Did this couple marry?

With regards to:

I appreciate all your research enzfan, what I find awkward is Ann possibly appearing in 1851 on 2 census.

Two different Anns. Ann Preston Jackson with a Henry Bailey in Sunderland and probably Ann Cornwall in Northumberland under the name Ann Hood. Nothing here is certain

If you think that is the right Henry with Ann Preston Jackson, the marriage certificate would hopefully show his father’s name.
You say you want to find this out.

**Ignore this - they are in 1851 as a family - Sorry!
There is this Henry in 1841

1841 851/26/9
East Retford , Nottinghamshire

James Bailey 52 yrs Whitesmith
Eliza Bailey 25 yrs
Henry Bailey 20 yrs  do’s App.


What is Henry’s occupation on his son’s birth certificate and is there an address in Bishop Wearmouth?

[enzfan]

I've discounted that Henry Bailey. I dug into that one. James' wife was Martha and I've tracked the family and am confident that this is not him. Have made a strong note in my tree

On Henry Bailey Thompson's birth record Henry snr is a shipwright journeyman. On his shipping record he is a toolmaker.

Place of birth for Henry jnr is 7 Willow Terrace, Bishopwearmouth

[softly softly]

Just out of interest what details are there on the birth cert of Robert Cornwall Bailey born 1859. Fathers occupation etc.

I don't have the birth certificate

It looks as though they didn’t marry in UK.
If that is Henry in 1851 and married to Ann Preston Jackson, I can’t see any births  for that couple.
You know that Ann Cornwall married Joseph Wood and they too may be in 1851 as ‘Hood’ . Again, there does not seem to be any births for them.

You then have Henry Bailey Thompson born in 1857, in the right area for the 1851 couples.

For them to marry legally, both partners would have died 1851 -1856.
They must have moved to Manchester 1857-1859 - more likely later as Henry’s baptism was early 1859 in Manchester.

I hope someone can find a marriage - it may have been mistranscribed.

The Jackson/Bailey marriage might prove it is the right Henry and give more information.
