help please - Elizabeth Sarah Montague 1886

[genuisscuffy]

I've been looking for awhile but my family tree is a bit difficult as I'm the only one left! (except a Grandfather with Alzheimers which can be really difficult!) - I'm looking for a  Great Grandmother Elizabeth Sarah Montague born 1886 Father - George Richard Montague, she married Bert Broughton in Portsmouth Reg Office on 28 Sept 1907 (his father was Fred Broughton) I have the marriage cert - how do I find her Birth Cert/Death date? Also my Grandmother was born 21 July 1920 (Joan Louisa Fielder) and am looking for her father George Fielder (he was living at 28 Wiltshire Street, Southsea at the time of her birth reg)  Many thanks I've come to a bit of a full stop with these until I can find out some facts - thanks

Hi - and welcome to Rootschat

I had a look at your question and thought - oh should be able to find Elizabeth in the 1891 or 1901 census with all that information, but no joy yet - can't see George Richard either,  nor can I see an obvious birth registration for her in England - is there any possibility she was born in another country? 

What was George Richards Occupation on the wedding certificate?

I don't think so - apparently she was very flighty and married several times!

[DebbieG]

Was Montague her maiden name - or a previous married name?

[genuisscuffy]

Her maiden name - it says she was a spinster and father George Richard Montague

I can't see them either.

[genuisscuffy]

It says she lived at 25 Cecil Place, Southsea and her Father was a skilled labourer Hm Dockyard (Portsmouth I assume as Southsea is very near )

I wonder if she is Bessie, aged 5, in the 1891 cesus?  Living with her widowed mother at 18 Napier Road, Portsea.
RG12/876 folio 30 page 10

I dont think so - she got married 28 Sept 1907 and it says she was 21 - so we are looking at 1886?
