ah well the birth cert of phillips sister does def say elizabeth and moses as parents,
But maybe she was also known as rachel for some reason?!??!
I don't actually know why, but then that would make sense wouldn't it

Although they are two different dates there, so maybe moses married sisters?!?!? Haha okay i am joking now, i never realised how confusing this geneology stuff was, i think i am going to hold fire on this side of the family and just wait until i get the birth cert of sarah susan myers back, as all of this is getting too confusing now!

Are you sure that Moses married Elizabeth Stroud?

Strange....there are these two marriages.

Sep 1855 (>99%)


Guthberlet Karl Whitechapel 1c 793
Meister Catharina Whitechapel 1c 793
>>>Myers Moses Whitechapel 1c 793
>>>Stroud Elizabeth Whitechapel 1c 793




Jun 1858 (>99%)


Abrahams Anna London City 1c 262
Hart Judah London City 1c 262
>>>Myers Moses London City 1c 262
>>>Stroud Rachel London City 1c 262

The 1858 marriage ties in with the 1871 I posted on which the children's names seem to tie up with the information you have given

i have a marriage cert,. but it is the wrong one, it is not his, it states that he married a ROSE but the phillip that i am after did not marry a rose, or if he did it was after he married sarah's mother who was not called rose

Hester

You said in your first post that you had Phillips's marriage cert then later you say that you don't know his wife's name! I'm confused!

Please can you let us have all the details from the marriage cert and any census that you have found the family on.

Hester

Hester Report 11 Jun 2008 16:00

i know this was the census that i found....i was all excited as i thought that this must be them... but when i ordered sarah's birth cert. i was told that her mum was not called susan!!
so this has confused me even more
i am going to try to order her birth cert again...and start at the beginning. i think this is best

Hester Report 11 Jun 2008 15:58

Glitter baby; i don't know the name of his wife... this is also something that i am trying to find out... i am struggling to find his birth let alone who he married,
all i know are the names of his children!!!!
His eldest was called Sarah Susan Myers 1886-1973
and when she was little she lived at number 13 Ely Terrace...is there a way of searching by address??

GlitterBaby Report 11 Jun 2008 15:55

Well I am puzzled then.

The 1901 census with Philip and Susan has all the right names for the children plus Philip is a cab driver

Phillip myers - cab driver
children; julia, sarah, moses betsey, hyman, rebecca, maria, joseph

I hope this information helps

Hester Report 11 Jun 2008 15:42

Potty; no i do not have phillips birth cert either.
I have had difficulty finding it to be honest

the occupations on phillip's marriage cert and sarah's birth cert. are totally different,

If some one can help me find Phillips birth then i can order a certificate and go from there.
He was born around 1862 i think

Hester

Hester Report 11 Jun 2008 15:39

Glitter baby; thanks,
i have seen that census entry before,
That's not the one i was looking for,
I do not know the name of phillips wife, but i know it is not susan, i tried to order a birth cert of his daughter and it got rejected...i had put in her mother's name as being susan and GRO did a check and it came back that it was not her mothers name.

A few questions to help searchers:
Where was Sarah born?
Do you have Philip's birth cert? If not, how do you know that he and Sarah were siblings?
What was Moses's occupation on Sarah's birth cert? Is it the same as Solomon's on Philip's marriage cert?

I am trying to find any informatio on Moses Myers who married Elizabeth Stroud i have no idea when they were born,but i am guessing about the 1830's, their first child sarah was born on 12th jan 1856, she had a brother called phillip who was born around 1862. other siblings were as follows; elizabeth, betsey, joseph, rebecca.
I can't seem to find any census records of elizabeth and moses with their children together...
i have a marriage cert. of phillip which says that his fathers name was solomon,
and sarah's birth cert says her parents were moses and elizabeth, so i am wondering if i have the wrong marriage for phillip (i think i have as no one seems to recognise his wives name) or they have different fathers,
if anyone can find any details of them this would be most appreciated,
i am also trying to find the marriage of elizabeth and phillip as i can't seem to trace it
Thanks
