An Intriguing Marriage Certificate

[Rowan Tree]

I've not found any possible marriages for Alice on FindMyPast with any variation of the name ASPEY or HASPEY.

I'm hunting through Ancestry now...

EDITED:

If there's a marriage on Ancestry, I haven't spotted it.

I'm going to try the name ELLIS for marriages and then have another look for possible death/burials.

Father George DUTTON!

The tree has her surname ASTLEY but the marriage record has ASPEY

She was a widow and born around 1849. I couldn't find an Alice DUTTON born around that time who married a ----- ASPEY, ASTLEY, etc.

Thanks 

I think this marriage is quite tricky to place alongside other records, like the census, or potential birth records relating to any children this couple may have had.

I've got a feeling that LEAF is a fiendishly difficult name with many variations.

Has anyone been able to pinpoint this couple on the 1891 Census? Or has anyone got a birth or baptism that may relate to a child of Edward and Alice LEAF?

For anyone trying to search for the LEAF family, try the spellings of LEAFE and LAFE.

Edward LEAF may have been born in or near Woodborough, Nottinghamshire (8 miles north-east of Nottingham).

From "Find A Grave:"

Edward LEAF
Burial 25th May 1912
Philips Park Cemetery
Miles Platting
Manchester

There's, unfortunately, no bio with the entry (or a photo of a headstone).
But I might be able to find out a little more...

Oh, and this ties in, location wise, with the 1884 marriage.

NOTE - MODIFIED:
Extra details
Section DConsecrated

The other people in the grave and their positions:

1 James GARVIN
2 Arthur INGHAM
3 James ALKER
4 John RILEY
5 Edna KELLY
6 Edward LEAF
7 Harold GOODALL
8 Samuel HOLLAND
9 Sarah Ellen JONES
10 Alexander McKAY
It actually goes up to 37 separate individuals (none named LEAF, other than Edward).

There's a corresponding death reg. for a 1 year old Edward LEAF who the above burial must correspond with. Perhaps a relative of the Edward LEAF who married in 1884?

The couple didn't have any children registered (surnames LEAF, LEAFE, LEAFF, LAFE and mother's maiden name ASPEY, DUTTON, and similar similar sounding/phonetic variations.).
