Wow Ozibird you really have done some research & this has helped me enormously, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the time you must have spent on this. If it wasn't for the tips boards I would be at a complete standstill on my tree now, everyones so willing to help. Researching your ancestors is so addictive but at the same time frustrating, but thanks to everyone on here, special thanks to those that went out of their way, I & others that have had tips & look ups done can now move a bit further on. You're all brilliant Thanks again |

There is a marriage in Gloster (thats how it's spelt) Jun qtr 1850, Mary Ann Beddall. She may have been born in Dover but she could have been in service in Gloucester, which will be how she came to meet Thomas. I haven't checked in on Ancestry though |

There is this Kent Local BMD site: http://extranet3.kent.gov.uk/sp/rois/home.html It's on the list on www.ukbmd.org.uk But I couldn't find your marriage for you without doing a lot of trawling - and it may not be there yet. Medway CityArk http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/ may be useful (see the ImageBase link in the left hand menu) but you have to be determined and systematic to find what you want there! Christine |

Thanks Portland Rose ... she was in my list, I had a choice of 3 but the others had a slightly later birth date so I wasn't sure which one to go with. Thanks again to everyone for all your tips & help, afterall some of us would be at a complete standstill without you. Cheers all xxx |

Perhaps they didn't marry in Dover: Marriages Jun 1858 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boswell William Medway 2a 443 Newman Thomas Medway 2a 443 Row Frances Medway 2a 443 Ruck Elizabeth Ann Medway 2a 443 Shel[hp]ard Mary Ann Medway 2a 443 Anyway, ordering a birth cert will solve this one.

Yes Suzy thats the one I have them on 1881 census with 6 kids & a grandson but nothing before that. Tried a search for Thomas b 1867 but still can't find his mother's maiden name nor that of his Paternal Grandmother. Thanks for all help Suzy & everyone, gonna keep looking as I don't want this to beat me |

This looks like their daughter's birth record: Births Dec 1860 NEWMAN Sarah Ann Dover 2a 644 The birth certificate will give the Mother's maiden name. Suzy |

Lorraine I think this is the family in 1861, so hopefully 'married' before that. Mary A Newman abt 1840 Dover, Kent, England Wife Dover St James the Apostle Kent Sarah A Newman abt 1860 Dover, Kent, England Daughter Dover St James the Apostle Kent Thomas Newman abt 1835 Worcestershire, England Head Dover St James the Apostle Kent Suzy |

Thomas b 1832 is the child of Samuel & Ann. Been having trouble with web pages so maybe its my connection at the mo but I can't seem to find the wifes surnames of either Thomas or Samuel |

Have you found any of the childrens birth certs cos this will give you mums maiden name. the one that married 1839 should show on the census's Shirley |

Hi I've trawled through as many records as I can looking for Mary Ann b 1839 in Dover Kent married to Thomas Newman b 1832 in Red Marley Gloucester. Also Ann b 1876 Bromsberrow Gloucester married to Samuel Newman b 1785 in Quinel Worcester. I can't find anything for either wife. Could this be yet another member of my family that was known by a middle name but called something else. Arrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhh its really frustrating at times, I can see me going grey very soon at this rate |
