Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Marriage Look Up please...
« on: Monday 06 January 25 22:33 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I'm trying to find my wife's Gt Grandma who has gone missing between the 1901 and 1911 Census'

After lots of searching today I believe I may have found a second marriage for her in Blaby. She was widowed in 1906 when her husband Henry Roberts died. She was born c1861 as Mary Jane Loom(e)s in Blaby and married Henry in 1883. I think she remarried in 1910 to Tom Hall once again in Blaby. The BMD reference is DEC 1910 Blaby 7a 100.

I wonder if anyone may have access to the local registers to see if the new wife of Tom was confirmed as a widow and if there is an address or father's name.

I'm only just back from years away from ancestry hunting but I must say the buzz is as big as ever.

Thanks for any help

Thanks for the heads up on the DNA etc Brigidmac!

I keep telling the wife we should give up the ironing but I can't get her to agree yet :(

Cheers

Thank you so much Cathy!

Yes that's the one, I've used it three times already today :D

I've spent several hours on the tree today instead of ironing oooops

Welcome back to you as well Dave, thanks for the heads up.

I haven't been able to research my tree for many years (15+) but I've retired now and want to carry it on.
I see some of the people who helped me so much back then are still around which I think is amazing. Over time I hope to be able to expand the tree but also help others if possible.
I have restarted my A*try subscription and see they have more resources, not to mention the upcoming 1921 Census but already I'm after some help. Back in the day I used to use a website which was searchable for BMD's in the East Riding (possibly others areas as well) which showed which church the marriages etc were conducted in. This made visits to the Beverley Archives so much easier. My problem is that I cannot remember what it was called! Hopefully it is still up and running and someone in the Rootschat community can remember the website I'm talking about.
If you do remember it please could you give me a heads up?
So glad to be back and Happy New Year to you all

Regards
Ian

Think he was in Kettering, Northamptonshire in 1891. Bricklayer, single, Lodger. Walter Warry age 27 born Leicestershire. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:4L7S-HMM

Thanks JenB, obviously you have a certain nack with names!

I've just looked on Google maps and there's virtually nothing there at all now.

It seems such an unlikely move from there to Blaby but he did it. One of the reasons for trying to find him as he moved there through the years!

Thanks again

Ian

The obvious thing is to order his birth certificate, you can get a pdf copy for £7, you have the reference. His mother’s surname was VINCENT

But how is that going to help locate him in 1881 and 1891, which is the purpose of the enquiry?

I was totally unaware that you can get a PDF certificate for £7, a bit like the old days, so thanks for that!

I have decided to order his birth certificate which should tie down where he was born at least.

It may help with the search but probably not.

I remember checking various army sites with no luck so the only thing I can think of now is a mis-transcription etc

In the 1911 Census he gives pob as Centerford and I think that is what is on the 1921 Census spelt Sentifa.

Thanks, that seems to have legs although I can't find a Centerford either!

Oh well, back to the drawing board

Thanks All
