HELP PLEASE with Clement Long Wisbech

[Long_haul]

Can anyone make the connection with CLEMENT LONG born WISBECH approx 1868 and an ETHEL MAY HEAD OR WELLS( area and birth unknown) ?

I believe Clement and Ethel to have been married  - cannot find marriage.

Any suggestions  will be gratefully received

[MaryA]

There is a marriage for Clement Long June qtr 1891 Wisbech 3b 964.

There is only one female name transcribed which means that either one is not yet transcribed or the number has been transcribed incorrectly.

If you really wanted to take a chance the GRO would issue you the certificate with the above information and then you can see who he married.

There are two Clement Long's born Emneth, Norfolk one approximately 1868 to John and Julia and living in Wisbech in 1871, the other born approximately 1870 to Henry and Hannah.

The first one isn't with his family in the 1891 census but the second one is still at home with father Henry and siblings, so presumably the first one is the one you are interested in.
 
Can you tell us more about Ethel May Head/Wells?  Presumably you haven't found her in a census but where have you got her name from?

Hi Long Haul

Only marriage that I can find is on the Camdex online

Clement Long to an Elizabeth Bouch 1891 , Fenland district, which might be the one Mary A is talking about. But you could do what Mary says and take a chance with the GRO

 THANKYOU !!!!! This just may be the breakthrough I need.

I believe Ethel to have  been an Inn keeper and Clement was
also known as Jimmy the Whip.

Hi  Ricky1
 
Oops still getting used to the site - Thankyou for the marriage details.

FOR: MaryA:  Ethel Head/Wells were names mentioned by family Elders

Long_haul,

You'd best chat some more with the Elders and see if they can come up with some sort of date, maybe she was a second marriage.

Nice one Ricky, I tried various searches for Clem* etc. but blast I was checking Norfolk instead of Cambridge!!
