Thanks Gortonboy much appreciated.

[gortonboy]

are you also trying to trace backwards?  it would be interesting to try and find Elizabeths first marriage? 

[pokerlynne]

                                                            Thanks Lynne.

[gortonboy]

lets start from the 1891 census

John Curran b 1860
Elizabeth Curran b 1859
Margaret Rourke b 1878
Edward Rourke b 1880
Roger Rourke b 1882
James Rourke b 1882
Catherine Curran b 1891

So we know that Elizabeths first marriage is roughly 1877 to 1878,,if she was at least 18 when she got married.

[gortonboy]

there is a marriage of a James Rourke and an Elizabeth Sykes in 1877 Manchester,,,but you really need one of the childrens birth certificates to prove this is the correct marriage ? 

[pokerlynne]

i have Roger B 1882 D 1941
James 1884
Edward 1879
Margaret 1877
Elizabeth 1858
john Curran 1858
Catherine Curran 1890
and  Philip Curran 1895
     
 i also have the Elizabeth Sykes the same as you married to james, if i bought the birth cert of roger rourke would it show both his parents or just his mother.


                                  Thanks Lynne.

[gortonboy]

the birth cert should show both parents names.

[gortonboy]

the info you need to order the cert from the GRO
