We recently had a surprise to find that my husband's grandad had been married twice and an even greater surprise to find that there were 2 children from this first marriage born 1896 and 1899. They are registered in 1901 with his sister in law in Egremont, Cumbria. How can I try and trace them in this century? |

If this is all the information you have to go then you may have to do some waiting. I have a similar situation where my great great grandmother remarried and had 4 more children sometime after 1902. This is the kind of situation where it would be great to have the 1911 census!! The only other suggestion would be to "hazzard a guess" that they got married 1915-1925 (judging by the ages) and that they stayed in the same area. But even that would mean trawling through loads more records. Maybe someone else has some bright ideas? :-/? |

If they have fairly uncommon names, how about trying to trace marriages on 1837 online site? Could cost a few quid though! If not, maybe electoral registers for the area? |

Hi Pam If you know the area you could try the local churches, most of them still have their parish records from 1900 onwards. Regards Maxine |
