Looking for information on the marriage of William Thomas Stratton born 1865 to Kate Russell born 1870 living in the Winchester area about 1893. Cant see anything on BMD. Any assistance appreciated.
-
What evidence do you have that they were married? Not all couples tied the knot.
-
Is this the correct family in 1901?
William Stratton 34
Kate Stratton 29
Leonard Russell 9
Coraish (Cornish) Stratton 7
Harold Stratton 4
-
There is a marriage on their profile on Ancestry...
Believe that is the correct family on that census
-
On a family tree do you mean? What year does it say and where?
-
On the profile for William on Ancestry there is a marriage to Kate Russell in 1893.
There are no details or marriage records in that website.
The family details are correct according to 1901 census.
-
1911 census says they’ve been married 18 years which might be where that year came from.
Looks like Leonard was illegitimate
RUSSELL, LEONARD -

I suspect that was an estimated year back to the date of their first child together. The 1911 census the same.

Do you have some docs related to their marriage?
-
They don't appear to have formally married.
Leonard Russell is received into the church 16 September 1894 son of Kate Russell
notation says baptised at the Union (work house)
Cornish William Stratton was bap. also on 16 September 1894
All the other children were baptised as of William and Kate Stratton so the vicar must have thought they were married.
He doesn't put of William Stratton and Kate Russell.

i have no docs confirming a marriage. Going by previous posts looks it was an assumption by Ancestry. Thaks.
