Looking for Winslows
« on: Sunday 19 December 04 14:49 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I am looking for the parents of Rebekah (sometimes Olivia) Winslow Born 1864 London City.  Is there anyone who would be willing to look for firstly her marriage cert to John Jacobs?  I think she married Sept quarter of 1883 at Whitechapel.  On one of her daughters birth cert mothers name Olivia Winslow. 
I am also hunting John Jacobs born 1861 London City for his parents names.  I would be forever grateful for any assistance.

Hi pollyd

You will have to purchase a marriage certificate as it would be near on impossible to expect anybody to search all the churches and chapels in that area to find a marriage.  In any case, if they married in a registry office then the only way to see the details is by purchasing a certificate as registry office marriage records are not open to the public.

John JACOBS - Rebekah WINSLOW

The ref is:  Whitechapel, September quarter 1883 1c 703.  You can purchase a certificate online for £7:

Once you have the marriage details, you should (hopefully) have the names of the bride and groom's fathers, names of the marriage witnesses and perhaps an address or two which might help locate them in the earlier census.

Good luck
