Sorry if I've gone a bit much

Hi
What were the other details on the marriage certificate?  Occupations, witnesses, address etc.  They will all hold clues.   How old was she at marriage?  Have you found her with her husband on the 1891 and 1901 census?
Let us know as much as you can and I am sure someone will be able to help.

Should have said "Welcome" too!

Can you tell us her children too?   I have had a quick look at the census and there are a couple of possibles in 1891 and 1901.

Hello all I'm in shock to get so many replies so quick.On the marriage cert  Mary Janes dad was listed as a sailor and one of the witness's was her husbands brother Hodson.It gives her age as'FULL' whatever that means.
On the census front I  have her on the 1891 one & 1901 her children were twins George fearon &William  and another son Joseph (1901)
on the 1891 one there is a Maggie b1877as well as Joseph this is where I get a bit lost on the 1881 census mary jane fearon is the head and has a daughter Margaret b1877 just a coinciedence ( cant spell but you get the drift)
James & Mary Jane got married on Christmas day ,was this a regular thing?
 Thank you again for repling so quick,Susan

Welcome to Rootschat, Susan :)


Let's piece this together bit by bit.

FreeBMD shows that George Fearon IRVING was born Mar 1892 Cockermouth, Cumbria - I presume this must be the son you mention?

OK, so we've got the twins.  Now, can you remember where they were in 1901?  I'm struggling to find them as a family.
