Hi
I was wondering if someone would be able to look to see if there was a marriage between Lindsey Beckford Molland and Lillie King . If there was one i think it would be between 1911 and 1916 ( my grandfather was born in may of 1916 and on his birth certificate it states they were married).
If any more info is need please ask .
Many thanks
Lisa :)

Hi and welcome to Rootschat
Lillie was b 1887 St Helier
There is a birth on freebmd for a Lynsey Rockford Molland in 1886 Southampton but the 1891 shows him as Lindsay B - Father George L and mother Fanny A
There are no online resources for marriages in the CI for that period
-
If you don't have 1891/1901 details for Lillie and Lindsay - let me know and I will post them

Hi Carole
Thank you for the welcome and the look up .
I have info on Lillie for 1901& 1911 but not Lindsey (after 1891 I can't find him)
I have a bit of info on both of them
I can't find a marriage in the England for them and seeing as Lillie was from Jersey I thought it was worth a shot. It says on my grandfather's birth certificate (their son) that she was Lillie Molland was King ( of course they could be lying bout being married)
Thank you :-)

What was Lindsays occupation on your grandfathers birth cert?
-
It is a beer retailer . I found a directory on Ancestry which said the same .

I thought he may have been a mariner so that blows my theory that he may have been at sea
Lindsay died in 1927 and Lilly in 1977 - both in Hampshire
-
Lindsay died 5.6.1927 at Park Prewett House Basingstoke. Administration was granted on 23rd June to Lillie Molland - widow. Effects £331
I don't know whether there was a requirement to prove a marriage before granting administration back in 1927. If there was - then there was a marriage - somewhere!!

Its strange my aunt said that she thinks she remembers people saying he was ship wrecked :-\ . I know very little about them both as my granddad (their son) and my nan divorced hen my mum was young after that my mum had very little to do with him and that side of the family . On Lindsey's death certificate it said he died at Park Prewitt House, Basingstoke and died of paralysis of the insane ( I was shocked hen I googled it to find out what it was ) I don't know if that is just a story to cover that up.
Just read your other post , I will google that and see what comes up in regards to the administration.
I'm determined to find more out, for some reason Lindsey really interreges me .

I notice there is a 7yr gap between your fathers birth and his sister in 1923. Unless Lillie lost other children in between - it may be an indication that Lindsay wasn't always at home.
I think his brother (Frederick) George emigrated to America in 1906 as George Molland. In 1901 his occupation was joiner and that tallies with the passenger list for 1906 and his birthyear 1884
Mother Fanny Amelia died 4.2.1939 - she was a widow. Probate granted to daughter Jessie Amelia Barton wife of John Barton. Effects £329 17s 3d
Father George Lowton Molland died 27.8.1935. Probate to widow Fanny Amelia and daughter Jessie Amelia Barton. Effects £405 15s 6d

I did see a passenger list that had a L Molland going to Southampton from America . I don't know if it is defiantly him .
I thought that it was quite a gap too. Does it mean anything normally as to who registers the birth of the child , is it normally the mother or father or doesn't it matter. I don't know if I'm just clutching at straws.
-
All the birth certs I've seen have shown the mother registering the birth. I'm not entirely sure whether the father had to be present in the case of a married couple but I know that in the case of an illegitimate child, the father had to sign the register if his name was to appear on the birth cert.
It may be that as long as the mother was able to show a marriage cert - the father was taken as stated
-
I did see a passenger list that had a L Molland going to Southampton from America .
That L Molland was b 1889 and was a steward
-
Thanks for getting back to me on that , just me clutching at straws . Its such a shame no one in the family knows any more .
As to the passenger list , one thing I just thought of is how did he get to America? More confusion !
Before I forget , just wanted to say thank you for your help. I wish I had signed up for rootschat when I started researching.

I can have a root through the Jersey marriage indexes for the marriage but it won't be until January as the Archive is closed until then.

Hi. it would be amazing if you could. I thought they might be closed over the Christmas period . Thank you
