Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Looking for Marriage Details - Parish of Porstea
« on: Sunday 03 May 09 11:25 BST (UK)  »
Thanks for all the possibilities. My husband and I though that it could have been Henry previously because John has a son named 'Henry John Jenkins'. Once we saw the marriage certificate however it placed some doubts into whether or not it was the case.

I will need to dig around a bit to see if I can locate any more information that may narrow it down some more.

On another topic, I'd like to thanks everyone for helping as we were at a bit of a dead end. Also to apologise for the delays in posting due to other rl events getting in the way.

Dee-jay thakyou greatly for checking the microfiche file for me. I'm guessing HRO = Hampshire Registry Office is that right?....GRO I'm at a loss for :)

Hopefully I will be able to get back to researching a bit more and be able to post with a bit more frequency.

Thanks everyone again
Vicki

Not sure if having their childrens names is going to be of any help but they are;

Rosina Jenkins, b 1855 Plymouth, d 1921 IoW Hampshire
Henry John Jenkins, b 1858 Landport (Portsmouth), Hampshire
Albert Edward Jenkins, b Mar 1864 Freshwater IoW, d 3 Mar 1908 Wellington District, Perth, Western Australia
Matilda Jenkins, b 1867 Freshwater IoW.

Rosina is another hard one as we think she appears as a servant (Rose Jenkins) in the 1871 census (from memory) but can't find any further mention of her until she married Alfred Chambers in 1887 in Christ Church, Sandown, Hampshire. From there we have the list of children all born in IoW.

Regards
Corey (Vicki's husband)   :)

I have him at Chale, Hampshire in the 1871 census then Brading, Hampshire for both the 1881 and 1891 census then Sandown, Hampshire for the 1901 census.

For 1871 he is in the Coast Guard.
For 1881 - 1901 he is retired.

Yeah have John Jenkins details. and have downloaded his naval records from the archives. Looking to expand on his and Mary Anns backgrounds a bit more. So will have to see if there is any birth records for either of them. At the moment I have;

John Jenkins:
Born 15 Nov 1830 in Gosport, Hampshire
Died 1908 in Isle of Wight.
Marriage as per certificate
Farther: Possibly Arthur Jenkins, no mothers details yet.

Mary Ann Marlow:
Born abt 1830 in Fordingbridge, Hampshire
Died 21 Nov 1896, aged 66 yrs in Beulah Villa (?) Leeds Street Sandown, Brading in County of Isle of Wight
Marriage as per certificate
Father: Possibly William Marlow, no mothers details yet.

So going to have to work from there

Cheers
Vicki

Yeah similar to what my husband and I thought, although struggling to find any records of either of them at present. Lots of Arthur Jenkins in Wales which may be where this is going to head. Marlow I'll have to dig some more.

I've edited my previous post to include a .pdf link which allows zoom etc that some may find more useful.

Cheers

Hi Lizdb,

Thanks for the quick reply, the link to a scan is below but it is 1.5 mb in size unfortunatley. My original post listed what I thought were the actual entries where possible (?), but as I said I hope you guys can help me out with the remaining. If you need the image changed to make it easier to read then let me know what format you would prefer.

Ok just set up a .pdf file for it so this may be a better option;

Hi I'm hoping someone could shed some light on information contained in a marriage certificate that I received recently. Now the Church I am unable to make out clearly (as it is a copy) however it does state that the copy is from the register of Portsea Island.

The details as far as I can make out from the copy;

1853, Marriage solemnized at "The Church?" in the Parish of Portsea in the County of Hants
No: 350, Oct 12th
John Jenkins, 22yrs, Seaman, HMS Excellent, "Father ?" Jenkins, "Bricklayer?"
Mary Ann Marlow, 23yrs, "Residence?", "Father?" Marlow, "Tailor?"

The marriage was witnessed by Ann Morey and "Unknown?" Morey.

Everything with a ? is too difficult to make out on the copy and I am unsure of the details. I am really after the fathers of both the bride and groom, as this is where I am stuck with my research. Also any other details people have would be much appreciated.

I have John Jenkins' naval records but unfortunately it doesn't have parents details in it either. Also Mary Ann Marlow dies Mary Ann Jenkins on 21st Nov 1896 at Sandown in the sub district of Brading in the County of Isle of Wight aged 66 years.

John Jenkins is still alive at this time and dies in 1908 in the Isle of Wight.

Thanks in advance
Vicki Lewis
