Ledgerwood Family

[Patsy Beech]

Hi Folk,

This is a bit of a long shot, but I was hoping that someone could find me a record of a marriage and a  birth in Dublin.

Charles Edward Ledgerwood, born c1863 in Pett, East Sussex, married a Rosina Amelia (surname unknown) born c1873 Maida Vale. The marriage would be somewhere around 1894 and as their first daughter Gladys Maud Ledgerwood was born in Dublin c1895 I thought the marriage might have also taken place in Dublin. This information has been taken from census returns, but I have been unable to trace a marriage for this Charles and Rosina or birth for Gladys.

To complicate matters even further when Gladys married in 1915 (ending March qtr. Woolwich 1d 1821) she married a Charles Ledgerwood.

Glady's siblings were Charles Edward Ledgerwood born c1899 Aldershot. Leonard H. Ledgerwood born c1903 Chatham. Cyril Algernon Ledgerwood born c1904 Chatham. Alfred James Ledgerwood born c1907 Eltham, Kent & Leslie William Ledgerwood born c1908 Eltham, Kent. Some of those places have strong military connections so do you think there could be a possibility of needing to search military records?

All help greatly appreciated.

Online tree has mother as Rosina Amelia Young (nee Day) born 1872 Godalming Surrey. At time of Gladys birth she was married to Thomas Young so record posted bt Sinan is correct as she was registered as Young.
1901 uk census has Rosina in Aldershot military barracks & Thomas Young is in South Africa
