Thank you very much Trubrit. I think there is every chance that this is the marriage of William and Alice and the other information is relevant too. I knew that this side of the family were in the Vale of Bevoir, but didn't know they were close to Edwalton where I grew up.

Thanks once again. :)

Hello Victor

Many thanks for taking the time to reply to this old post of mine. They do indeed belong to me. It just shows it pays to post questions on rootschat as there's always a chance someone will answer you even if it takes nearly four years! Never give up.

Thank you again.

Kind regards

Linda

Thanks groom, it had crossed my mind that this could be the case. I think this is going to be a unresolved mystery. :(

Good heavens - what quick replies!

Yes, her parents were William Gunn and Phoebe Millington and that's them on the 1871 census groom.  :)

I think you are right about the 'Tongue' part of her name fifer1947, if not it's definately a possibility.  :)

rosie99 This is her isn't it and I did wonder if her birth was never registered. One of the reasons for sending for the her marriage certificate was to see if her father was William Gunn. William and Phoebe (married 4 August 1846) had a son William Gunn Millington born abt 1846  a daughter Mary Ann born abt 1848 and then Isabella born abt 1867ish. I haven't found any other children. The gap does seem very large between them and I too wondered if maybe Mary Ann was Isabellas mother as she is the right age. As the father is listed on the wedding cert as William Gunn, maybe they lied to cover a 'base born' child or is there something else going on? :-\

Thank you for your help, it's greatly appreciated.

Nottinghamshire / Isabella Tongue Gunn Birth - Keyworth
« on: Monday 16 May 11 17:29 BST (UK)  »


I have searched in vain for the birth of Isabella. I have her marriage certificate and she married in 1891 (10 February) aged 23 so she must have been born about 1867/8.

On the 1891 census (taken on the night of 5/6 April) her age is now 24 so I am now guessing her birth must have been 1867.

Although she was married at the register office (in the district of Bingham), her life was spent in Keyworth and on other census this is given as her place of birth. I have checked on the Keyworth History site and BMD and cannot find her, does anyone have any ideas where else I can look, or can anyone else find her birth?

Incidentally, the 'Tongue' part of her name is missing on her wedding certificate.

Can anyone find this family on the 1851 census?

Thomas Lord (abt 1827), his wife Susan (abt 1827)  and six children can be found on the 1861 census living on Bunhill Row? Nottingham. They all appear to have been born in Nottingham St Mary. I have looked but cannot find them on the 1851 census.

Any help would be great.

Hi Niksmum,

I have been away and not near a computer - sorry. Only just had a look and it's looks great to me, thank you. I don't have the photograph anymore as a friends grandson needed it back for a school project, so I can't rescan. (Not totally sure I would have managed it with the help of hubby!)

May thanks again.

I wonder if anyone would be good enough to have a look at this very tatty photograph. I might be asking too much as it is in real old state and maybe beyond help.

Many thanks.
