Mary Alice Obey

[alllegs]

Hi,

I'm doing some research for my neighbour and I'm stuck!!

His great grandparents were Mary Alice Obey and Edgar Alexander Black.  I believe they married in Selhurst, Surrey on September 9th 1898.  I have found them on the 1901 census...

24 Rothesay Road, Parish of Croydon

Edgar A Black, 24, Head, straw-hat wearhouseman, born Brixton
Mary A Black, wife, 26, born Brixton
Leslie A G Black, son 1, born Norwood
Ruby A F Black, dau, 4 mths, born Norwood.

I have been unable to find anything more about Mary Alice Black nee Obey.

Any help in finding her parents and/or her on an earlier census would be greatly appreciated

TIA
Legs

Marriage J/A/S quarter 1898
Mary Alice Obey Croydon 2a 572

You could get cert to find her father's name plus her address at time of marriage

[lizdb]

Birth J/F/M quarter
1875
Mary Alice Obey Lambeth 1d 532

[lizdb]

Marriage o/N/D quarter 1872
George Charles Obey London C 1c 67

Looking at the census in 1881 when she is 8, it looks like her Dad is George C, so this looks like his marriage

Getting the cert would give you more details incl of course wife's name (hopefully Mary!)

[lizdb]

Birth J/F/M quarter 1848
George Charles Obey - Hackney 111 202

Get this cert and you will find his parents!!

Sorry, Allegs I am spending your money like water on all these certs!!!!
