Thomas Loveday married Elizabeth Davie s in Cardiff 1890 ( COMPLETE)

[triathlon]

I would like to order marriage certs for Martha's marriage to William Holland  in 1881 and her marriage to John Smith in 1870.

Can anyone please advise me what is the best way of ordering the certs as I need to check that Martha's fathers name is LOVEDAY.  I cant seem to find any spouse details regrding her marriage am I using the wrong site?

Once I get her marriage cert I can then (I hope) sort out her birth cert

It's easier to match spouses on it.

You need to wait for the marriage cert before you order the birth cert as you won't know if it's correct otherwise. If the father is Jonathan, I've given you the reg. The GRO don't offer a checking service any longer, so you'll need to get the certificates from the local office

the 1901 census shows a William Holland aged 50 in Southwick (RG13/1938 folio 24 pg 4) who may account for the 1910 death reg in Westbury as that district covers these parishes

Thank you again for all your work.
I ordered Thomas H Loveday birth cert today over the phone with credit card at Swindon registrars office.  Helpful people , I'll try that for the Holland marriage cert do you think.
I've just found a MIGRATION thanks again to this forun for a Thomas LOVEDAY in 1911.  222 Dec 1911 London - Sydney ORSOVA - states single male grocer.  Could this be him.  Any idea where I might get an age of this passenger?

the age should be on the record. Doesn't seem to be in this case. This voyage is December 1911, so he should be on the 1911 census.

You could ask on the Australian board to see if they can find any record of him after his arrival. There aren't census records available, but there are electoral rolls and prents names are sometimes on bmds.

If Swindon allow you to order that way, it's fine. Not all offices do. There's no way of telling until you try.

Just checked the 1911 census again but cannot find him, off to the Australia board. Thanks.

Just received the birth cert of Thomas Henry LOVEDAY born 21 Dec 1866.  Only his mother Martha LOVEDAY is recorded and Thomas was born in the Union Workhouse Stratton St Margaret.

Martha Loveday went on to be Martha HOLLAND who in 1907 looked after Thomas's daughter Eliza Jane before she was placed in Barnados in 1908.

I am still trying to find what happened to Thomas Henry LOVEDAY.  I can find no death for him in the UK at all; I can only find 1 migration shipping record for a  possibility who went to Aussie.  Unfortunately that was not him.

Have I missed anything, where could he be?

he could have been on a ship as crew. How about the States? Have you tried the Ellis Island site?
