Jessie Russell

[genealogistsykes]

Hi All,

I am looking for the first marriage of Jessie Russell, she married a black man which was frowned upon in the olden days im not sure if she married him in ghana or in England. If she did marry him in England they would of most likely been married in London. Her second husband was Albert Gosling and they were married in 1915 in St.Giles, London.

I think we may of found her date of birth, as my grandmother said that she was born in London:

Jessie Russell
April 1891, Kensington, London

Some researchers have already found her parents and have come accross a sister by the name of NELLIE! my grandmother said that she had two aunty NELLIES so this must be the right date of birth and parents. I have sent off for Jessie Russell's marriage cert - her second marraiage in 1915 and it should confirm her parents aswell as Alberts parents.

On my grandmothers birth certificate it says Jessie BINEY formerly Russell! her madien name was RUSSELL but when her first husband died she stayed with the name BINEY!

Regards,

Hi,

As the 1915 marriage was in London the certificate will only show the name and occupation of the fathers, no mention of the mothers.

why is that? is it only in 1915 that that happens?

No mothers are mentioned on England and Wales marriage certificates, even now.  Have a look here:

This is a site that is recommended over and over again for the basic information found on certificates.  It really cannot be beaten

ahhh i see, well that's a pain in the arse! how am i gonna find her mother, possibly by tracking her father and then finding her birth with the correct father and maybe i could find her mother that way?

Hi,

You could look for Jessie and her parents on the census records;  her father's name and occupation should be on her marriage certificate.
