I think I am noticing an error possibly. I could have the wrong census for 1861, therefore it is possible the 1867 wedding. I think the problem maybe with having too many Waltons in the same area.

That's one of the reasons where the Morton bit comes from, and I believe my cousin in NZ has a birth certificate which says Morton. The problem is I cannot find a marriage which fits... 1867 could be but seems to be 7 years or so too late.

Good idea with the birth certificates.

The son, Herbert Friedburg Janvrin Vincent, did end up in South Africa and there are some children which I now need to track down. He died in 1939.

Family History Beginners Board / Thomas WALTON

I am trying to confirm who my Great Great Grandfather married. I have searched all of the records and I know that he marries an Elizabeth based on the census returns. The Thomas Walton in 1881 is certainly correct, as he was a professor of music, which is confirmed by my great grandfather's marriage certificate. He was born about 1838 and was in the staffordshire/ wolverhampton/ west bromwich area. According to the 1881 he was married to Elizabeth, and I have one side of the family who think he married Elizabeth Morton/ Moreton. The problem I have is that a Thomas Walton did marry a Elizabeth Morton in 1867, but I don't think this is the one. I have got two marriage certificates, one for an Elizabeth Mor(e)ton and one for Elizabeth Brooks, but the more I look at them the more I think they are wrong.
The next stage I am at, and this is my question... could it be possible that Thomas Walton married an Elizabeth in 1859, which would fit, but on the marriage register it would list her as Sarah Elizabeth Walton. Normally, don't the registers have the maiden name? I have come across second names being used as their main name later in censuses so despite having Sarah as a listed name, it could well be the correct one. They refer to the same volume, and I have checked that the other two people on the same page did marry each other... therefore according to the marriage record... Thomas Walton married Sarah Elizabeth Walton.
I assume the only way of confirming is to order the certificate?

I have the links before and yes you are correct there is a Jersey link. However, this one generation of the family disappears after 1881 and I just want to tie-up death dates. There is some history of being a mariner in the family but this particular string there were quite a few reverends and so some went off for Missionary work.
I am sifting through passenger lists to try and see their comings and goings but not having much luck. I am guessing South Africa because the son ended up there and secondly it's going to be a country which does not have good online records at present.

Origins: England based. HJV born in Batley, Yorkshire and ACV born in London. I have searched all the usual UK records and post 1881 they disappear although there is a birth record for a child in 1882. Two of the children, Herbert Friedburg Janvrin Vincent and Frederick Augustus Janvrin Vincent end up with the grandfather in 1891 but no sign of the parents, and no sign of other child Harold.

There is a mystery with these two, my GG Grandparents, who disappear from the records. HJV was born in 1855 and ACV was born abt. 1854. One of their sons ends up in South Africa and dies in 1939, and that refers to his parents but does not mention if they settled. HJV had travelled and other parts of the family went to NZ, Aus and USA but I cannot find out when they died. No one in the family seems to know.
Boer War could be an option but does not explain why both disappear. South Africa could be an option as their records are not extensively online yet, and therefore hard to find.

Anyone help?

South Africa / Janvrin Vincent

If anyone has any information on any persons with the name Janvrin Vincent as part of their name, please get in touch. I have found a link from South Africa but that is about it at the moment.
