Any Clues Welcomed

So - have you got the info from the marriage cert and death cert, Maltingo?

Place of birth - death cert
Witnesses - marriage cert

[maltingo]

Gnu,
I only have a copy of the marriage Certificate,
Hendon Register Office,Middlesex,  26th October 1920.
Annie aged 30 years, Spinster.
William aged 47 years, Widower.
She was down as a Daily Domestic and He as a General Labourer ( ex army).

The Death record online,  I take to be hers, because she died in 1979, aged around 90, family remember it to be around that date, when she was cremated at Golders Green Crem, and the record gives birthday as 13.03.1890, which would seem to agree with stated age on Marriage Cert.
Thanks

Does it give the witnesses on the marriage cert?

Also, as Dawn says, the death cert should give the place of birth as it's a recent-ish one.

The baptism record that I found has her baptised in April, which would fit with a March birth - wrong year but I'm always suspicious of dates on marriage and death certs - I've seen  too many examples of wrong info given/recorded.

I used her father's info as a starting point - even here, she could have been illegitimate and made his name up - my grandfather did.

Added - from what you sent, the witnesses are no clue 
Have you thought that Annie might have exaggerated her age to minimise the age difference

Hi maltingo

I'm curious, are you exchanging information with gnu on the personal message system?

Hi Dawn

He sent me the names of the witnesses by PM in reply to my third request for them.

I assumed that he didn't want to mention them in public.

Unless the information requested is about living people, there is no need for Rootschatters to send information on the personal message system.

If there is info to share, please post it openly so that we can all see what is known or has been found, others will then be happier to contribute and may have further things to add. Some chatters may be put off if they think it has all been done already, behind the scenes.

Please note that many people find the site using internet search engines and if the details aren't posted, you might miss out on potential links/ relatives.

Thank you Dawnsh,
I cannot be sure that either or the witness's are deceased, so I pm'd, but I understand fully what you say, and that it gives broader info to all and assist with lookups.
regards

I think it's highly unlikely that someone who acted as a witness at a marriage in 1920 is still alive.
