The image of Jane's marriage cert can be seen on Ancestry.
Her address at marriage was 25 Allanson Street.
Herbert's address was 73 Ramford Street.
The witnesses were Charles and Mary Ellen Hewitt.

There was a Roberts family at 27 Allanson Street - but probably just a coincidence - another very common name in the area. I don't see any obvious connection.

An up-date. Margaret is still proving to be elusive, until today. I have Margaret's birth certificate which states she was born on 24 September 1891. I searched the 1939 register for that birth but came up empty. I went through marriages in Prescot, on freeBMD, and concentrated only on Margaret with no middle name, then put those names into the 1939 register. Came up blank. Today, I found a tree on Ancestry that appears to be the correct family but the birth date is wrong. This tree has her born in 1888. It gives the correct parents, Thomas Roberts and Margaret Naylor. I know we can't believe everything we see in other trees but this one definitely piqued my interest. It gave Margaret married to William Chadwick in 1908. William had a daughter, Margaret Jane Chadwick. The interesting part is that a Margaret Jane Chadwick was married to Joseph Craven and they had a daughter, Joan Craven, who was a child bridesmaid at my Mom's wedding. Co-incidence?? - I'm not sure, that 1888 birth date worries me. I've written to the tree holder on Ancestry but haven't hear back yet.

There is no record of a Margaret Roberts/Naylor birth in 1888, so the person who compiled the tree has entered wrong information.
|
The woman who married Chadwick has birth year 1889 on 1921 census,but the marriage certificate would tell you who her father was
Ancestry trees are notoriously unreliable…..trust your own PROVEN research

In 1939 William Chadwick’s birth year has changed from that shown in 1921 from 1883 to 1885, has two daughters living with him, but no record of a wife
Original has his status as ‘M’, which has been crossed-through in red and ‘W’ superimposed

This is that family in 1921 and 1939.

Thank you. I've sent for the marriage certificate for Margaret and William so we can see who her father was. It looks like the family in 1921 and 1939 is correct, especially as the one in 1939 gives Joseph Craven and Margaret Jane Craven (nee Chadwick). I have the marriage certificate for Joseph and Margaret, father of Joseph is David Craven and Margaret's father is William Chadwick. Witnesses are James Craven, B. E. Craven, Minnie Chadwick and William Chadwick. The marriage was in 1932 with ages given as 21 for Joseph and 18 for Margaret.

I have today received the marriage certificate for Margaret and William (good old Canada Post)! They were married on 31 October 1908. William Chadwick, age 23, 10 Hanover Street, father William Chadwick (deceased), glassmaker. Margaret Roberts, age 20, 18 Hanover Street, father Thomas Roberts (deceased), brick setter. Looks like this is correct one.
