Other Countries / Re: Roker family in India
« on: Thursday 19 October 17 08:19 BST (UK) »
A welcome from me too. Children Margaret and Clara are both shown on the GRO as having the mothers maiden name of Ingham. There is a marriage of a Sarah Jane Ingham to a Thomas Roker on the 4th June, 1860 at St. Peters Dublin. His father was Thomas Roker and hers was William Ingham.
A family tree online shows that his address was Portabello Barracks and her address as Percy Street.
Thomas was in the Army by the looks of it.

Europe / Re: Marriage John Smith with Caroline Godfrey 1888 in Paris
« on: Saturday 14 October 17 15:01 BST (UK) »
Searching all census years for a John Smith born Leiston with no year of birth added brings up only two - one born 1851 (he was 3 months old on the 1851 census) and the one born in 1858 who is still there in 1891 onwards. The one born in 1851 "disappears" after the 1871 census where he was a butchers shopman in Rochester, Kent. There is no sign of him after that. His parents were Thomas, a Blacksmith and wife Harriet(t). Worth a thought!

PS just found one born 1869.

There is only one John Smith on the census with that year of birth plus or minus a couple of years and born Leiston. The problem being that he appears to be still in Suffolk on the 1891 census. That was why I was asking where his year of birth had come from.

The original image on Ancestry shows the marriage date as 13th February, 1888.
Family Search shows the date of marriage as being 16th March, 1888 but there is no image available to check if it was a mistake.
No other information was on the marriage record. Not even any ages. The only thing I missed off was the name of the Chaplain who married them.
Can I ask where his year of birth came from?

Blything is correct for the Registration District, but its going to be difficult narrowing his birth down without a fathers name on his marriage certificate. I can`t understand why there are two marriage dates for them. The details I gave you came from the orginal image, however Family Search have the date as 16th March. I will go and see if i can find out.
