Trying to find Emma Bailey from Boxford

[mum2minxes]

Hello All

My Great Grandmother - Kathleen Tegg (nee Bailey) Born 1887 - D1974 is a bit of mystery with her parents I think i found a few bits about her Kathleen and ordered her Marriage to Edward James Tegg, I found her parents were George Bailey and I think Emma Bailey, I would love to know more about them i.e marriage , according to what i found George may have fathered Kathleen when he was 14 years old !! and that Emma was 8 years older than George.

Would be greatful for any help
Regards
Wendy

Possible, but unlikely that George fathered her age 14! Or if he did, then she would have been illegitimate and unlikely that records would be around showing George was the father!

I see the marriage (KAthleen Bailey / Tegg) was in 1912, annoying as we cant get her on a census after her marriage to ascertain a year and place of birth.
HAve you found her in 1911 not long before her marriage?

Looking at the marriage cert - I gather it says father was George - what was his occupation?
DOes it give an exact age for Kathleen?
What address does she marry from?
names of witnesses?

Presumably you are looking at this 1901 entry:
Rg13 1122 40 1
Boxford
George 28 shepherd bn Wilts ALdbourne
Emma 36 bn Berks Crompton
Kate 14 bn W. Ilsey
Edith 12 bn W Ilsey

(ages are clear)

was George a shepherd on her marriage cert? was she still living in Boxford? Otherwise, is there any evidence this is the right person, or is it just a possibility?

I would imagine the children are actually Emma's from a previous marriage/relationship

George is single, with parents in Albourne Wilts in 1891
RG12 973 28 9

cant see Emma, Edith and Kate as yet to find what name they are under.

What places of birth do Edith and Kate/Kathleen give on 1911? And Emma too for that matter!

Suspect this is the marriage:
