Hi Darryl, thankyou very much for the information.I am going to get intouch with records office as on my fathers birth certificate it has Elizabeth Ann Jones as fathers mothers maiden name. I dont know about  mistakes the office can make but will check it all out.

Hi i thought i would check the marriage of thomas langham and elizabeth on the www.1837online.com and i can confirm that the information i originally gave to you is correct, so maybe theres been a mix up???? on surname,also there is no other online record that I can find for a marriage around 1900 that brings thomas and elizabeth together as a marriage
         Kind Regards

Hi Darryl, I agree with you ,i cant find any information on grandmothers maiden name Jones either.I have searched every geneaology site for my g/parents to no avail as yet. :'( Ive sent email to records office in Leicester as yet no reply... I have found the same Langham as you have to but on dads birth certificate my g/father was an engineer. thank you for your help up to now darryl. regards chrissy  :)

Chrissy i would be very surprised if you get a reply from the records office(its a money thing)maybe we havent found the correct people,but everything seems to fit, i wouldnt worry too much on occupations as they change so often,i shall snoop through the resources aswell see if we can crack it
                 Kind Regards
