Hi,

I am confused and stuck on this couple on my tree. I have ordered the marriage certificate, but it hasn't come yet. William Anderson married Alice Maud Howell in Poplar in 4th quarter 1914. They had the following four children: Joseph William b 1916, Christina Elizabeth b 1918, Francis Peter b 1921 and Stanley born 1924. All the births are registered in Poplar. However for the births of three of the children Alice's maiden name is Lee and for the birth of Christina it's Howell. I presumed that Alice Maud had been born Lee and had a previous husband Howell, but I have been unable to find a marriage for that.

On the children's' baptisms, William is listed as a shipwright.

On the 1939 census Alice is a widow and is with her three youngest children still in Poplar. Her birthdate is given as 24th Oct 1880. I know these can sometimes be a year of so out, but I'm sticking with that for now. I have four a possible death for Alice in Poplar on 1965.

I have been unable to find any information about William and I am really confused about who Alice Maud actually is  - Lee or Howell.

If anyone has access to records in Poplar could look this up for me, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

A member of my Miner family Ann Miner married George Morrall in 1826 at All Saints in Wellington. They had children and most of the family including them moved to Hunslet in the 1870’s. Two of their children Hannah Maria and George didn’t move and I can’t find either of them after the 1841 census. I am presuming they died, but I can’t find death records either. Any help with this would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I'm a bit lost trying to find this couple. On the 1911 census they are together in Putney with their 4 children - Ronald, Reginald and twins James and Charles. They had been married for 11 years according to the census. Alice then marries Frederick G Mandry in 1913 also in Wandsworth and goes on to have 2 more children Francis and Margaret Lilian. She dies in 1930. Alice was shown on the 1911 census to have been born in Walsingham, Norfolk.

I am struggling to find a birth for Alice, her on the census before her marriage and indeed her marriage record to Frederick Harris.

Any help with this would be really appreciated.

My relative Clara Clark born 1849 married William Askin in 1868. William died in 1890 and she married Joseph Smith at St Peter Hunslet Moor in 1900. I then can't find any trace of her or Joseph after this. If anyone can look them up for me and find something I would be really grateful thanks!

This is a long shot, but I'm asking anyway in case anyone can help me.

In my tree I have a Mary Ann Morrell. She was born in 1827 in Lawley Shropshire to George Morrell and Ann nee Miner. In 1848 she has a son Joseph Morrell in Oldbury Worcestershire. I haven't been able to find his birth registration. I did purchase his marriage certificate and his father is named as John Taylor a Miner. Mary Ann Morrell married John Taylor a Miner on 6th October 1851 at the Parish Church in Oldbury Worcestershire. They are both of full age and his father is named as Samuel (I think it reads Samuel) Taylor a clerk. Mary Ann is a spinster and John is a widower. I got this information from their marriage certificate.

Mary Ann remarries Isaac Onions on 22nd February 1857 in Wellington Shropshire. She is a widow so John has died between 1851 and 1857.

I am struggling to find anything else about John. It's a common name. If anyone can help me to find him before his marriage in 1851 and his death, I would be really appreciative.

Thanks
