Warwickshire Lookup Requests / Re: Phoebe Lavinia Guest Birmingham
« on: Monday 27 February 12 21:11 GMT (UK)  »
Hi charly,

Yes it has all come back to me, we have had quite a chat on Ancestry before!

I am pretty sure that I have been in touch with the guy who posted the photos and he did not come up with anything but I do not seem to have the messages anymore.

I came to the conclusion a while ago that Charles Thomas married his cousin but didn't want to say it out loud in case it offended some relative! I was not aware that it was something not unusual in those days. Interestingly I have a copy of his mothers will and he came very poorly off compared to the others and I did wonder if he had gotten himself out of favour!

Thanks again and if you want a copy of the marriage certificate with your Great Grandparents as witnessess just message me your e-mail address to Ancestry and I will send as an attachment.

Debbie

Hi Charly,

Thanks so much for your message, I think I have come across your tree before with a photo of Minnie.

What I am trying to find out is if the Charles Thomas Guest in your family is the same Charles Thomas Guest as my Great Uncle. I am pretty sure the marriage certificate I have is for your Great Grand Uncle in view of the Nickless witnesses. I can e-mail you a copy of the certificate it it helps with your research.

Would anyone in your family know anything about Charles Thomas that would help? Mine was born in Highgate, Birmingham and grew up in Aston.

My other confusion is that Phoebe Lavinia seems to have been born a Guest and married a Guest but used her mothers Maiden name on one of her childrens birth certificates.

Phew! This one makes my head spin!

Any information would be a great help, thanks for your interest,

Debbie

Yes I had discounted the Ulster reference, they were in Rawmarsh,  Yorkshire 1871.

1871 transcribed "Wilster" which I take as Ulster, 81 & 91 "Cork", 1901, the year he died just "Ireland".

Thanks anyway,

Debbie

Ok, thanks Shane, yes I really could do with tracing the marriage for more information, it's driving me crazy, will keep on trying.

Thanks Shane,
I think you have answered me on this subject once before and suggested I order a copy of the birth certificate of one of the children, Lucy, to get the mother's maiden name. I got the certificate and it shows the mother as Elizabeth Davis but I still cannot find the marriage, the first child James was born 1859 or 1861 West Bromwich so I thought it might be just before then but still not finding it, or James's birth. An elderly relative reckons Thomas was catholic and came over about 1848 to make boliers for the railways which is why he moved around a lot.

Cork / Thomas Day born Cork 1833-6

Hi,
I am trying to trace information on my Great Great Grandfather Thomas Day who I believe came to England in about 1848. He worked as a steam boiler maker on the railways and I can trace him on the UK 1871, 1881 and 1891 census. He married Elizabeth Davis from Kidderminster, had several children (the first born in West Bromwich 1859-61) and moved from Staffordshire to Derbyshire to Rawmarsh, Yorkshire. Each census shows him as born in Cork, I believe he was catholic but cannot trace any information (including marriage certificate) prior to the 1871 census.
Wondering if anyone could help?
Much obliged,
Debra
