Devon Lookup Requests / Re: Melhuish/Harris marriage devon 1906
« on: Wednesday 08 May 13 14:10 BST (UK)  »
Quote from: suzard on Tuesday 07 May 13 10:14 BST (UK)

William Nelson Melhuish and Minnie Harris had a daughter Mary bbirth reg Mar qtr 1907 Tiverton 5b 383 and a son Leonard Barnes Melhuish b.c.1909 Tiverton

The birth reg's for Beatrice C and Wm Robert both give Harris as Mother's maiden name (seems quite an age gap from Mary and leonard???)

There is a death reg for Minnie Harris 1924 Exeter -if this is the correct Minnie?

There is also a Christina  b 1923 whose mother's maiden name is Harris

So it really is a puzzle??

There is also a marriage Thomas Melluish and Ethel K harris 1922

Hi Suz

The info you posted above I have also and seems to be correct except for the one for Christina b 1923, I haven't managed to confirm her relationship atm.

The marriage of Thomas and Ethel in 1922 well again it could be the right line or not  :-\

I agree the large gap in the births of the children to Nelson and Minnie does appear a little odd but it happens in our times so I suppose it could have then?

Now I have added Leonard Barnes and Mary to the family they seem to disappear after the 1911 census, unless I have missed something.

Thanks for the help it's still not sorted really, so back to checking and try to persuade my friend to pay for some certs, that should help a lot.

Devon Lookup Requests / Melhuish/Harris marriage devon 1906
« on: Tuesday 07 May 13 09:16 BST (UK)  »
Hi folks

I am trying to check if I have the right info for this marriage for a friend's tree that I am doing.

I have     William Nelson MELHUISH was born Q2 1886, Tiverton, Devon married  Minnie HARRIS Q2 1906, Crediton, Devon.
Minnie was born Q3 1878, Crediton, Devon; died Q3 1924, Exeter, Devon. They had 2 children,  Beatrice C MELHUISH  born Q2 1922, Paddington, London, and William Robert MELHUISH  born Q3 1924, Paddington, London.

William Nelson MELHUISH then married again in Q1 1928,Holborn, London to Martha VANSTONE.

There is a bit of confusion re the birth of the son William Robert and the death of Minnie Melhuish (HARRIS). Apparently William R never spoke of the Harris connection to his family, it could be that he was never told who his 'real' mother was or just didn't want to talk about a mum that he never knew.

That facts that I need to be clear about are the Marriage of William N to Minnie and any parish records info I can get including baptisms. I will be gratefull for any help that will confirm or amend what I have atm.

Thanks John

Hi there, just to complicate matters further, not all church 'burial' entries actually mean 'Buried in this church yard'. What I have found myself is that on many cases it was only a 'Burial Service' that was held at the church, with the deceased then being buried in the town cemetary or cremated in more recent times.

I have the burial records for Gravesend Cemetary and have found quite a few of my own records were infact 'wrong'. I at first had recorded the church burial details as just that then found all the details in the cemetary index and register later.

If you contact the possible cemetary I'm sure they can help.

Hi I've just found your post. Beware of assuming that a person was buried at a church just because there is a burial entry for them in the church records. I tended to believe these too but I have found that a lot of my ancestors were actually buried at the Gravesend Cemetary, not at various churches although it would be that the funeral service was held at the church before hand.

I have found a James (Wickens ?) Barrett buried in the cemetary 9 Feb 1894, he was 9 years old at the time and he had lived in Bentley Street.
He was removed from Milton to the cemetary and was buried in a Common Grave 3209 in consecrated ground.

There is also a Lily May Bassett buried on 26 Nov the same year aged 21 months with an address of Augustine Rod, (the road where I lived and grew up btw. ).
She was also removed from Milton and was buried in consecrated ground in a Common Grave no. 3361.

Hope this is of use to you.

John

Nothing on Cityarc for St. Georges Church either.

Holy Trinity and Christ Church burial are not on CA.

Have you got an address for them? also if you have found Baptisms that might give a clue?
