Hobbs family

[vjacks]

Hi- William  Henry Hobbs born Bristol 1850-married Jane L Walker 1878 had 4 children --Esther, Arthur, David & Leah, died 1901 in Kings Norton. William had a Brother David also born Bristol also moved to Kings Norton who was my Grandmothers Father. I have searched with no luck for a Birth Cert for William - I need to know his Mothers maiden name. Her Christan name was Esther. Anyone out there searching this Hobbs line??? I would appreciate if I could hear from someone . Thanks
Viv

The only Hobbs = Esther marriage I can find is Charles Hobbs to Esther Humphries/Sep.1837/Gloucester/11/293,but I think I found them in 1841-51.In 51 she was remarried

David's marriage:
Dec.1871/B'ham/6d/197
This will at least give father's name then we can look for him.

Found a death for Esther Hobbs/dec.1889/Aston/6d/153/aged 75
The age is about the same as the 1861 info. for Esther who is listed as 43.

To Jim and Tricia who answered my Hobbs queries - Thank you Thank you- I had found some of them on the 1901 and I had checked the Marriages - and I have Davids Marriage cert and his fathers death date. What I am really after is the marriage of Esther to Thomas Hobbs about 1845-7. I have checked the BMDs and not found them. Was it compulsary to r egister the marriage by 1845?. I have sent for the BC of all the David Hobbs on BMDs for 5 years and none were mine and the 2 Williams I found were also not mine so I am wondering if it was too costly to register the births.Esther was a widow in 1850.
I really do appreciate the kindness of you all
Thank you so much

Was it compulsary to register the marriage by 1845?.

It was compulsory for a marriage to be registered,but it wasn't compulsory to marry in the first place 
They may not have.
