hi lr
i,ve found this birth reg for an edith wheeler born lambeth 1899  march qtr vol 1d page 445  and an edith mary born lambeth 1899 march qtr vol 1d p 387 .
so these would be consistant with the census record you,ve found if you got the birth cert you should get both mother and fathers names and as you already have found in the census records an edith and edwin wouldn,t it be better to spend £9.50 on this birth cert rather than a very tentative death cert .
hope this makes sense

Edith was my Husbands Grandmother, and I know for a fact that she was in Bridgend when she died.

If I get the birth record for Edith born in Lambeth, that will not prove that she is the right Edith that died in Bridgend.

The correct death record will show her place of birth so I can then search her birth records.

I was thinking of ringing the local records office to see if they could check it first before I paid for the certificate, - would they be able to do check the address as I know where she was living when she died?

I have a marriage certificate for John Davies and Edith Wheeler married in 1919 in Bridgend, South Wales.

According to the certificate Edith was 20 when she married, and her father was Edwin.

I have checked the 1901 and 1911 census' and the only Edith (1899) and Edwin together are in Lambeth, London. I do not want to assume that is corrcet without verification, so have searched for deaths of Edith Davies in the 1980s, so I can order the death certificate and find her place of birth.

There were 2 deaths of Edith Davies' in Bridgend that were born as Wheeler, but the father  on the 1901 and 1911 census is not an Edwin

So, I'm stuck.

Any suggestions?

Hi Nick,

Thank you for the link and info, it is truly appreciated.

I've had a look at the link and it doesn't look as though there is an email address for them.

Kelly.

It's at the bottom of the page - info@fenland.gov.uk

This subject comes up all the time and everyone has their own system (and some work better than others). Will move this to FH Programs, Organisation, Presentation board and you can look through the other topics there for ideas that might suit you.

Thanks, I couldn't find a proper home for it.

Must look harder next time  :)

So , how do you  organise the mountain of papers you will acumulate doing this research?

Anyone use index cards, if so what do you put on them?

I've started with an A4 binder and dividers, one section per grandparent and their ancestors, but smaller cards may be easier to mange.

and I'll keep the binders for the census records, certificates etc

I'd love to know what you pro's use.

Thanks.

I now have Alfred's birth certificate for 1857 which shows their residence at the time as the Long Ashton Union Workhouse.

Are there any records anywhere of entry and exit to the workhouse so I can find out how long they lived there?

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Re: Marriage record 1820 ULEY and Roach

I think the marriage record is correct as it gives the actual date 26.3.1820 both of this parish, by banns.

I think its saying that their burial records can be found in book starting at 1604  :-\

The only other information contained in the parish records would be their status and witnesses name, no other information is usually given.

Thanks, that record just looks odd to me. I was hoping the parish record would give me their fathers.

I was expecting the marraige to appear in the Winterbourne archive records, as it's an excellent site, and all of their children's baptsims are shown there, but it seems to be missing from there.

Thanks again.

It is possible that his wife or mothers maiden name was ULEY and the carried it on with their children. That has happenned to many of the chidren baptised in that same church.

Have a look here - http://www.frenchaymuseumarchives.co.uk/arch_parish_records.htm

My ROACH relatives married ULEY women, and their children all had ULEY as their maiden name.

There are Hoopers in that Parish so maybe a HOOPER married a ULEY.

Gloucestershire Lookup Requests / Marriage record 1820 ULEY and Roach
« on: Saturday 15 January 11 21:10 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to track the marriage of ELiza Uley and John Roach.

I believe they were married in ST John the Baptist church Winterbourne.

However when I search on Ancestry it gives me a burial record instead of a marriage record, but with Marriage details so I think it was transcribed incorrectly

TEXT : 283 26 Mar 1820 John Roach & Eliza Uley botp Banns
BOOK : Burialls 1604. (Burial)
Collection : Gloucestershire: Bristol - Register of Marriages, 1800-1837

Does anyone have access to the real Parish records entry please?
