Marriage Cert Question

[shirls15]

thank you... thats confused me 

[shirls15]

Yes please Newf - more details on MESHAK would be great!

[Necromancer]

does seem a lot of kids !

and the first 2 born in the same Quarter of the yaer as the marriage ....

maybe its a coincidence and another Moss married another Wardle in the area ?

Hmmmmmmmm ....

[shirls15]

Also on your previous post Newf are all the births MESHAK's and MARY's children? or anyone's with the surname WARDLE?

EDIT it does seem like a lot of children... would it be possible to have adopted clarence? (i don't know if they did do adoptions then

Just checked 1900 - 1920, no other Moss / Wardle marriages in Basford District on FreeBMD at least !

Might be worth checking elsewhere in case its 2 or more couples having kids in the Basford District, but married elsewhere and moved into the area ...

The index doesnt give full names of parents - and not Fathers at all.

Sorry, not up on adoptions - I dont think they got formal until the 1920s .... but someone on here will know - try a new thread to ask specifically....

thanks for you hardwork Newf

Not all of them lived long:
 
Deaths September quarter 1912
MOSS       John J       0  Basford  7b 142
MOSS    May H    0    Basford    7b   142     

There's also an infant Mary E H Moss who died Jun Q 1916 who might be the Mary E who was born that year.
