 1892 Holborn 1b 732

Well there she is she was Laura Bertha Millard. married 1890 -son Edward born 1892

It's absolutely amazing that you guys/gals have found him so quickly. I spent all last evening using my credits going round the houses. I didn't know there was a free bmd site. Thanks a lot. This is my husband's line and I am waiting for my father's birth certificate to go back on that line. I'll have to get your help again. Many thanks.

Any time you need a point in the right direction, just ask. There are plenty of people on here willing to help :)
