James Valentine seems to to be a fairly common name. There is a death in Prescot in 1Q 1864...but no ages shown in the death indices at that time.

Morning Jennifer

The only one Sthwales said is dead is John's b.1862 son also named John who died in the 1914-1918 war

reply 20..........PS Another little titbit - John Sr was born in Germany, and John Jr's son (another John) was killed in Ypres in World War I - fighting the Germans!!

But......Sthwales
how do you know he was German?

Hi all

Am at work so have nothing to refer to.

The story in the family was that John Valentine b1862 was "from down South" and that his family was German. That's why I'm certain that we can discount anyone from Eston, Leeds or Middlesborough!

With reference to Annie Hough Earle's middle name - it is a family middle name that appears on some records and doesn't appear on others. I have some instances where a person is born with the name Hough, others born with the name Earle, some Hough Earle & they appear to have dropped & picked the Hough back up again at leisure. The story in the family is that they dropped the Hough because it sounded German around the time of WWI. I can find nothing to confirm this - some family members still have the name at the beginning of the 1900's.

I'll take another look at this from home this evening and try to include documented facts to tie this up (Very late last night I tried to post the picture of the marriage certificate, but couldn't get it to work, will try again later).

Cheers

Hello Clive

I think that displaying cropped parts of the cert will be okay......if you display the whole cert I think you will have a moderator on your back  "crown copyright"

The technical help section will tell you what to do to display......many many posts have asked for assistance to do what you intend to do!

But......you will probably have to go through a few posts to find the answers

it might be quicker to knock up a post yourself.......how do I

Hello Clive,

To settle a small problem, which John was deceased and on which John's marriage certificate please.

Was it John Snr. born Germany who was shown as deceased on his son's marriage in 1889 to Annie Earle?


Thank you

The trouble with hand me downs is.......

in my researching.....

My grandfather was a Dr Barnado's orphan.........he never was, he was an orphan but not a Barnado's orphan
My grandfather was Irish..........he never was, he was born in Peckham, his grandfather was born in Ireland!
My grandfather owned a Tailor's shop.......he never did he was a Tailor at one time!
and I can go on and on.........but won't

and so far I and probably everyone thats trying to assist believes that John the German is a hand me down.............and we need something concrete/comprehensive to stop all our babbling

 Cool

I've got a few hand me downs too:

That my wife's family were descended from Blind John Metcalf the road engineer - they are not - but a great-great Aunt married one of his descendants
That my mothers family owned a big brickworks in Birmingham - they did not - but her great grandfather had a close friend who did

Evening all

Couldn't get the image into this post, so I've put it into the Photograph Restoration forum, marked ATTN - JenniferC, Bryant & ShaunJ. The witnesses were Richard & Elizabeth Earle, Annie's siblings.

Will take a look at the other queries, and respond to them in a short while.

Cheers

Might be wasting time if it be the wrong one  Cool

Just dashing out but there's a possible King connection in Herts that might be worth looking into. A Robert Gray may have married an Ann King; a James Valentine may have married an Elizabeth King. My PC just crashed and I've lost the details...Anne Gray was from Hatfield...

JAMES VALENTINE married ELIZABETH KING.....1860...Mar qtr....Hatfield R.D (Hertfordshire)

James Valentine seems to to be a fairly common name. There is a death in Prescot in 1Q 1864...but no ages shown in the death indices at that time.

I've only just joined this search but the c1889 marriage cert is here
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,304825.new.html#new

John Valentine(the 27 year old groom) was a Carter....it's his deceased dad James who was a labourer.

Have we cottoned on to that fact yet?

Yes Shaun I think it is  Grin

His job as a Railway Carter fits in with the marriage cert of barely 2 years before.
Presumably that job is what took him 'up north' to have met Annie in the first place?

I wonder who Rosa belongs to (is she the Rosalina Valentine born Leigh Lancs in Sept 1887?)-just Annie or is she his n hers  Grin

RG13/3516 f80  p159 
          
John J Valentine  40 Head General Labourer London Kings Cross, 
Annie  Valentine 34 Wife  Eccleston   
Rhoda  Valentine  8 Daughter  St Helens       
John R  Valentine   6 Son  St Helens
Richard E   Valentine  3 Son  Liverpool

And although his job here says General labourer,if you look at all the others on that census page there are many who are Wire workers,which is exactly what he is on daughter Elizabeth's birth cert dated 1st July 1901 on the linked page.
