Thanks for coming back to me.   I'm afraid I don't know if my Fred had a middle name.   Perhaps the marriage certificate is now the only option?    I'll report back, if you don't mind, if I can find anything further.   According to Mum, Fred was a very handsome chap who married three times.   They buried him at Prestbury church with his first wife and the other two are buried either side of them!!   Don't you just love these snippets of family info.

Hi - yes I have them on the 1901 census after their marriage living at The Common, Over Alderley in Prestbury St. Peter.  It really does seem that before marriage they were both called Slater.   I have Ann in the 1871 census but we just couldn't find Fred any further back.

I don't have marriage or birth certificates for these two but this all started when I obtained a marriage certificate for my Grandfather Frank Slater (Fred and Ann's son)

I'm looking for information on Fred Slater b. 1873 in Shropshire who married Ann Slater b. 1869 in Jun 1894 Macclesfield 8a/164.  I have been on another part of Rootschat with very helpful people trying to trace my mother's side of the family but we have hit a bit of a wall in terms of Fred, my mother's grandfather.  http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,337414.30.html.
My Mum,who is 89, has suddenly become very interested in tracing her roots.  Can anyone help, please?

Hi Silvery

Sorry to trouble you again but would you suggest Shropshire?   In terms of how to link the subjects I'm afraid I have no idea.   You say go the address where it starts???

Hi

Do you think it would be worth going onto another part of Rootschat to see if we could find out more about Fred Slater?   As a newcomer I don't know the etiquette or if that would be a waste of time.

Silvery

Thanks so much for all your help - it is very much appreciated.   It will be great to pass on this info to my Mum.  I'm naturally now intrigued about Fred Slater.   I suppose the only way I can find out more is through a marriage certificate and if the father isn't there I'm out of luck?

Silvery thanks so much for your help thus far.   It's taking me a while to assimilate all the info given.   Unless I have misunderstood, what is puzzling me - unless it is just a coincidence - is that Fred Slater married an Ann Slater?

Hi

I've received the marriage certificate.   Florence Hough and Frank Slater (a blacksmith) both aged 21 married November 2nd 1918.   Both were residents of Butley at the time of marriage.   Frank's father was Fred Slater, a Gardener and Florence's father was indeed Albert Edward Hough also a Gardener.   Another piece of info that Mum remembered was that Florence had a sister called Annie and she is one of the witnesses to the marriage.   It looks as though we were definitely onto the right track.   Is it possible now to help me trace them back?   Your help would be very much appreciated by both Mum and myself.   Lynn

Hi Mum44 and Silvery

Hope you have a great holiday Mum and Silvery will let you have the details as soon as I have them.   Isn't it strange but since I have started this search for my Mum she has remembered all sorts of interesting info about the Houghs and Slaters.   She has never spoken about her grandparents or aunts and uncles before, but I suppose times were very different then.   I suppose it's also true that I never asked!!
