Hi all,
I am putting this request here on the England board as it covers both the counties of London & Middlesex as well as Surrey.
I am helping a friend with their family history & have hit a bit of a brickwall! I can find absolutely nothing of an ancestor prior to her marriage! Nada! Zilch!
The facts are as follows:
Marie Blanche Catherine Davies (abt 1861-1937) married Robert John Johnstone on 21st Dec 1879 at St Stephen, Rochester Row, Westminster (St George Hanover Square reg dist). On the marriage record she gives her age as 18, address as 183, Vauxhall Bridge Road & her father as Walter Davies a Coachman.
On the 1881 Census they are at 28, Gatliff Buildings, St George Hanover Square (RG11/109/51/27) and gives her place of birth as Brixton, Surrey. Marie died on 1st Jan 1937 age 75 in the Woolwich reg dist area.
Prior to her 1879 marriage nothing, she seems to just appear out of nowhere! No birth index record, no baptism & I am unable to find her or any of her family on the 1861 & 1871 censuses.
If anyone is able assist with this I would be grateful as this is seriously bugging me now!
Many thanks in advance.
Kind regards
David
