Northamptonshire / Re: Smallman, Austin and Caroline (Northamptonshire)

Hi Sandy,
Ebenezer William is my husbands Grandfather I have his Birth Cert. 22nd Jan 1886 his mother is Caroline Eliza Tattam living at 49 Cyril St Northampton. No father recorded.

Ebenezer's Marriage Cert. to Hilda Catherine Astley at St Mary's RC Church of Warwick on 2nd Aug 1915, states Austin Smallman Painter and Decorator as his father. In the presence of Arthur and Lorrie/Louie Bailey, Ebenezer's sister and brother in law.
Hope that makes sense.

Thanks Chris

Hi Sandy thank you so much for the information. Are you close to the cemetery? Do you know if there are still stones standing for my husbands relatives? I'm still left wondering whether Caroline and Austin married or if Caroline just took Austin's name! Thanks Chris

Hi Suz, talk about timing I have just received Caroline's B/C, Austin's D/C and Ebenezer's B+D/C. Ebenezer s B/C has him named Ebenezer William Smallman with Caroline's surname Tattam and no father. So I guess they probably weren't married! Interestingly as well I've just Google mapped and All Saints is a 6 minute walk to St Giles and Cyril St and St James are only a 17 min walk. All is possible. Wish there were still some relative alive! I actually met my husbands aunt on 2 occasions (the informant noted on Ebenezer's D/C) when she visited Australia, but had never thought I might be doing this one day!

Thank you so much Sandy and Suz, further to the info you found. I have a 1891 census RG12/1197 in which "Carrie" is Austins housekeeper, the children are all there as sons and daughters with Tattam as surname and S as a middle name living on Cyril St St Giles. Funny thing my husbands fathers name was Cyril, his Grandfather was Ebenezer who was 5 at the time. The RootsChat community is amazing!

Hi all you fantastic people I have been trying to find some info on my husbands Great Grandparents Austin Smallman and Caroline Tattam (Northampton). Their marriage has been an impossibility according to the 1911 census they have been married 29 years but I cant find anything to prove this. I have just received an email from GRO saying they have found nothing. At least in 1911 the children are sons and daughters in 1901 they were all boarders and Caroline was a servant to Austin. Any help from you great people out there would be most appreciated. Thanks Chris  :)

Hi all I am also a part of this huge and ever growing family, my grandfather was Samuel Vincent the 10th child of Susan Vincent (nee Robins). A lot of Ancestry trees have a Pierre Robins passing away in China. Can anybody tell me where that information came from?
Hope RootsChat's huge knowledge base can help.
Cheers Chris

Hi all, I am also from the same family tree my grandfather was Samuel the 10th child of George and Susan Vincent. I have a theory that as the photos were taken around the same time the second one is actually Susan Rathbone nee Vincent with some of her children. The photo came originally to me through a great grandaughter of Susan Rathbone so this could be quite possible.

Cheers Chris
