Hi Deb
Thanks so much for trying to help I have spent hours on this one!
On his marriage certificate to Harriet Hitchcock in October 1890 the witnesses were Edwin Hitchcock & Ada Minnie Hitchcock.
They married in St Lukes Church in the Parish of St Luke Victoria Dock in the County of West Ham.
I got his fathers name from the marriage certificate as I had no clues at all as to his parents identity it doesnt say Joshua was deceased and gives his occupation as General Labourer.
I am now stuck as I cant find either a marriage for Joshua or a birth for Ernest to order a certificate.
When i received the marriage cert I was delighted as I thougth Joshua would be an easy one!
Soooooo wrong
I just dont know where to go next. Are there any electoral rolls available for the area of that time that I could check who was at the address he gave on his marrriage cert??
Any help or suggestions would be wonderful
