Marriage Watkins/Rhodes
« on: Thursday 17 November 05 22:23 GMT (UK) »
Can anyone help? I'm having trouble finding the marriage of John Henry Rhodes and Sophia Watkins c 1886 - 1889.  Their eldest child was born c 1888 and she was 22 in the 1891 census. John Henry Rhodes did not appear on this census (nor the 1901) with the rest of his family.  He is noted as a deceased 'traveller' on his second son (Cecil Gywnne's) wedding certificate of 1919 and he had a reputation as 'a bit of a lad'

I have found a John Henry Rhodes married Dec Qtr 1886 in Bradford and a John Rhodes married jun 1888, but cannot find a Sophia Watkins married at the same time.  I am only presuming they were married in Bradford area as thats where she appears living with her mum in the 1891 census.

Any help much appreciated.

Hi Tioman.

I assume you've been looking for the marriages on Freebmd, so one thing to bear in mind is that it's not complete yet.  The marriage you found in 1888 has only 3 names on the page so obviously in this case there is a female name that has not been transcribed yet, so it might or might not be yours.

There is however a marriage entry for March1/4 1887 which contains both names, John Rhodes and Sophia Watkins in Liverpool 8b 149

Might not be the right marriage but could be worth looking into.

happy hunting
