I too am looking for a Gun maker/ Gunsmith by the name of John Robins.

His son was my great great grandfather and I have got Johns details from james wedding certificate. James was living in Poplar at the time of his marriage in 1891, and was born in either Whitechapel/ Spitalfields or Bethnal Green in 1862 (circa).

John was not detailed as deceased on the wedding certificate.

I am trawling Ancestry as we speak, but could do with some help!

I have found a marriage on FreeBMD for Priscilla Jermyn at Stepney 1c 673 in March qtr of 1882.

On this page there are 3 females but only two males.

Is there anyway without applying for her crtificate that I can make sure this is the correct marriage...if it is her husband would have been James Robbins

If anybody is visiting the relevant records office for Canwick, could I request a look up.

I cannot ascertain who the mother of William Blissett was. She does not appear on any census records with her son and husband (who is still listed as married, rather than widowed.)

I have found Williams baptism on familysearch as 13/3/1853 at Canwick and mother is Mary, father also William Blissett. I cannot find the marriage.

Hoping baptism may shed some light.

Many thanks in anticipation.

Does anybody have any knowledge of the Purdy family of St Faiths in Norwich.

My Harriet Purdy was daughter to Sarah Purdy, and we cannot establish if her father was william Purdy or James Purdy as his name seems to change to William in the 1871 Census at Deptford where he was a fishmonger.

Both William/James and Sarah were born in St Faiths in this and other census returns, but he does give Ely as place of birth in 1861!!
