Childrens names are different to those in 1891 so wonder which names are correct

Good spot for 1911

MAJOR, Arthur H Head Single M 25 1886 Baker Confectioner And Tobacconist Folkestone Kent VIEW
MAJOR, E S J Mother Married F 48 1863 Boot Machinist Folkestone Kent VIEW

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Married 27 years 4 children all living

So was Rose/Rosina a Swallow and they used that name in 1901 but never married

Might explain the birth registration in 1911


Not sure we will ever know

Maybe why they did not marry

Major Emily S J 80 Wallingford 2c 318

so that marriage in 1884 looks good Emily/Ellen the other 2 initals the same

:-D :-D

Just noticed I was having the same problem...I would think so

Think I must be going mad

Can not find William as Swallow on 1911 nor as Major on 1901 - could they be the same person

BUT not found him at all on 1891

wonder if William was already married?

I am not convinced that the 1911 place of birth for Rosina is Inverness

Willm Swallow 3/12

i think that it say boat but it is not the best handwriting in places so it could be boot repairer
Scotland could be right as i have a pic of an unknown lady with bag pipes that no one in my family knows who it is so that could be very likely

Mother born Scotland so maybe that's where they married.

So the 1911 posted by Jax could be a possible


Oops

Boat or boot repairer

it has Williams job as a boat repairer and i don't think that the witnesses are related but they could be they both have the surname James and thank you very much for your help

Not sure how long they have been married but its not 26 years and Rosinas place of birth looks strange could be Inverness perhaps
