Thanks everyone! Yes I'm thinking that they did not get married too

FreeBMD has a marriage for Gertrude:

March qtr 1893
Woodbridge Registration District     vol 4a, page 985

Butt/Brett Gertrude Elizabeth
< the only male on that page is >
Baker, George Porter

Please remember that the question on the 1911 census asks how many COMPLETE years the marriage has lasted ;D


Maybe they didn't actually get married?

London and Middlesex / Gertrude Butt/Francis
« on: Wednesday 16 May 18 02:24 BST (UK)  »
Hi  :)

I've been searching for a marriage record for a Gertrude Emily Butt born 1872 in Marlesford, Suffolk.

I have found her in the London Workhouse in 1892 I believe that Gertrude was an orphan raised by her grandmother for some of her childhood. She married Carl Franz/Francis around 1894 according to 1911 census. They lived in Hackney in 1901 and 1911 and had 5 children
Marie Gertrude 1894
Maud Alice 1896
May Victoria 1899
Charles 1907
Gertrude 1909

Carl Francis was a hairdresser from Bohemia. He had a few name changes going between Franz and Francis but according to family stories he was originally a Bosek.

I have been searching for their marriage record for a while and I am beginning to think that they weren't married. Its possible that they might have had a catholic marriage ceremony.

Any help finding their marriage or any other information about them is much appreciated as it has been a brick wall for me for a little while.

Thanks

Hi Rebbeca, Have a note off my uncle that says ' Maud Alice Francis born 20/12/1897 (Hackney London) Father:- Charles Bosec born 1861 Bohemia or Moravia. Changed name to Francis when he came to England between 1880-1890.
I need to get round to speaking to him to find out if he knows more, let me know if you want me get more and pass it on? :)

Hi Rebecca,
You state that Lachlan McLean (born 1714) in Inverchaolin is the son of John Ardfinaig McLean from the isle of Mull. How do you know that? Do you have seen any records or documents? There are about 30 family trees on ancestry.co.uk stating the same, but none shows a source, so I suspect, they have all copied from each other (as I did....). But isn't it strange that Lachlan staid in Inverchaolin, when is father lives on Mull? So if you have anything to convince me, I would be thankful!
Cheers Marion

I can confirm that to date there are no records that show John Ardfinaig McLean is the son of Lachlan McLean (born 1714). The Ancestry entries that show this should be disregarded. In addition, I was unable to find a Donald McLean b:1777 marrying a Christina Mcphee. I would love to see any evidence that shows this. There is a Donald McLean (b:1776) in Inverchaolain but he married a Jean McDonald in 1801 and died in Argyllshire. Probably a different person.
Ray

Hi, yes all the trees on ancestry are very confusing and I have wondered if they are wrong. It would be good to find out the real records for them!

Hi, thanks so much for that information :) I didn't have the probate record so that's a help. I still couldn't find a birth record for him though - thankyou for reading my old post and helping me out with the death info :)
