I'm looking up a marriage on BMD which I know would have been between 1901 and 1911. I've believe I've found the man in 1906 but the woman appears in 1902. On the face of it, one of these must be incorrect however the volume and page numbers are the SAME. Do other members have similar experiences? I can't see how this many years could be covered on the same page, but I'm quite new to this hobby !
Many thanks.

Could you give us the names, so that we can look for ourselves?
Yes, on the face of it, it does appear incorrect, BUT!!

Many thanks. Yes.
JOHN HOWARD marrying EMILY HOWARD. (She was previously married to Nathan Howard b 1874) and previous to that, she was Emily Lynch, her maiden name was Lilley the daughter of Robert Lilley.
She was from Yaxley Nr Cambridge originally but moved to Manchester and John was from Manchester.
The number is 8d 476.
Thanks very much.
-
March quarter 1902 - Prestwich RD - 8d - page 476 - Emily Howard married either James Henry Lowe or Alfred McGowen = FreeBMD.
-
My 3rd gt grandfather married in Walsall but my 3rd gt grandmother married in Burton on Trent according to transcription, even though when found her she had the Walsall code. Luckily her mother went to live with her so I had her maiden name from that.
-
Thank you very much for the really quick responses. From a marriage certificate we know that as EMILY LYNCH she married NATHAN HOWARD in Dec 18th 1897. We then have her on the 1911 Census with JOHN HOWARD. These 2 were brothers. From records, we see that JOHN HOWARD died in Canada 6 June 1917 after enlisting in Ottawa in January 1916. On that record, it refers to him as "Brother of Nathan Howard and gives the address we already knew in Manchester. Nathan died in 1958 in Hyde Cheshire aged 84.
So, I'm pretty sure that Emily and John were together during 1901 to 1911 and shortly after that it looks like he went to Ontario, signed up in 1916 and died in France 1917.
Perhaps I should start a new topic.
Thanks so far though, it's really nice reading how so many people are willing to help.

Hi, couple of observations/ questions, the 1901 census shows Nathan with Emily, daughter Lily and step daughter Amy. By 1911 Emily is with partner John, children Lily, Emily, Robert, Elizabeth, Ada and step daughter Amy. Have you any of the children's birth certs to show when John started becoming the father, presume Lily was Nathan's, how about Emily
John
-
Hi, answered my own question to some extent. Nathan & Emily are the parents of Lily, Emily, Robert Lilley & Elizabeth according to baptisms. Ada is the daughter of John & Emily. So we have a parting of Nathan c1906-1910. Wondering if John was previously married and not free to marry Emily!

You mention a 1906 marriage with the same volume and page number -
Manchester RD - June quarter 1906 - 8d page 476
Marriages Jun qtr 1906
DEVONSHIRE George William Manchester 8d 476

Hi, thankyou, Yes, but in MAR 1902...there's EMILY HOWARD 8d 476. And this is who I think he married so I couldnt understand why they would have the same number but the dates were 4 years different... I'm going to close this thread and open one under a different heading now that this isn't just a general question any more. I'll do that now but I'm not sure whether I can transfer some of these threads into a New Topic, but I'll try.
In the meantime, thank you so much for your postings - this is such a helpful site.
-
Did Nathan and Emily get back together again as they appear together on the 1939 register. Do you know when Emily died?
John
-
Sorry I'm still trying to get to grips with the site - I couldnt post a new Topic on the same day I posted this one, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to do that. Anyway.....
Yes, I think Emily did get back with Nathan. I'm imagining this scenario......but just a guess, ignoring the children for the time being......
Emily Lilley marries someone called Lynch.
Emily Lynch then marries Nathan Howard in Dec 1897
Emily Howard then appears to leave Nathan and move in with John Howard (Nathan's brother)
John Howard goes to Canada sometime after 1911 and dies in 1917
Emily Howard then at some stage, goes back to Nathan (maybe they didn't divorce, and she could just move back and retain her Howard surname !
NATHAN the father of baby Emily, born in 1901, married Harry Winterbottom in 1922, and she died in 1986.
Gee whizz...I feel exhausted !!
So, the 1939 record you mention, is that an Electoral Roll. I can find on Ancestry ?
-
A volume no simply indicates the geographical area of the event.
Volume 8d refers to the collection of Registration Districts around Manchester.
Page numbers are reset for each year/quarter.
The full reference for a GRO entry is therefore:
Year
Quarter
Volume No
Page No
Volume/Page 8d/476 is likely to appear in each year and quarter ;D
-
Wow thank you very much, that helps me enormously. I just couldn't work it out. Brilliant, I'll sleep better tonight!
Many thanks.
-
EMILY HOWARD died in 1941 aged 72. NATHAN HOWARD died in 1958 aged 84.
-
Hi, Electoral registers from 1922-1931 record Nathan & Emily together. They then appear together in 1939 register(on Ancestry). It's only a theory but I do not think Nathan and Emily ever parted. Nathans age on 1901 census is 27. Where is Nathan in 1911. The John recorded in 1901 aged 18 and would only be 27/28 as he was born in c1883 . Why would he go to Canada to sign up ?

Nathan married Emliy Lynch in 1897. By 1911 it is recorded they have been married 14 years. For some reason in 1911 and with Ada's baptism it appears Nathan is recorded as John

Emily Lilley marries someone called Lynch.
Thank you so much for all this information about EMILY LYNCH (nee LILLEY) family - at the moment, I'm trying to get to the bottom of all the discrepancies on the NATHAN HOWARD/JOHN HOWARD saga and my mind is exploding with that alone :)
I'm going to reply next to Johnhood to thank him also - I dont want to appear rude not coming back substantively yet but I'm getting so caught up in this quest that I need to take stock of what I know so far. I've turned into Miss Marple within the space of a week.
Also, I'm trying to see how I can start a new Topic on this HOWARD family whilst incorporating all the information I've gathered from this great website on my "General Question" topic.
Instead of sitting in the garden - I'm closing blinds and sitting at the laptop !! I will never again be able to suggest my granddaughter gets off her phone !!!!

Thank you so much for all your help. I see you are to bed very late and up very early - this doesnt bode well for me trying to keep my ancestry searching in check !!
So complicated isn't it but I have a bit more info.
We know that JOHN died in 1917. I'm not sure his date of birth was definitely 29th January 1883 because I've seen it as 29 January 1874. I've got his Army record from the Canadian Expeditionary Force - his number was 220371. He was in the 5th Manchester Regiment for 4 years (not sure yet of the dates). Theres 40 odd pages of his Attestation Papers - ending with him dying of his wounds on 6 June 1917. His next of kin is shown as NATHAN HOWARD Lowe Street Denton - which is correct. It shows he enlisted in January 1915 , Ottawa, Ontario. Maybe he didnt have to travel to Ontario, maybe that means his Manchester Regiment sort of "allocated" him to be in the Canadian Infantry - Central Ontario Regiment.
My interest is really in NATHAN. But it's odd that in December 1922 on Emily Howard's marriage to Harry Winterbottom her father's name is down as JOHN HOWARD Rubber Worker (but he died in 1917) BUT on the 1911 Census, that John Howard IS a rubber worker.
I'm going to see if I can find a birth certificate for John to sort his dob out once and for all.
Oh and also, I'm not sure what you mean about the John on the 1901 census and those ages you refer to. I can't see a John on the 1901 Census ...am I misunderstanding?
In the meantime,
-
AAh I think I see what you mean, On the 1911 Census its as if the name JOHN HOWARD should have been NATHAN HOWARD. Which would follow, because on the 1901 Census Nathan is 27 and on the 1911 one he is 37.
I had calculated John's date of birth based on that 1911 Census - which of course is this scenario, was actually NATHAN's dob - 1874 which I already knew was 1874. Because I had calculated what I thought was John's, I had come to the incorrect conclusion that they might be twins. Just shows.
Ha Ha I bet you're sorry you got into these postings !
I still can't think what's behind that name discrepancy and also why "John" 1911 is a rubber worker and "John" is down as a rubber worker on the 1922 Marriage Certificate of Emily Howard marrying Harry Winterbottom - when John died in 1917. The plot thickens.
Incidentally I still can't open a New Topic, it won't let me do that yet.

Thankyou, yes. Those are the parents of Nathan Howard and John Howard. I'm going to be busy tonight (again)!

Hi, been a busy day painting my son's shed. Really struggling to find the family in 1891. Think this ref are john's jnr's elder brother's George and Henry RG12 2796 138 3 & Nathan RG12 3161 110 41.
This begs the question--what has happened to parents, John Snr died?, Elizabeth died, both?
I cannot find a birth for John Jnr c 1883 with mmn Meads/Meeds. In fact there is only one John Howard born +/- 2 years 1883 in Manchester and he is John William Howard mq with mmn Jones.

Thankyou, Hi there.....Good shed painting weather.
I've got the 1881 Census and this shows JOHN HOWARD Snr (b) 1850 ish and ELIZABETH his wife and NATHAN aged 6. It wouldnt show JOHN Jnr because he didnt come along until 1883.
On the 1891 census I wondered if I'd found NATHAN aged 17 as a Page Boy living with what looks to be a Church group headed by Frederic Kranso in Didsbury but this could be a complete red herring?
Then 1901 NATHAN is 27 married to Emily.
I hadn't really clocked that there were more siblings because I've been so caught up with John Jnr and Nathan. At least Nathan is a more unusual name to be searching against !
I've aged ten years in a week !! :)

Thanks so much for all your help. I'm going to take time off to digest all the information you've assisted with, take stock of where I'm up to and decide which lines of enquiry are the important ones for me and which ones could take me of my original quest given half a chance. You've been really helpful.
Many thanks.

Hello,
Did you get any further on solving your mystery?
I think i can help with some of the info, from my research Nathan Howard was my great great grandfather. He had another child in 1891 called Sarah Eveline Howard who was my great grandmother.
you will find Nathan at 4&6 Clyde Road Didsbury in 1891 census as a page boy at the house of a Chaplin called Frederick Krauss.
Nathan was in an industrial school as a child and you can find out some futher info on his family there.
https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBPRS%2FMAN%2F4497825%2F00846&parentid=GBPRS%2FA%2F58002616%2F1
in fact all the boys were in there at some point. Below is the link to John's entry which states "mother dead" so by 1894 Elizabeth was dead.
https://search.findmypast.co.uk/record?id=GBPRS%2FMAN%2F4497826%2F00333&parentid=GBPRS%2FA%2F58002880%2F1
I never found out what happened to his father John but if the descriptions in these entries are anything to go by "drunken lazy man" etc are anything to go by I'm not sure it ended particularly well.
As for the interchanging names, I just assumed that Nathan went between the two names but ive concluded that the 1911 census is the same person as the other entires found.
hope this helps or maybe it adds more to your headache!
