Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Details on marriage certificate
« on: Tuesday 22 August 17 19:24 BST (UK) »
I've tracked down and ordered the marriage certificate for my great grandparents but am having a little difficulty with the following information:
Rank/profession for John Davis
Residence for both John and Johanna
Fathers profession for Johanna
Witness names
Church name
Was wondering if anyone would be able to help.
Thanks

Jeanette - Have sent a private message so hopefully that has come through to you.
I did think that perhaps Harriett had remarried but was not quite sure so never actually added it to my tree. Would that be to William Glue?

Hi Jeanette
Thanks for your reply. It's lovely to hear from someone researching the Treagus name.
I have Hannah's baptism as 1882. Her middle name was Helen.
You are right she married in 1909. I have a copy of the marriage certificate which shows Lily Rose Treagus and Arthur Frank Treagus as witnesses. And she did die in 1945. Her husband Walter Enos Fletcher died in 1930.
My investigations have come up with 8 children for George and Harriet. I think the one I have extra to you is Arthur Frank born in 1891.
I have been using the Sussex Family History baptism and death records they have online as much as I can but finding lots of people with the same first name!
It would be lovely to have a picture of Lily Rose. Do I put my email address on here it private message you it?
If you are ok with it I would love to know more details that you have on the other George's etc. I have been extending the family tree sideways as well as up so that I can make sure I have the right person in my upwards line (if that makes sense!).
If you would like to have any of my research etc that I have I am more than willing to share.
Thanks
Helen

Thanks Mike. That's really good advice
I am also hoping one day to be able to go and look at parish records but not sure when that day will be!

Perhaps I have my Georges mixed up? Will have to try and confirm which one is mine.
Thought a surname like Treagus would be easy!!!!

Family History Beginners Board / Odd census record
« on: Saturday 25 March 17 11:52 GMT (UK) »
After being fairly sure that I had confirmed that my 3 x great grandparents were William Treagus (1805) and Hannah Chandler (1810) I have just found an 1851 census record which throws everything into doubt.
First let me explan how I got there. My greath grandmother was Hannah Helen Treagus born 1882. I have copy of her marriage certficate, 1909, to Walter Enos Fletcher which shows her father as George Treagus (deceased).
With this information I found the 1891 census showing Hannah and her father George. The family were living in West Dean. Hannahs mother is shown as Harriett.
Household Members
George Treagus 54
Harriett Treagus 43
William Treagus 19
Robert Treagus 17
Charlotte Treagus 15
Thomas Treagus 13
Mary A Treagus 11
Hannah H Treagus 9
Lillie R Treagus 5
Using this family information I found them in 1881 as well.
I looked at the GRO index and could see the maiden name for Harriet was Warrington. So I found the marriage (hopefully the right one) between Geeorge Treagus and Harriette Warrington in 1870. This shows Georges father as William Treagus.
So using previous information from Georges cenus records, date and place of birth, I found and 1861 census which him (?) and father William.
Household Members
William Treagus 55
George Treagus 25
Anne Treagus 24

and the 1841 census record
Household Members:
William Treagus 35
Hannah Treagus 30
Ambrose Treagus 7
George Treagus 6
Ann Treagus 5
Susan Treagus 4
John Treagus 2
Now I have found this census for 1851 (Civil parish - West Dean ) which seems to match Geeorge and what I beleived to be his siblings but the parents age are way too high!!. Would a mistake with the age happen on a cenus in 1851 to this extent. Or is this another family.? Getting very confused.
Am worried that I have given William and Hannah too many children by combining the census records for lots of different people!

Finally one other thing that is bothering me. I thought that I had found the marriage between William and Hannah in 1833, and Hannah maiden name was Chandler. But when I am searching the GRO indexes for any other their children I cannot find birth records.
