Hi Loafer2
Sorry this is not a proper reply to the message you sent me regarding my Prime ancestors, but I have no reply function in my personal messages! I haven;t found any connection in the Wenhaston area, all my Primes have come from Creeting and Needhan Market.

Hi Clarity37
No problem thanks for getting back to me

I have found  a marriage on the BMD for Edward Charles Winch for Q4 1861 reference 1d 282 Newington. Is it possible to find the name of the wife from that information and if so how is it done? Can anyone help/explain please?
Thanks

its either of these 2 so you would need to find them together on the next census or order the certificate

Thanks Osprey I've learnt something. I've previously done all my BMD searching using Ancestry and wasn't aware it was possible to identify the other person in the marriage. Most helpful.

The birth certificate for Emily Winch born 1861 arrived on Saturday it gives the mothers maiden name as Meacham. I have searched bmd for a marriage between an Emily Meacham and an Edward Winch with no success.

Emily Meacham is easily traceable on the 1841 and 1851 census living in Beccles in Suffolk. How do I establish for certain however that the Emily Meacham shown on the 1841 and 1851 census living with her parents Sophia and Charles is the same person that had a daughter christened Emily Winch with Edward Winch and the same Emily shown in the 1871 census shown as Emily Bradford and living with James Bradford?

I did some further research on this and have found a possible marriage on freebmd between James Bradford and an Emily Sparrow in 1871 in Epsom. I was hopeful of this in that if you look at the census return for Edward Winch in 1841 admittedly when he was only 4, the Winch family were living with the Sparrow family. I am sending for the marriage certificate.

It's difficult to tell at the moment if I am making any progress at all. You have helped me a lot thus far and any further thoughts or comments would be gratefully received.

Well, the birth cert establishes that she's Emily Winch's mother. As to her being also Emily Bradford - I'm not sure you'll be able to PROVE it but I reckon the probability is very high - They do seem to be the only Emily born 1860 Wandsworth / mother Emily born Beccles couple ...
