help finding someone in the census

[Tati]

I do think the Johnson family I found earlier are very likely candidates (but I agree it's not evident to accept  ) 
 
If you order the marriage cert and Sarah's dad was Thomas Cook a cab driver then I'd say it would clinch it...

great idea,  thank so much,  i will order the cert and let you know what it says!!

watch this space.................

i can't seem to find the marrriage of sarah cook and alfred johnson in about 1867.  can anyone see it so i can order the cert?

[Tati]

The marriage is Sarah Cook - Alfred Tomkins (I still suspect the Johnson name in 1871 is just a mistake)

June 1868
Kensington 1a 89
Sarah Cook - Alfred Tomkins

thank you
thank you
thank you   

how do you find these things so quickly!  i have only just subscribed to ancestry and am just learning how to use it!!

Lucky you! Have fun! And be aware that all fields are searchable as well as optional

I am waiting for Alfred Tompkins and Sarah cooks's marriage cert,

assuming these are the correct people i want to find the marriage cert of thomas cook and sarah (?) who are living next door.  i have found 24 thomas cooks marrying a sarah in the years 1849 - 51.

i have eliminated many as i am assuming i am still looking in middlesex area.  how do i know which one it will be even if i were to order the certificates?

The best way to do it would be to order the birth cert for one of their children (providing you can identify them). Birth cert will give you mother's maiden name and from there you can search for the marriage.

I can't identify the family in 1851

BINGO!!

i have alfred and sarah"s marriage cert, and guess what - her father is thomas cook and he is a cab man!!

thank you so much, i would not have found this on my own

sara!!


will endeavour to keep going on and on...... and on!
