Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Viewing Marraige Record for Mary Ann Riddell and James Elliott

Thank you all so much, I appreciate the help! I'll just need to keep digging so see if I can confirm that Mary Ann Riddell is indeed my ancestor.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Viewing Marraige Record for Mary Ann Riddell and James Elliott
« on: Friday 25 August 23 21:30 BST (UK)  »
I want to view the Marriage record of Mary Ann Riddell (also listed as Riddett) and James Elliott. I have the reference to this record via ancestry.

The marriage date is 4 Nov 1822, at St. Mary's Church, Portsea, Hampshire, England.
FHL Film Number: 1596294
Reference ID: Page 118 #353.

I'm not sure this is the correct record - the Mary Ann & James I am looking for have a somewhat unique age gap for the time - she is 7 or 8 years his senior.

Any tips on how I can do this? Thank you!

I love this forum - you have such excellent research skills! Forfairan - I took that screenshot from the NAS website in January of 2018. They must of all been removed after. My guess about the remaining ones - they just got missed. Human error.

Also, marriage was 1944, did you mean to say 1945 for divorce to first wife?

For some reason, I am not finding the divorce indexed on the NRS website, which I thought it would be as they say:

Quote
From 1935 to 1984, individual divorce cases are listed in our catalogue and can be found by searching for either party involved in the action.

And, neither the 1919 and 1944 marriages, nor the 1966 death, are indexed with a middle name for Richard.

In 1892, not 1893, there is this birth:

GRAY
RICHARD CRADDOC
CRADDOCK
M
1892
578 / 686
AYR

So if your chap, it certainly looks like he rarely used 'Craddock' or even 'C', on records in later life.

I think I was lucky and found the record before it was pulled from the site. Originally, it should have been released in 2020, but when the law was changed it got pushed to 2045.

And you are correct, he often does not use that middle name, but I do have birth, marriage (x 2), divorce, and death records.

From someone's family tree.

Richard Craddock Gray got remarried on 15 July 1944 at St Mungo's RC Church, Glasgow. He stated he was a bachelor at the time.

A Michael and Mary Joyce show as witnesses.

I think it's from my tree lol. That was his second marriage, which took place 4 months after the divorce was finalized.

Have you obtained the marriage certificate for Richard and Isabella? I see they were married in Kilmarnock in 1919. Ref 597/9. This is from www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk

If so there should be what is called an RCE attached to it (Register of Corrected Entries) which will not give you all the details of the divorce but tell you who instigated the divorce, when granted and their addresses, if known.

Hope this helps,

Dorrie

Ha! This is likely the only record I hadn't downloaded, and there was the RCE! You are correct, no details of the divorce are given, but there is a date and an address. I guess I'll just have to wait until 2045 to see the actual records.

With a divorce, it is always worth looking to see if the newspapers mention it.

Huh, I had never considered that. Would they only report the divorces of more prominent people? My Grandfather was a labourer.

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Words written on top of 1931 Canadian Census
« on: Wednesday 26 July 23 14:44 BST (UK)  »
Hello,

This is a long shot - but there are words written sideways overtop of the designation "lodger" in the Canadian census that I can't make out at all. To offer some context the household contains a 'head', a 'domestic' (my grandmother), and 5 children who are hers but not his, and all listed as 'lodgers'. Any chance anyone can make out what this is? Below is a link to the ancestry full page (my attachment is too big), and a close-up screen shot of the words that have been rotated 90 degrees. Thank you!
