Find Ancestors

hi to anyone who think's they might be able to help...i am trying to find a marraige between Edmund Evans and Louisa Gardner, about 1864 to 1866..i thought it might be in Bath but i cannot find it......she was born in Bath him in Bridgewater,,,any help woukd be most gratefully recieved..stay cool........Sandra

Before we do anything, please say exactly which quarters you have viewed........... Reg

what are you basing the marriage date on ? the birth of Edwin in 1866? ( assume this is them in 1871 Albert Evans abt 1870 Bath, Somerset, England Son Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset Edmond Evans abt 1831 Bridgewater, Somerset, England Head Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset Edwin Evans abt 1866 Bath, Somerset, England Son Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset Louisa Evans abt 1869 Bath, Somerset, England Daughter Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset Robert Evans abt 1867 Bath, Somerset, England Son Lyncombe and Widcombe

where has her maiden name come from please. close.... Edward Evans 1862 Apr-May-Jun Bath Avon, Somerset Louisa Grey 1862 Apr-May-Jun Bath Avon, Somerset

In 1871, Edmond is a widower.............occ: Plasterer. This chap in 1861 is a Plasterer............. Charles Cottle abt 1852 London, England Visitor Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset View Record Edward Evans abt 1831 Bath, Somerset, England Head Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset View Record Elizabeth Evans abt 1860 Bath, Somerset, England Daughter Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset View Record Fanny Evans abt 1859 Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales Daughter Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset View Record George Evans abt 1857 Cardiff, Glamorgan, Wales Son Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset View Record Jane Evans abt 1836 Bath, Somerset, England Wife Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset View Record Jane Evans abt 1855 Bath, Somerset, England Daughter Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset View Record Henry Staylor abt 1839 Hambridge, Worcestershire, England Lodger Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset View Record John Staylor abt 1841 Bath, Somerset, England Lodger Lyncombe and Widcombe Somerset So did he marry twice? Or are these just coincidences? Reg

her maiden name comes from checking robert's birth and then the other children,so i am pretty sure it is gardner,and his name is edmund,and not edward have checked 1837 but cannot match them up..thank you all

As she is not on 1871 census, where did you get the info about Louisa's birthplace? Reg

I've looked on 1861....these are the only Louisa Gardners with a Somerset connection. Is one of these the correct person? Reg

Sandra Have you discounted this marriage?: Marriages Sep 1864 Carey Louisa Bath 5c 1052 Evans Edmond Bath 5c 1052 She may have been married before. Suzy

Can't seem to find a death for Louisa in Bath between 1870 and 1871. Rose

Edmund/Edward and Edwin get mixed up all the time on documentation - that alone wouldnt bother me too much. Louisa is evident on 1881 census Ada Evans abt 1876 Bath, Somerset, England Daughter Walcot Somerset Albert Evans abt 1870 Bath, Somerset, England Son Walcot Somerset Annie Evans abt 1869 Bath, Somerset, England Daughter Walcot Somerset Edmund Evans abt 1831 Bridgewater, Somerset, England Head Walcot Somerset Edmund J. Evans abt 1866 Bath, Somerset, England Son Walcot Somerset George Evans abt 1877 Bath, Somerset, England Son Walcot Somerset Louisa Evans abt 1844 Bath, Somerset, England Wife Walcot Somerset Robert W. Evans abt 1868 Bath, Somerset, England Son Walcot Somerset Walter Evans abt 1873 Bath, Somerset, England Son Walcot Somerset

So the marriage to Louisa was after 1871 census...........and before 1881. Edmond is clearly shown as a widower in 1871........as I stated earlier. Reg

Hi all,yes Jess that is them in 1871,i was basing the marraige on Edwin's birth,on the Bath BMD site i can find all the children with mother's maiden name being Gardner,,,,,Reggie i do not think that is them in 1861,if i have the right family all children were born in Bath i just do not know now how to proceed,,and i am completly baffled,,,lol thanks to you all if you have any other thought's i would be so grateful...maybe i am totally wrong,i might just be having to many senior moment's..lol take care ans stay cool....Sandra

Okay, I think this might explain it - from Bath BMD: Bath Marriage indexes for the years: 1863 Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference GARDNER Louisa CAREY Banfield Bath, St Thomas a Beckett, Widcombe Bath C25/3/146 Bath Marriage indexes for the years: 1864 Surname Forename(s) Surname Forename(s) Church / Register Office Registers At Reference CAREY Louisa EVANS Edmond Bath, St Thomas a Beckett, Widcombe Bath C25/3/203 Now we just need a death for Banfield Carey... Kate.

I wonder if this is him on FreeBMD (no deaths on Bath BMD yet): Deaths Dec 1863 Carey Banfield Bath 5c 506 Kate.

wow what a star you are that seems to explain it, she must have gone back to her maiden name when the children were registered,,thank you so very much,,,stay cool,,,Sandra

Picked up the message............cheers Reg

Sandra - on the children's birth certificates it probably says mother's name 'Louisa Evans, late Carey, formerly Gardner' but Bath BMD only put one surname in the 'mother's maiden name' on their index. And Gardner was her maiden name. Kate.

thanks Kate,i plan to go to the guildhall very soon to order some cert's so i will know then..thanks for all your help...Sandra

Banfield in 1861 (17 and unmarried though) wonder who the late 1850's children were born of? Banfield Cary abt 1844 Farmborough, Somerset, England Brother-in-law Timsbury Somerset Dorcas Sims abt 1831 Farmborough, Somerset, England Wife Timsbury Somerset Hezekiah Sims abt 1827 Clutton, Somerset, England Head Timsbury Somerset Hezikiah A Sims abt 1861 Timsbury, Somerset, England Son Timsbury Somerset John Sims abt 1859 Timsbury, Somerset, England Son Timsbury Somerset
