Missing surname and other complications!

She's rather young to have got married in 1899   or is that just an example to show the Swissness of Forney?

I also think Louise/a Forney (probably not in this country in 91, at least I can't find her) is likely to be the right one and Lousie Neat is the better bet for the London couple.
Any info on One World Tree needs treating with caution in my view.

Cheers Jan

You are right Jan!    silly me?

There is a shortage of Louis(a)s that fit the bill - maybe they brought in a cousin?  It wouldn't have been illegal to marry at that age, but v unlikely as you say.

Where does the age come from?  If the home got that wrong, is there any other confirmation?

[janan]

She's 22 in 1901, consistent with age at death.

Changing the subject, Jan, where are your Farrs from in Beds? I've got a load in Clifton/Old Warden and Clophill

Hi David
They're from Luton and just outside, although possibly originally from Harpenden area but haven't followed that through. Got Clophill connections only via marriages.

And Louisa Forney is still at home in 1901 too

And still the information comes! What a great bunch of people. While we are on the subject, if anyone here is from Bedford...do you know where the records office is that I have to apply to for BMD's please. I have tried a search and come up with County Hall Archives, Central Library Harper st, and the old Pilgrim School in Brickhill Drive. Any clues please? Ian
