A few years age the people on this site helped me break down a brick wall for a friend. I am hoping for help again with the family.

Here is the link to the original post. I feel it may help

We have found out a few things since.
Harry Ryan & Edith May Neal finally married 26 May 1911 in the Roman Catholic Church in St. Heliers, Jersey.

Their children Daniel, and Ethel were presented at the service and granted legitimacy.

However, the marriage appears not to have lasted. Harry's WW1 file states he's married to Edith but her address is unknown. He lists Daniel and Ethel as children but also a son John 2 yrs old with guardian Mrs Cliff, 47? St. Katherines Rd?, Notting Hill.

This is crossed out so guessing not a legitimate child.

The family I'm trying to help would love to know who John aged 2 is. Did he have any children?
Have they a half family?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, but also realise we are getting into the "possible living" area.

We also have no idea what happened to Harry or Edith after 1911.

Here is WW1 record for those who have FindMyPast, can't find it on Ancestry.

Thank you in advance

I am hoping someone may be able to check the records of a Wattisham marriage for me, please?

Suffolk Marriage Index has a John Goff and Elizabeth Cooper marriage in Wattisham 01 Dec 1761.

This may be my couple, but if so they are about 25 miles away from where I expected them and 5 months after the death of John's first wife. Not impossible, I admit.

I'd be very interested in their marital status, and if any parishes or groom's occupation is mentioned.

Thank you

I posted this some years ago but asked the wrong questions in the wrong section, as I assumed it would be fairly straight forward. I was wrong.

Have been trying to help someone trace their grandparents with very little luck.

Details we have are:

01 June 1908 from birth cert.
Son Daniel Ryan born 37 Camelot St, Southwark to Harry Ryan Tramway Platelayer & Edith Formally O'Neil

1909 from on-line Electoral Register
Harry at same address

24 March 1910 from birth cert.
Daughter Ethel Ryan born 43 Tabard St, Southwark to Harry Ryan Tramway Platelayer & Edith Formally O'Neil

1911
Not found either by name or address search

20 Oct 1912
Both children admitted to St. Joseph's Convent Home.

The children ever knew why they were sent there or anything more of their parents. All the Convent records except dates of admissions and discharge dates are lost.

Any help or suggestions of where to research next would be greatfully appreciated, as I am stuck. Even a day at the LMA was of no help.

Thanks

Have been fighting a brick wall for ages with my Essex Marriage line.

Try putting 'Marriage' into a search engine. 

A recent discovery of a will, Francis Marriage 1702 shows the family were Quakers. I've never researched them before, so does anyone know how I can go about it, please?

 Visit to TNA would not be easy for me.

Thanks
