Hi, I am trying to find the marriage of my great grandparents, Charles William Bloy and Alice Ross, c. 1920 in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. Charles was born in 1897 and Alice was born in 1900. Hope someone can help! Thanks in advance Jayne

is this charles with his family in 1901 Annie Bloy abt 1891 Parkgate, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rawmarsh Yorkshire Charles W Bloy abt 1898 Parkgate, Yorkshire, England Son Rawmarsh Yorkshire Evelyn Bloy abt 1898 Parkgate, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rawmarsh Yorkshire Florence Bloy abt 1877 Parkgate, Yorkshire, England Wife Rawmarsh Yorkshire James Bloy abt 1839 Weasenham, Norfolk, England Father Rawmarsh Yorkshire Walter Bloy abt 1873 Weasenham, Norfolk, England Head Rawmarsh Yorkshire Parkgate is at Rotherham Roy

Marriage Registration details: Name: Bloy, Charles W Year: 1920 District: Rotherham Quarter: April - June Volume: ?9c Page: 193? Bride's name: Ross I have put the ? as the Volume and Page Number are hard to read even under 200x magnification. Wonder if 1837online would have a clearer image. Joy

Hi Roy, yes that's him. Alice is with her parents (father Enoch Ross) on the 1901. Thanks Joy, I think I'll have to take the risk and order it. This will be the first certificate I've ordered on dad's side so fingers crossed! Thank you both very much Jayne x

her she is, at 30 chapel street Horace Carr abt 1884 Parkgate, Yorkshire, England Boarder Rotherham Yorkshire John Darby abt 1881 Parkgate, Yorkshire, England Boarder Rotherham Yorkshire Jane Hopkinson abt 1837 Ecclesfield, Yorkshire, England Visitor Rotherham Yorkshire Alice Ross abt 1900 Rotherham, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rotherham Yorkshire Elizabeth Ross abt 1898 Rotherham, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rotherham Yorkshire Enoch Ross abt 1855 Kimberworth, Yorkshire, England Head Rotherham Yorkshire Enoch Ross abt 1897 Rotherham, Yorkshire, England Grandson Rotherham Yorkshire Eva Ross abt 1885 Rotherham, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rotherham Yorkshire Gerti Ross abt 1856 Kimberworth, Yorkshire, England Wife Rotherham Yorkshire Gurty E Ross abt 1899 Rotherham, Yorkshire, England Daughter Rotherham Yorkshire Roy

That's her Roy. I've looked on Ancestry and 1837 online and can't find the marriage listed. Is it because I'm not a paying member that I can't view that far forward? They only go to 1910 or so. Jayne x

1837 was clearer. Volume: 9c Page: 1924 Joy

Thank you so much Joy this will mean a lot to my dad. Jayne x

Ancestry is free at the moment 1837online you have to pay to view the images otherwise all you get is the listings of where what you're looking for might be. Joy

Thanks Joy it must just be me then I can never find things on Ancestry - I must be going blind! Thank you again Jayne x

Jayne, On Ancestry click on England & Wales, FreeBMD Index: 1837-1983, then to the right of the search box there is another box with Search the complete England & Wales, BMD Index: 1837-1983 now! click on that link, then follow your nose. Roy

Just tried it Roy and found it that time. It's so easy when you know how! Thanks again Jayne x

Hi Jayne

I am glad you found your grand-mothers details. This is an old thread, but perhaps you can help me.

I am very interested in the boarder that was staying with the Ross family, a John Darby. Do you happen to know anything about him?

I have a grandfather John Edward Darby who is proving to be elusive. I have no idea where he was born or who his siblings were. Any information from you would be wonderful.

As far as I am aware, John Darby left for South Africa and married a Lilian Florence Bristow in the early 1900s and then had 5 children (4 sons and a daughter).

Kind regards

Richard Darby

Richard, As you have noticed this is an old thread from looking it appears Jayne may not still be active?

You would be better to send her a message using the send message in purple next to her name, That way if she still has the same email address that she registered with she will be notified that she has a message from you
