Osborn Of Leighton buzzard

[carol46]

Can anyone give me any information on a Thomas prior Osborn from Leighton buzzard he married in St Alban's to a lady with the surname Harris. And prior as the middle name does it mean he had connection to a priory?

Can you include a timescale please?  Are you referring to the 1908 marriage in Herts?

Would suggest Prior is more likely to be a family name than a religious connection. 

[carol46]

Yes married 1908

[CaroleW]

Have you found them on the 1911 census to confirm his birthyear then looked for him on earlier censuses?

Have you checked freebmd  for a birth?

Do you have the marriage cert showing his fathers name?

BTW -surname is Osborne on the marriage entry

[carol46]

No I don't have a marriage certificate short on funds. He is connected to Percival from my Herts post. And the son John is still alive nearly 90. Just trying to find out did the family originally came from Leighton buzzard and how far back.

Hi,

You can find his birth here,

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/login.asp

You have to register but it's free to search.

It shows that his mother's surname was PRIOR.
