Martin : William Charles

[Twiglets]

I am facing a brick wall with my ancestor, and am hoping that i can have some help with finding out more about my Martin ancestors,

i don't have too much to go on with, only the date on when

William Charles Martin & Emily Mary White Married,

26 December 1886, St. John the Evangelist, Westminster, England

William Charles Martin's parent's names were:

William James Martin & Jessie ?


please also help me find out what Jessie's last name was.

William Martin 7 yrs b Westminster
parents William and Jessie

does this age fit in. Have you found William and Emily after marriage  - do you know where they lived?

[heywood]

here they are in 1881 - dad is WIlliam J and son William C so looks likely

1881 RG11; Piece: 111; Folio: 36; Page: 66
you can view this yourself - also on Free BMD a birth 1863 for WIlliam Charles to back it up.

Heywood
Yes William J is the father of William Charles Martin, i have this information, it's anything before William J Martin that i'm Lacking.

I was confirming that the 1871 census fits in with the 1881 so perhaps I was on the right track 

It sometimes takes quite a bit of foraging to come up with anything and you had given very scant information.

William and Emily married in St. Pauls Church, Clapham, Surrey, England, then settled in Westminster, England, where they had Emily Elizabeth Jessie Martin & Lucy Rose Alice Martin

I know that i didn't give very much information, but it's because i don't have too much, actually hardly anything, mainly just what i have posted.

That's ok and the one I found is listed as William with father William so there was no evidence to show that he was yours.
I then found that in 1881 the census has him as William C and father as William J so that confirms it hopefully.
You would then have siblings for William in 1881 - which you may have already found, although you didn't state that.
I thought you would be glad to have more information about the family- that is the siblings.
Now 1871 has two other siblings- who are not on 1881 and the next course of action would usually be that I would post that information once we have established that we are on the right track.
I asked where William and Emily were post wedding so that if necessary I could have found his place and date of birth from the census.
As it happens I cannot yet find them in 1861 - where they should be according to the ages of their oldest child - Jessie aged 11 yrs in 1871.
Nor can I yet find a marriage that would be around that year but I am still looking.
