search for great grandmothers parents
« on: Tuesday 15 May 18 16:15 BST (UK) »
I’m trying to trace the parents of my great grandmother Edith Williment who married Wilson May on 26/9/1892.
I found a B.Cert for Edith 1871 born Norwich and I contacted the GRO to obtain it: Vol 4b, Page 156, Qtr 2 but they have been unable to find it. The marriage certificate shows her father to be Jacob Williment a labourer. The marriage taking place in Newcastle upon Tyne. As I can’t get her B.Cert I don’t know her mother’s name.
The 1861 census shows a Jacob Williment who is a labourer in Norwich with a wife Sophia. Unfortunately Edith is not on this Census as she’s not yet born. I can’t find Jacob Williment on the 1881 and 1891 census and therefore can’t make a link with the Jacob I’ve found.
Anyone with any advice? Thanks in advance.

There is an Edith Williment, mother's maiden name Cossey, according to GRO Online.

But the reference is Jun qtr 1869 (not 1871), Norwich, 4b 156.

What's the source for the date of the birth registration being 1871?  I see that FreeBMD has it also as 1869.  Perhaps this is why the GRO couldn't fulfil your order?

I see that Edith May's birthplace per post-marriage census is South Shields or Newcastle c1873, so a Norwich birth in 1869 doesn't look very promising in any event ???

There’s a Norwich marriage for Jacob Willement and Sophie Jary in 1854; maybe they moved to Newcastle?
