Missing Marriage Partner

[Mike Thw]

In Q3, 1895, a Lilla Annie Hicks married in Falmouth (Vol 5c, page 1258).

Unfortunately, "Ancestry" does not give any marriage partner(s) (Again!! I'm not having the best of luck lately).

Can anybody help, please?

Hi

That reference isn't right (although it is correctly transcribed from the typed GRO index). Page numbers for Falmouth are in the 200s rather than the 1200s

I wonder whether in fact it should be 5c 258.  FreeBMD has two grooms and a bride under that reference for that quarter:

Marriages Sep qtr 1895   

MITCHELL Walter George   
NORRIS Henry Richard G     
WILLIAMS Jane 

all Falmouth 5c 258

I wonder whether Lilla is the missing bride?

Walter George Mitchell, I think is your man. I found a Lilla A Mitchell age 30 born Falmouth on the 1901 census.

...and indeed Walter G and Lilla A MITCHELL (the latter born Falmouth) are together in Islington in 1901 with two young sons:

Well done Anna - I never suspected the extra nought.  I looked on earlier/later numbered pages and wondered why I got the wrong town.  the next thing is to check the census for those men and discount the one who had Jane as a wife.

I think Anna is correct as there is a household in the 1901 census at 164 Highbury Hill, Islington:

Walter G Mitchell 30  Sorter GPO b Clapton
Lilla A Mitchell 30  b Falmouth
George A Mitchell 2  b Islington
Stanley R Mitchell 1  b Islington

Ref is RG13  200 f 130

Congratulations to everyone for going the extra mile whllst I was still in the slow lane typing out my first reply

So, what we have here then is a typing error on the actual GRO Register.
