Hi Osprey ... No, I haven't the William Tabb and Anna Maria Keast marriage, 1851, certificate as I have just found in the last couple of days that he was married twice, Anna being his second wife.  It looks like I am going to have to purchase this to see what his father's name and occupation was.

Thanks for your response and info, much appreciated. 
Bonnie

Hiya, sorry, I wasn't ignoring you, I was off being banned for a day for being unfriendly, and then I still couldn't get back in ...

I was just going to say, about William's various ages, to remember that he might not have been baptised at birth, so an 1814 baptism and an 1812ish birth are still possible. Just plain negligence in age reporting is always a good option too. ;)

The marriage certificate should help you along a fair bit.

Just to note that when you search for Tabb baptisms in Merther and nearby parishes, there is a series in St Clement:

Jane 1820
Mary Anne Grigg 1822
Eliza 1825
and John 1830 St Enoder

(I include John from checking the 1841 census)

That William and Mary aged 65 and 50 are with children Eliza 15 and John 10 in St Enoder in 1841 but seem to be deceased by 1851.

Given the age difference ... there's an Elizabeth Tabb baptism in 1808 in Merther with parents William and Ann ... could Mary have been a second wife?

Just idle poking around ...

Hi J ...gosh, getting reported  ???   some people do get a bit precious.  Heck, I have been given in the last couple a days a couple of good serves myself  ... whats the point of throwing a tantrum and running off and telling the Headmaster  ...  of pleaseeeeeeeee  ...

... so, thanks again for the input which I have added to the growing pile of terrific information.  Obviously I need to get the marriage certificate but I blew my budget big time last year on BDMs and this purchase has just got to wait a while, unfortunately.

Will let you know (but don't hold your breathe) when I get the certificate.
Stay happy ...  ;D  Bonnie

I hope you're getting certs from the cheapest source

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

Don't buy them from family history sites, they charge extortionate amounts.

Hi Osprey ... thanks, yes I always buy thru the GRO and a bit of a bonus for us 'down under' is that the exchange rate is quite good however I do need to watch the pennies at present.  Bonnie

glad you weren't wasting money getting them from the commercial sites. I hate that some people get lured in by their adverts and end up paying so much more than they need to.

Hi Osprey, I wonder why the GRO doesn't have an online service that you can download BDM's ? or that they could scan and email them.  I have had certificates go astray, birth certificates printed on death certificates and it takes weeks and weeks for them to arrive 'down under'.  It would be great if I had a reliable personal contact in the UK where the certificates could go to and they could scan it for me then email, plus post original later.  This is something I am working on at present.
Interestingly, it isn't available for us in the state of New South Wales, but it is in the state of Victoria.
I use a transcription agency when I want BDM's in NSW, far cheaper than going direct to the official site BUT I have found that there have been errors in transcribing.  Bonnie

because it's too expensive to scan the millions of certs involved

What you get from the GRO/IPS isn't the original. The original certs are held by the local registrars who used to make copies and send them off quarterly to the GRO.

You can buy from the local registrar, but it can cost more, they charge postage or want an sae, and sometimes don't have the facility to take credit cards. The public don't have access to the registers. Considering you don't pay extra for postage from the IPS wherever you are, it's a pretty good deal.

Hi Osprey ... well I certainly see your point that there would be millions and ...  of BDM's held by the GRO ...   kinda dumb of me to not think of that angle before. 
... and your right, the cost is not that expensive, in fact it is cheaper to get a BDM from the GRO than to buy the equivalent from the NSW BDM .... Bonnie
