Unlikely that Sally will be checking back on it

There is an Arthur Tredgett listed on the Epping War Memorial as 33381 Private 13th Battalion East Lancashire Regiment. Killed in action on the Western Front 22nd August 1918. Commemorated at Ploegsteert Military Cemetery, Belgium.

don't know about overseas deaths, but only one possible death 1908-20 in the ordinary GRO index Tredgett Arthur J , age 33, Rochford 4a 1168, Oct-Dec 1918 ps -- that's a mistranscription by FamilyRelatives, looking at the image it's actually Romford

i too have thought this one to be the one as you say he's lost a few years to get married thanks for you help Sally

I should think this is the one you have the birth cert for, but odd that he should knock some years off his age when he married...... John King abt 1861 Writtle, Essex, England Head Ilford Essex Arthur Tredgett abt 1884 Barking Side, Essex, England Son Ilford Essex Colinson Tredgett abt 1889 Barking Side, Essex, England Son Ilford Essex Elizabeth Tredgett abt 1858 Barking Side, Essex, England Housekeeper Ilford Essex Harry Tredgett abt 1891 Barking Side, Essex, England Son Ilford Essex Maud Tredgett abt 1893 Barking Side, Essex, England Daughter Ilford Essex Everyone in the house is single!! Merry

Dear All thank you for your help John Arthur or Arthur John married Elizabeth Ann Parket in December 1908 in the Paris Church Little Ilford in Essex aged 21 his father on the marrieage Cert is listed as John tredgett he lived at 16 Grantham Rod and the bride at 25 Grantham Road on the Birth Certificate I believe could be him (Arthur John)listed father unknown Elizabeth went on to marry George Phiilps in 1923 unsure in John died in the war or after the war - have found no entry for a death - but have been led to believe that he died in the war cheers Sally

You haven't actually said how old he said he was on his marriage cert!! And what did he give for his father's name and occupation? No one wanted to see my birth cert when I married.......must have looked over 18 :o(( Merry

Sally I have a few ancestors who change theyre name so I would of thought John Arthur and Arthur John could well be the same person What are the fathers name What are the ages of John/ Arthur and his bride from the M/C and her name Im pretty sure you didnt need to show a copy of a B/C when getting married. Sue

dont think you have to show your birth cert to get married today!! where do you think he was born? have you tracked him in census?

Can I just re-arrange makes it easier to read Dear All I am having trouble in getting to grips with my ggrandfather known to me as John Arthur Tredgett married in December 1908 (listed on Ancestry - but ggrandmother not) but have a copy marriage certificate. would he have not been required to show a birth certificate when he got married or did this practice come in at a much later date. but I can find no reference to his birth (although a possible is listed as Arthur John Tredgett 1884) maybe he was known as John to his friends I also have his son's birth certificate which lists father as John Arthur I also have no reference to his death although believed to have died in WW1 - have checked many war sites under both john and Arthur to no avail please all help and suggestions greatly received Sally
