Finally the wedding certificate has arrived.

The wedding was held at the Register Office, Haslingden, 1899

The brides father's name & occupation were both blank

The witnesses were the grooms brother and mother with no sign of the brides mother present.

The address given for bride and groom was 9 Back Carr Terrace, Rawtenstall

So unfortunately there's nothing on the certificate to help identify her father.


Can anyone spot Alice and her mother Elizabeth on the 1881 and 1891 census.

Thanks

That’s what we are trying to do.
Have you followed the other Elizabeth Musks for any information?

The main link at the moment is that you say Alice was born in Lord Street. Who was the informant? Was it Elizabeth herself?
We then have the 1880 baptism of Amelia Musk's child - address Lord Street.

There is then the sighting of a Kershaw child who may/not be of relevance.

Hopefully, Alice’s marriage certificate may have some useful information.


Elizabeth Musk herself was the informant, 3 weeks after the birth of her daughter, Alice.
Address given on birth certificate
Pickup Buildings
Lord Street
Rawtenstall

The marriage certificate has only been ordered several days ago so it may well be several weeks before I receive it.

Hello All,
Thank you all for your input. The problem is that there are several Elizabeth Musk's that married after the birth of Alice so knowing which one is Alice's mother, Elizabeth is unclear.

If I can discover where Elizabeth and Alice were between 1881 and 1901 then it may give a clue as to Elizabeth's age and place of birth.
Once again thanks to all for their input.
Regards

Hello All,
The Robert and Pamela Musk with daughters Amelia and Elizabeth looks promising.
Amelia had two children before she married Ambrose Price in 1887

In 1861 census Elizabeth is 6 yrs. and Amelia 4 yrs.
In 1871 census Elizabeth is still with the family 16 yrs. but no Amelia.
In 1881 census Amelia is back with the family with sons Frederick G. and Charles Musk.
In 1891 census Amelia and Ambrose living with her 2 children, her parents Robert and Pamela, and brother Walter.
No sign of Elizabeth since the 1871 census.
I’ll keep digging
Thanks

Hello,
The birth certificate has father name left blank and I've only just ordered the marriage certificate. She was born in Lord Street, Rawtenstall in Jan 1878.
The only clue could be her middle name Kershaw if it was the father's surname.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.
There are a number of Elizabeth Musk's in that area of Haslingden that married after 1878 and I have been trawling through the names as you have suggested, but nothing stands out at the moment.
Thanks

Hello All,
I am searching for information on Alice Kershaw Musk who was born in 1878 in Rawtenstall to mother, Elizabeth Musk.

In 1899 Alice married John Alfred Harwood. I can follow her through the 1901 census onwards to her death, however I cannot find her or her mother in the 1881 and 1891 census.

A fresh pair of eyes would be appreciated.
Kind regards
