Hi Craig
Thanks for the information.
We have since found out that Ewins Close is named after the Ewins that used to own the land there. The Museum on the site gave us (myself and other fellow Ewins') the information.
I have visited the Cemetery myself and seen some graves, althiught I think there are couple more that I've not seen yet.
I live reasonably close to Ash, so can always pay another visit.
Are you yourself realted to a Ewins ? That would be really interesting if you were realted to teh Ewins family and still living in Ash.
Currently in contact with two other Ewins' in my tree, goiung back to 1850 now. Still Searching....
Regards
Tim

Thanks for the information .... the days before scanners and photocopiers !
I found it interesting that the certificates are therefore just a 'copy' of the information (penned around the same time), and were not written at the same time/in the presence of, the people in question.
So the ancestors signed a register, this info was sent to the GRO, who then wrote yet another certificate out ..... those were the days.
I guess they just scan things now ?

Hi, sorry have been really busy at work of late, and this is my first 'family tree update' for weeks
I can confirm definitely that Charles c1827 is the son of James and Maria (Deadman)
I've also had some fun confirming that Charles c1851 (his son) married a Fanny Rixon. I too have now seen spellings like Ewens, and even a mismatched certificate reference on the archives.
We visited Easthampstead Church again today, and there is possibly grave stone with the initials JE on it. Its hard to make out the J .... and the rest is worn away. Its right near the chuch spire, right next to a tree.
Do you want to carry on this thread here, or go to Private Messaging? as you have obviously spent a lot of time and effort on this, and its really just of interedt to the Ewins family decendents?
I have now filled in my tree with all the info you have given above.
Cheers
Tim

Family History Beginners Board / Marriage Certificate Question
« on: Sunday 20 March 11 18:42 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Really easy question .. but I'm not sure on the answer ...
I've been getting hold of my ancestors marriage certificates, and have noticed that they are all written in the same handwriting, i.e the registrar. This also applies to the section where the certificate is signed.
Looking at my own marriage certificate, this section is signed by me and my wife, along with the witnesses.
Am I to assume that when people get married there are two certificates written out by the registrar, one completely, and another with blanks for the couple and the witnesses to sign. The couple then get the 'original' and the 'copy' is recorded in the archives ?
We can't remember whether we signed two documents of not, or has this all changed in the last 50 years (I doubt)?
Another interesting point is that I have one certificte where the signature box reads
'name' X her mark
Which obvioulsy means she couldn't write ?
Help appreciated
