Lib Thanks for that site I'll check it out. Irene I have a very informative wedding cert from 1858. The bride and groom were both 'of full age' and their address was 'Rendcomb'! nell

I know the feeling I ordered the marriage certificate of my gt.gdm's sister, because I could not find my gt.gdm marriage certificate, to confirm family address only to find both the bride and groom lived 'Bethnal Green'.That was the full address of both of them. Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Irene

Husband's gt grandfather Charles McCarthy/Carter born and worked in London, but disappears after 1901 census. He ran a pub during WW1 in St Pancras. Husband says his grandfather William (Charles' son) remembers them living in Manchester. Found Charles' last child Mabel was born in Prestwich reg district so thought I would order her birth cert to get details of his occupation, as it might be a clue as to why he was up there. It says 'commercial traveller'!!!! By 1911 when this little girl died (heart disease) the family were at Pakenham Street, St Pancras. In 1901 Charles was a mineral water traveller. 1895 a confectioner 1894 a wharf labourer 1891 dealer at petroleum wharf If he was a commercial traveller, why would he move his family from London up to Lancashire - the address on the birth cert is 22 Droylsden Road, Newton? nell
