When did Elizabeth Jane Ethel Robertson marry Thomas Brown????
« on: Thursday 04 September 14 13:36 BST (UK) »
Hoping for some assistance to locate the marriage of Elizabeth Jane Ethel Robertson [aka Ethel] and Thomas Brown please. 

The facts:
*Elizabeth Jane Ethel Robertson was born Jul 1868 at Hazel Hill, Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire; she was the youngest daughter of William Robertson Justice of the Peace and Deputy Lieutenant of Pembrokeshire & Mary Musgrave Bowen
* Elizabeth married Thomas Brown an Army Bandmaster and son of James Conway Brown & Ruth Jones.  James was a Professor of Music & Licentiate In Music & Fellow Of Trinity College London
* By the 1911 Census Thomas & Elizabeth had been married for 20 full years and were living with their 19 year old daughter Ethel at Gosport. Hampshire
* Elizabeth's death was registered in Dec 1935 at Christchurch Hampshire.  I have not been able to locate Thomas' death.

I cannot locate Thomas & Elizabeth's marriage and hope for some assistance please....

There is a marriage in March 1891 with a Elizabeth Jane E Robertson, Farnham 2a, 168  - but it's not clear who she married as there is only one male name in the list John Ernest Turner.  I'm wondering if this is the marriage, but he has been missed.   Farnham included Aldershot where the daughter was born.  A possible.............

When Elizabeth died in 1935 was she described as a widow on her death cert, or as wife of Thomas? Did he register the death?
That will narrow down when he died.

Sorry Lizdb - I only have the info from FreeBDM.  Maybe I have to buy her death certificate :'(

I did not locate a Probate record for Elizabeth either which would have told me if she was a widow but sadly none [that I could locate].
