Lancashire / Re: Emily Wheeler
« on: Friday 31 October 08 12:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi.  Sorry I wasn't a bit clearer.  Yes I know it doesn't show where someone is born on the marriage certificate, as we do have the certificate.  I'm pretty sure however that Charles Young married Emily just in case he died in the war as she would have been left destitute with the children, having no claim as she wouldn't have been married.  No she wasn't a widow, she was shown as spinster on the cert.  And on my father's birth certificate she is shown as Emily Young, formerly, Wheeler, although I'm sure they werern't married at that time even though there were nine children in all.  I think it's possible Emily may have had children before she met Charles, but have no way of finding out.  I know they separated when he came back from the army, as Charles brought my father and two of his siblings to Salford in Lancashire in the 1920s.  I don't know the names of any of the others apart from my two Aunts, Joanna and Ellen, who came to Salford with him.  We can also find no record of Joanna's birth although we know when she was born.  It is possible that the other children weren't Charles' children, but we don't know.  My father's twin sister Dorothy died in the same year she was born, just a few weeks or months old.  They were born 29 July 1909 at 38 Avon Street, Walcot, Bath, Somerset.  Really sorry for the confusion.  Thanks though for getting back to me. 
Regards
Mary

Hi

Sorry - UK marriage certs do not contain any info as to where a person was born

Quote
We know from this certificate that Charles was born in Liverpool


How do you know?

I'm a bit puzzled about the dates you give above.  You say they married in 1914 but that the twins were born in 1909?  Were they Emily's children from a previous marriage or illegitimate?

How old was Emily on the marriage cert and what was her fathers name.  Is she shown as a widow?

Lancashire / Emily Wheeler
« on: Friday 31 October 08 00:34 GMT (UK)  »
Is there any way of finding out where someone was born from details on a marriage certificate?  I'm trying to find where my paternal grandmother came from.  We have a marriage certificate that we're sure is my grandparents, namely Charles Young and Emily Wheeler.  They were married at Liverpool Register Office on 27 September 1914.  I know my late father(one of twins) was born in Bath in 1909, but am not sure if Emily came from there or thereabouts.  We know from this certificate that Charles was born in Liverpool and that he was a private in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers(occupation, Slater), but nothing about Emily except that she married him.  We have this Charles' war record, but nothing about his family is on it.  My father would have been 5 years old, and he had sisters, but none of this is on his army record.  We've hit a brick wall with my dad's side of the family and it's not even that far back.  Hope someone can help.  Thanks

Lancashire / liverpool electoral roll
« on: Thursday 30 October 08 23:43 GMT (UK)  »
Is it possible to look up the electoral roll for 21 Holly Street in 1914?  This is the address I have for my paternal grandparents in the year they married.
Hope someone can help?  Thanks in advance.
