London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / Re: John Wise Merritt Marriage

I've just looked through the St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, marriages for that time period.   

No John Wise Merritt.  But on 3rd November 1835 there was a Thomas Merritt marrying a Charlotte Lace.   Maybe the person with the tree got confused with their Merritts.

Thank you yes this is a possibility hence why I want to find proof for myself.

Thank you all did not realise the GRO would now search with a mothers maiden name for births for before 1912 it's been a while since I used it.

Yes this is the family. I am being particularly thick today but I cannot find the birth of Eliza giving MMN as Elston either can someone please put me out of my misery where is this record. You would have though after 20 years of doing this I wouldn't have a problem, maybe I have just been staring too long at it today.

London & Middlesex Lookup Requests / John Wise Merritt Marriage
« on: Monday 06 November 17 15:26 GMT (UK)  »
I am looking for the marriage of a John Wise Merritt. I have been given a date of 3rd November 1835 to an Ann Caroline Elston in St Leonards Shoreditch but the person concerned cannot confirm where they got this information from so I am reluctant to use it. I've searched and searched but cannot find anything for this. On the census her name appears as Caroline again have searched with this option and variations of Merritt and cannot find anything. Any help appreciated.

Antrim / Re: Josephine Haveron (Larne)
« on: Monday 13 March 17 16:07 GMT (UK)  »
I am now really confused about the parents of my friends Josephine Haveron born about 1922 Larne. My friend had always assumed her grandmothers name was Christine and the father possibly Joe but remembers a William being mentioned.From the little her mother said about the family. I can find nothing on Josephine with these details. Is this possibly because one was catholic and the other not this she knows to be true. Josephine's grandparents were definitely Patrick and Sarah Haveron as my friend  remembers being told her grandmother Sarah died on the beach. She also remembers Glynne road and also visiting Ella Bowen.She believes Josephine's mother died shortly after she was born and was brought up by Patrick and Sarah. Josephine placed a notice in the Larne times after the death of her grandfather  giving the names Josie & Leonard of Essex which is correct. I just need to find who was the actual parents of Josephine were but keep drawing blanks. I can find no birth or baptism for Josephine . Is it possible that Josephine was illegitimate and therefore possibly the child of one of the other daughters  and the names Christine and Joe are fictitious?

I am looking for a Josephine Haveron born Larne about 1922. Her mother was Christine who died when Josephine was born. Her father was called Joe and he worked at the weaving factory. Josephine had a aunt Ellie/Ella who had 13 children, two died. The youngest was called Jacqueline, there was an Adam, Bernard and Jack. Ellie/Ella married a Jack Bone/Bowen(not sure if that is spelt correctly) Josephine also had an aunt Josephine who died when young. She may be related to this  Josephine. Her grandmother was called Sarah who brought her up. Sarah was found dead on the beach in Larne.
