Post by: oldhippy on Wednesday 10 April 19 11:09 BST (UK)
Francis Henry Hambling abt Beccles Suffolk 1816-1873 married Susannah; only have birth date abt 1815 Yarmouth, Norfolk. Any help in finding her maiden name please. The marriage documents on Ancestor have only Susannah Hambling.   

Many thanks.

When did they marry?

Have you checked any children’s birth registrations for mother’s maiden name?

I see that mother’s maiden name is recorded as Hanton on at least two of their children’s birth registrations:

Walter Francis, Dec qtr 1841 Norwich
Charlotte, Jun qtr 1844 Henstead

Thanks very much. Ancestry lists names of the children. In this case, all they say is parents name mothers name Susannah. The one with Walter has his name down as Walker. Can I ask where do you get your info? Asking you all the time makes me feel guilty.

Don’t feel guilty!  Rootschat is all about sharing experience and learning from each other.

The marriage is on Ancestry in its collection: “London, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1752-1932”.

The children’s birth registrations (with mother’s maiden name indexed) can be found on the GRO Online site.

“Walker” is just a mistranscription of Walter’s name in the 1851 census.  He’s Walter Hambling in 1861.

Well I tried at Ancestry and I came up blank. I put in the name Francis Henry Hambling, in the location box I put in Beccles Suffolk. In add family member I put in Susannah, then clicked on search and got a list, but nothing on what I’m looking for. Can you spot what I’m doing wrong?  :(

I can’t find where I need to search on GRO Online. I typed it in google and I’m at the sight about passports and the cost of certificates. Do I have to join or pay for a membership? to obtain the info.  :(

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, he married as Henry Hambling, and in London rather than Beccles.

Since you know what collection the marriage is to be found in, you can go straight to that collection and search within it: www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/lmamarriages/
