Gloucestershire / Cheltenham marriage c1825
« on: Monday 03 March 08 01:51 GMT (UK) »
Hi
I have a Caroline Major, born Cheltenham about 1827. On her marriage cert (to John Jones in 1856, London) her father is Anthony Major, architect.
I have Caroline in 1841, with her brothers and sisters and an adult, Ann (age 40), who I assume is her mother. The only Anthony Major who fits the bill is at a different address (age 40) and a builder.
In 1851, Caroline is the head of house, with a brother and sister living with her. No sign of Anthony or Ann (there are references to deaths for an Anthony Major and also Ann Major between 1841 and 1851).
There is another Anthony Major in the area, but he is an Ag Lab on the census returns.
I would be grateful is someone could look in the parish records at Cheltenham for a marriage of Anthony Major, builder, in about 1825-6, and also maybe his birth record in about 1800. I found another Anthony Major in Piggotts marriage register who married in Cheltenham in 1790's, who may be his father.
Thanks, John
