Title: Marriage ARNOLD - LEWIS
Post by: marnold on Sunday 17 September 06 07:50 BST (UK)
I am desperate to find a marriage between JOHN ARNOLD  &  ELIZABETH LEWIS.  Probably around 1885 and 1890. They are married and have a child in 1891 census, when they are in Dudley. John was from Cardiff and Elizabeth was from Swansea (I think Oystermouth).
John was in Newport Monmouth, still with parents, in the 1881 census.
I don't know where Elizabeth was.
Marriage could be in Swansea, Cardiff or even Dudley I guess!
Many thanks.

I have looked for a marriage of John Arnold to Elizabeth Lewis from 1885 to 1890 and I couldn't find one.

Do you have the child's birth certificate?

Could you let us have the 1891 census details please, they might help trace your family.

Hello again,
In 1891 they were:
Flood Street, Dudley.
John J(?) Arnold M 24 Dealer in toys. Self employed. b Cardiff
Elizabeth (wife)  21                                                b Swansea
Lillian daughter  2                                                  b  Dudley
Beatrice   daughter  10? months                           b  Dudley

In 1901 Elizabeth and children (more by then) were in Blackburn. Although I know John was alive he is nowhere in the 1901 census!
You see where my brick wall is.
