Hi, Karenlee.

Talk about confirmation...

I have literally minutes ago, opened an email from my wife's cousin,  who has been tracing their ( maiden) surname, and as my missus mentioned to her that I was trying to find info about my relatives, she went and searched my fathers maternal side....

And Maud Louisa M Sider is my grandmother, married to Robert Sim in 1913

The only difference is she only has 1911 info and the address as Gordon not Garden.

I googled Garden Rd, Strood and it asked me if I meant Gordon....

So you must have posted literally minutes before cousin did...

Many many thanks.

But I still can't find my father's birth.

Kindest regards, as always.

Hi, Karenlee

You a detective?

Where did you find this? I have tried BMD (the free one) and kept coming up with no results.

I don't think it will give me this info on my grandparents marriage cert....lol

Kindest regards

Tiny,

When you search FreeBMD less is more! Don't try and put in too much info.

Just his name and 1913 and you WILL get his birth.

Also a tip,when you want to reply with a quote,make sure you type your reply well after the word "quote" in [ and ] at the bottom of the previous poster and then yours won't become included in the blue section

Hi, Carol.

Thanks for the info and the tip. If...IF I have done this correctly, then this small missive should appear well below, and not in the blue.

Still waiting for the marriage cert of my grandfather/grandmother.

Kindest regards, as always.

Hi, Karenlee

I presume that all those who have been helpful, will be able to read this post to you?

I have his marriage cert. in front of me.....So here goes..

Married on June 15 1913 ( was married on June 16) Robert Sim to Maud Louisa May Sider. Her father was one James Sider (deceased) Mariner and his father was James SIm Joiner (deceased)

He is shown as being a musician in S W Borderers @ Chatham Barracks. Maud residing at 120, Ordnance St, Chatham, he was aged 29 she was aged 25.

Lot of confirmatory information there, don't you think?

BUT (there has to be one. lol) I cannot trace him in the S W Borderers.

I know that James Sider died in 1888 @Woodbridge, Suffolk and his birth was June (qtr?) 1849 and records for the Sider family match that info.  I( think I would have to get a copy of his death cert to find out what he died of? and maybe shed some light as to why he was in Suffolk.

Do you think (anyone) that the next best step is to get my Great grandparent's marriage cert? Or is there a better route to follow?

I would like to find out more about Robert Sim's army career. I was told he was wounded in WWI, but cannot find any ifo on that. I understand that about 70% of war records were blitzed in WWII

Again, that  you all for your invaluable help, and for starting me off with a new hobby.

Kindest regards, as always
