PILBEAM May Young + William John HOOPER

[wildswan]

Is there anyone who can help with this MARRIAGE please?  Are there any Parish Registers or Banns online where I can see who the parents of both these people are?   Or can someone please help with a look-up maybe someone has a disk or something with these marriages.  Thank you very much.  TRISH

I found the couple on the 1911 census. So, using their ages and birthplaces from that:

1901 census: Class: RG13; Piece: 580; Folio: 80; Page: 27

Can't see anything for May Young Pilbeam - not even a birth registration!

It is William John HOOPER + May Young HOOPER
I have them on the 1911 and other Census, I am trying to find out who this May Young PILBEAM’S parents are any ideas of where to look for that?
They are in 114 Albert Road Croydon Surrey in the 1911 census
William John   Hooper   Head   Married   Male   31   1880   Journeyman Carpenter   Sutton Surrey   
May Young   Hooper   Wife   Married   Female   31   1880   -   Sutton

No I can’t find a Birth for May Young PILBEAM either, I have a May Young 'Nurse child' listed with a family in the 1881 census. The family is Alfred GALE and Harriet and her children named PILBEAM she was a widow and remarried an Alfred GALE and they had children together they are on the 1881 census together with GALE children and a PILBEAM child and this May Young Nurse child.  Since seeing this Census I have been trying to work out who this May Young is ‘nurse child’ is she an illegitimate child of one of the PILBEAM girls?  Or a relatives child whom Harriet is wet nursing. Harriet has a pone year old son on the same census and the Nurse child May young is 1 year old as well.  I am wondering if the marriage I found for May Young PILBEAM to William John HOOPER is in fact this ‘Nurse Child’ May young ?

That is William J  HOOPER on the 1901 Census thank you.  I have all the census for him before he married and after he married.

The marriage was in Epsom Registration district. This RD consists of 16 parishes!

My guess would be that they married in Sutton? But that only cuts the list to 3 churches, plus the possibility of a Register Office marriage?!

The Parish Registers are currently held at Sutton Heritage, Central Library, St Nicholas Way, Sutton.

IMHO paying £9.25 for the GRO marriage certificate is probably the best option!

Another member, kerryb, is researching the Pilbeam name so she may be able to help you.

Hi

Unfortunately these Pilbeams don’t appear on my tree.  Mine are all in the Dallington area of East Sussex.  I agree with KGarrad, your best bet to find her father at least, is to order the marriage certificate.  You never know there may be a clue amongst the witnesses too.

The marriage is available in Sutton, St Nicholas Marriages. Unfortunately May's father is given as " Unknown". She was 23 and at the same address as William John Hooper. Both witnesses are named Hooper.
