Family History Beginners Board / Where did Sophia Roffey go?
« on: Monday 10 January 22 22:33 GMT (UK)  »
Sophia ROFFEY, born 1844 in Bermondsey to George William and Eliza.

I see her on the 1851 census with her parents (mistranscribed as Raffay) but can't find her after that.

other siblings are with the parents in 1861. I can't find a plausible death record, marriage record or on the census.

Help!

Wrong one - the Emily I'm looking for married George Smith in 1919 and lived until the 80s.

Yes that's her.

I had this thread, which was so helpful in other ways but she couldn't be found

That is interesting! Especially as there is supposedly a "French connection" in this story but again I'm clutching at straws!

I've basically been trying for years to find an Emily JERVIS born 1896 in Southwark, on the 1901 and 1911 censuses. The family story is that she was brought up by 2 aunts (mother dead and father off the scene)

I have tried EVERY combination of Emily, 1896, names beginning with J, ending in -vis, looking for an adopted child living with 2 sisters.

I came across Emily Marvis and thought maybe it was something!

Thanks all.

It was Emily I was hoping to find in 1911. But to be honest I am really clutching at straws trying to break down a years old brick wall - this most likely isn't the right person anyway.

Family History Beginners Board / Can anybody find any of this household in 1911?

In 1901 in Sheffield there is a household of a Priscilla WELLES (although looks like WILLIS in the image) born London abt 1857; her sister Louisa BOAG born London abt 1855 and their adopted child Emily MARVIS born Sheffield abt 1896.

I can't find any of this household in 1911...both sisters are widows but I can't find marriage records for them or a birth record for Emily.

Help!

Family History Beginners Board / Re: Does a marriage record still exist in the case of bigamy?

Thanks all. I'll have to decide whether I want to fork out for the certificate or not!

Family History Beginners Board / Does a marriage record still exist in the case of bigamy?

Probably a silly question...

Frederick ROFFEY married Ann susannah MITCHELL in 1898, Islington. I can see the entry on the marriage index.

This was a bigamous marriage as his wife who he married in 1881 was still alive. He was sentenced to hard labour.

What I want to find is the actual record - usually in the London banns collection. I want to know whether he listed himself as single or widowed, where he lived etc.

Would it have been removed? As the record always shows 3 other marriages, is there a way of knowing who else would be on that record and finding the image that way?

I don't know. It was my grandparents who met her and thought they were sisters...my grandmother was an artist so very good at analysing faces and she said they were practically identical! My gt grandmother had introduced Beatrice as a friend rather than a cousin and claimed they weren't related so there was no reason for them to think it really.
