William Thomas Landricombe - born Plymouth, abt 1857

[Dave Landy]

Hello, for some reason William Thomas' birth (Landricombe or Landricome) is not on the GRO register, so I do not have his mother's maiden name. I have a copy of his marriage certificate to Lillian Elizabeth Turner in 1877 and it says he was 20 years old in December 1877.

His name is just William on the certificate, but the 1881 census has William T and Lillian E Lundricombe, with two children who are on the GRO register, confirming it is the right William.

His father's name on the marriage certificate is also William Landricome, occupation Porter - but I cannot find a census entry for 1861 or 1871 that would give me his mother's name, so that I can tell which William Landricom(b)e was his father - there are two or three choices!

His address at the time of his marriage was 111 Looe Street Plymouth, so the 1871 0r even 1881 census might have his parents living at that address, but I can find nothing by searching online.

If anyone is able to help I would be very grateful, thank you.

Hi

Welcome to rootschat

I cannot see any numbers higher than 40 (Looe Street) - Could it be flat 1, 11 or something similar
 

Who were the witnesses to the wedding.

[Dave Landy]

Thank you for your welcome!

Unfortunately the certificate is printed, rather than a photocopy, so I have to assume Team 3 of the GRO interpreted the address correctly.

It is interesting that apparently his wife is the only one who signed her name, William and the two witnesses all made their marks. The witnesses were Richard Tongue and Elizabeth Landricome. Unfortunately, finding a specific Elizabeth who was alive and still a Landricome in 1877 has been problematic. I thought I had a fairly complete family tree, but if one birth is missing, others might be. Without census confirmation it's become more difficult than I expected.

I can find a likely Jane Western in earlier years, problem being that she married William Kent, a fisherman, in 1854.

And I'm battling with a really slow connection.

I can't open the image for this one:

William Osborn   1
Priscilla Western sister? age 13

Just curious as to who they are.
