marriage lookup please

[dutch missmarple]

looking for the marriage of Thomas Brown (b. abt. 1847, Belfast Ireland) and Emma Adsley (b. abt. 1849, where ?)

children:

Thomas Adsley Brown, 1875 Rochester, Kent
Emma brown, 1877 Winchester, Hampshire
Mary Brown, 1879 Colchester, Essex
Ellen Brown, 1882 South Africa
Alice Brown, 1886 South Africa
Charles Brown, 1888 Gibraltar
Lucy Brown, 1890 Chatham, Kent
Harry Brown, 1893 Chatham, Kent

because 3 children were born abroad, I now know why I couldn't find them in England census 1881

Are there any records of when they moved to South Africa and when they came back ?

But most important I would like to know when and where Thomas and Emma were married.

thank you for your time

I cant see how you have age, yet not a birthplace?

Where did the kids yob and pob come from?
Nothing so far at GRO index


You've previously asked .
Did you get a birth certificate for ANY of the kids?

H PaulineJ,

no, I haven't. all the details I have I found on other people's familytrees on Ancestry.
But I must say, there are many familytrees that are not reliable. So much copy and paste work.
Came across this family again and thought give it another try. After reading my earlier post, it's obvious that there are more questions then answers regarding this family. If they are related at all (meaning Thomas Adsley Brown and his "parents" Thomas and Emma).

Per GRO

Thomas Brown registered Medway (ie Chatham) 1875 Vol 02A Page 499
Emma Rope Brown registered Winchester 1876 Vol 02C Page 96
Mary Brown registered Colchester 1879 Vol 04A Page 384
Lucy Brown registered Medway (ie Chatham) 1889 Vol 02A Page 556

In each case mothers surname Smith.

There is a birth registration for an Emma Smith at Medway (ie Higham) in 1849 Vol 05 Page 415

A possibility?

Possibilty
Thomas Brown married Sarah Emma Smith 27 September 1875 St John's Chatham Kent

ADDED
another transcription has his father as Michel Brown, her father as William Smith

thank you all !

looks like Thomas sr. did not marry Emma Adsley, but Sarah Emma Smith.
And that Thomas Adsley Brown was not his son.
All very confusing and it looks like a lot of people just copied the familytree details about Thomas Adsley without any further research.
I will order Thomas Adsley's birthcertificate to be sure 100% who his father was. I don't want any mistakes in my familytree !
