COPE, PRIEST and TIMMINS - Dudley

[angel~eyes]

I am looking for information on the following people

Violet Cope born in Dudley possibly 1900's
Benjamin PRIEST born in Dudley possibly 1890's he may have served in the 1st WW
these two were married

John TIMMINS born in Dudley possibly 1905ish he married Violet PRIEST daughter of the above - he was abt 15 years older than Violet and she was his second wife.

All information much appreciated. Thanks in advance x

John W Timmins married Violet Priest in the June quarter of 1939 registered at Dudley Staffordshire (6c70)

There is suggestion of a marriage of  a John William Timmins to an Amy Ann Clarke being a civil Marriage at Wolstanton Stoke on Trent WRO/38/008 in 1894 according to the Staffordshire BMD

as a potential first marriage ?

hi FF, I have that thanks. Its Johns parents and Violets grandparents. I found 2 Violet COPE but unsure which is her and abt 5 Benjamin PRIEST x

I looked at the Clark one she never had a child - I think its ROBERTS the child's mothers maiden.

Hello,

there is a Benjamin Priest born 1900 living in Dudley in 1901 with parents John and Sara Jane plus other children.

You could look at 1911 index here: http://www.1911census.co.uk/ for him and Violet. If you find them, you can download the census details for a fee.

best wishes

If there are too many options, it's a marriage certificate then

Thank you Haywood if it were for me that would be my next step. As it is for a friend I can't decide for her but will put the option to her x

It is difficult isn't it - but rather she gets the right information than blame you for the wrong one

Thats very true. I'm a long way from Dudley at the moment so can't get into the RO for her either - strange thing is I have 2 out of 3 of these surnames on my Dad's side so I was hoping I might be able to connect myself x
