I missed that Devis.

.................And, how do you do that Liz? In your last post, you included a whole block of text from a census listing. I can't right-click without a copyright notice popping up.

I typed it out!

Copyright rules prevent cut and paste. but the actual information is not copyright, so yuo can type it in your own words.

Devis has found the marriage to Sarah Humphries (well done D)

With the age query on 1851 and no sign after1861, it might be a good idea to get the marriage cert to Biddlecombe, just to confirm that her dad is James the basket weaver and we are looking at the right lass. And to see if it has any other clues.

At pesent everything is hinging on her age on that 1861 census - and we all know censuses can be wrong ...........

I never thought to look beyond middlesex for the marriage of John Packer and Sarah Humphries, So thanks Dev.

You wanna be careful Devis. You're so sharp you'll cut yourself.

Again my thanks to Devis, Lizdb and Louisa Maud. Typing out census info, I call that action above and beyond the call of duty.

PS. I've already ordered Louisa Packers Birth cert. I've always assumed Liz that 19 in 1861 should be 13.
PPS. Guess I'll have to order Louisa and George Biddlecombes marriage certificate now, along with John Packers and Sarah Humphries.

Hopefully the George Bid/Louisa marriage might give us more clues about George too. I cant see a miner in MArylebone - no mines there! And if he was using his mining skills on something else, like digging out for the Underground, he wouldnt call himself a miner, he would call himself something else wouldnt he?

Be interesting to see his occupation at marriage, and his dad's name and occupation too.

Woohoo, just got the 3 certificates in question.

Details of the marriage of Louisa Packer and George Biddlecombe.
Married 5th Feb 1860 at Trinity church, Grays Inn Road, Middlesex.
He was 32, she was 21.
Georges father is listed as James, a laborer. No mention of a mother.

Lizdb, Louisa Packer was born in Park Lane, Christchurch, Marylebone on 3rd Dec. 1937 although the birth wasn't registered until 2nd Jan. 1838, so that means in the 1851 census she was 13/14, not 19, as listed.
