Trying to find mother and father of William Kettle born October 1871. His father was called Edward and his mother called Mary Ann Kettle nee Kettle this was the information on William's birth certificate. I cannot find their marriage certificate to find out their ages. William was born in Spittlegate, Grantham. I have no idea where to look next I keep coming up to a brick wall. William is my Grandfather

could only find this one

I have this marriage certificate, but as I am looking for a Mary Ann Kettle, I do not think this is the right one. Unless she was called Susan Mary Ann or Mary Ann Susan. Do you think this is one of the same person

Hello Lindsey,
I do not think this is the one I am looking for. William was born 9 October 1871. His father was called Edward and mother Mary Ann.
Thank you for looking though.
Jean

Are you 100% sure of your grandfather's birthdate and that he didn't have a middle name?

This looks like the birth of the William in the census above. Could this be yours, rather than the one born 1871?

Hello Sue,
Yes I have his birth and death certificate and the name is only William.
Jean

Lindsey I am confused, Could Edward and Mary Ann be brother and sister. Then they had a son and he was called William after Edward's father.
I do not understand the beginning about saving this record to Ancestry and shoebox.

Jean

The shoebox thing is from ancestry ,,, ignore it.
My thoughts are veering towards brother and sister ???
Unless she is a half sister, Shock horror, but not uncommon, maybe a copy of that marriage cert might help. I must admit its a difficult family to follow through the censuses, so you are right to suspect something is amiss.

I agree with Lindsey......unable to tie anything concrete up on census's.

Something a bit fishy I think...

And I'm really struggling to find mary ogden from Leicester ???

The irst family I found live next door but one from Edward ?

there is this marriage but one of the men is missing
could it be Edward Kettle

Just a thought
Could Maryann be Edwards Cousin and got pregnant at 14 years old ,and thats why she is in the same household


how about looking at the 1861 census to see if she is there.

she would be about 4 then

I wonder if this is your william staying with his Grand parents .the age is right

Lindsey, The census information could be what I am looking for. I have a marriage certificate for Edward Kettle and Susan Kettle. The father of Edward is William Kettle.

Thank you

Jean

Nerine, This seems most likely.
Thank you for all the information. I seem to be more and more confused. It is not easy to piece things to-gether if it is not straight forward.

Jean

Nerine, I will order this birth certificate to see if it throws any light on the subject.
