I am trying to find out information regarding Elizabeth Alice Dukes who was born in Charlton Musgrove, Somerset. She married Frank Thompson who came from Motcombe. I am trying to find out why and how they came to end up living in Weymouth, Dorset.
I have found that Elizabeth's parents were Charles (1841) and Mary Ann (1843) I have no surname for her mother.
Any help would be great.

Elizabeth Alice's brothers Sidney, Henry and Charles Dukes are all in Dorset in 1891.

In Dec 1880 dad Charles H Dukes remarried Eliza Cox in Wincanton.
By 1881 Elizabeth Alice is not with the rest of the family- unless she's down as just Alice?
Can't find dad Charles or Eliza in 1891 >:(

Possible death for dad? :-\

Elizabeth Alice Dukes married Frank Thompson in Weymouth in Dec 1894.
So she can't be too far away in 1891.
No luck so far though :(

I looked too earlier but can't see her - wonder if she was in service there and they married - simple as that.
The marriage certificate may give some clues- addresses etc

Eliza THICK/COX/DUKES was my 2 x great grandmother. Her daughter Mary Grace Cox being my great grandmother. Eliza died in South Wales in 1918 but as yet I don't know the death date of her husband, Charles H DUKES. I will dig out my files and see if I have any more info on the whereabouts of Eliza and Charles for 1891 for you.

Eliza was listed as JUKES in 1891 although the online transcription that I've seen has misread this as Jakes! Doesn't help family tree researching does it!!!!!
Anyhow, in 1891 she was a widow and lived with her daughter and son-in-law (my great grandparents) Joseph & Mary Grace COOMBS and their children in Bratton Seymour, Somerset. She was still living with them in 1901 but by then they'd moved to South Wales - they were living in Gilfach Goch, Glamorgan (where my Dad was born - he was the middle of 3 sons of Joseph & Mary's daughter Gertrude).
Eliza DUKES died in Gilfach Goch on 25 Dec 1918.
