Find Ancestors

Hi Derek

Just caught up with this and im so please all has worked out good......I went that way cos my Gt G/Dad was known as William all his like but was registered at birth as Samuel William.

TC Julie

yeah i know and he met his wife in the same street: she lived at number 24! ..i gues being a widow with lots of kids to fork out for he might not have been able to afford it

the other day i went to London to see if the houses my grand parents born in where there.....out of 5 only 1 was still there. The rest where big office blocks or factories.

Hi Derek,

I was just about the post the 1911 family but you found them first.

To be honest, I'm amazed they were still at that address when he married. People seemed to changed houses all the time years ago.

Rose

Well done Julie

u r right

the 1911 census address matches the address on the marriage cert....my friend will be chuffed

Helen: My nan was the same she lied too: she said she was 18 when she got married and she was actually 16: but she was an unsavoury woman at that time the minx had an affair.


Rose: sorry i dont know when he died. I am researchin this for a friend so im asking her the questiions. The witnesses were the parents of the bride: Charles Nokes and Helen Nokes.


Julie: they where both dock Labourers: and iyou are right he could have used his second name. I had the same problem in my nan, she used her middle name and so did her sisters.

Thanks for all your help we do appreciate it...its never simple is it :OS

Derek,

Did you see my earlier questions? I can't help you unless you answer them.

Rose

There's this possible..& Ernest was his 1st name

Births Mar 1902 (>99%)
Geary Ernest George W. Ham 4a 83

From his M/C what was his dads occupation that will help to try & find him on the 1901

bear in mind that ages on certs are not always correct and bear in mind that the certificate is the info from the church/vicar then written onto a certificate by a registrar

sometimes people lied and sometimes when the information was written onto the certificate by the registrar they made a mistake, I have a marriage cert for my g-grandfather with his age given as 23, this does not match any census info I have, I asked the local library to look at the original on the parish register and lo and behold he was 33

Helen

it isnt totally different i got the age wrong

i didnt have the certificate yesterday and .today I do and noticed my error. The cert says he ws 29 when he got married in 1929 making his birth date 1900 or 1899

I think you need to read your 1st post cos what you are now saying is totally different

Hey all

I am trying to find the birth record for a

George Earnest Geary: He married Isabeall Nokes in 1929 aged 19
_________________

If im correct 29 - 19 = 10

So making his birth about 1910

I have the marriage cert

he was 29 not 19 so makin his birthdate 1899 or 1900!!! i have found a couple of Georg Geary senior n junior on the 1911 n 1901 census..but need to be clearer

death cert needs to be purchased me thinks

When did he die? Might get some more clues from that.

Rose

What about the witnesses to the marriage?

Rose

Cos the George birth you saw has An E for his middle name does necessarily mean its him

This might be him

Births Jun 1909 (>99%)
Geary George Berkhampstead 3a 926
_____________________

The one born in 1911 wouldn't be on the 1911 census
Also the MMN is Parson

heres the marriage for them

Marriages Sep 1905 (>99%)
GEARY Francis Joseph Birmingham 6d 264
PARSONS Elizabeth Lily Birmingham 6d 264

He was George Geary too

If you have the marriage cert, what was his fathers names ?
