where do I go from here !!
« on: Saturday 01 August 09 16:03 BST (UK) »
I have 2 wedding certificates for my great gran, Elizabeth Cassidy
one from 1914 aged 26 (b1888) living in Acklington
one from 1957 aged 66 (b1891) living in Hebburn,

both give fathers name as John Cassidy - coal miner

so how do i find out her mothers name and where she came from,
because it feels like i can't prove anything else now and its giving me a headache !! ??? ??? ???

Hi

Could you please give the details from the 1914 certificate  ie Elizabeth's occupation - names of witnesses, where marriage took place. Does it give her full address or just the town?

Thanks
Rosie

Have you looked on the IGI.  There's one born 4th December 1888 at St Mary's, Sunderland. 

May I ask if you know for sure that she was born in 1888 as sometimes they lied about their age on their marriage certificates.  Just a thought.

The only one I can see on census records is this:

1891

John Cassidy 52 railway labourer born Ireland
Bridget Cassidy 44 wife born Ireland
Mary Cassidy 17 bakery worker born Sunderland
Bridget Cassidy 15 born Sunderland
Patrick Cassidy 11 born Sunderland
Ann Cassidy 8 born Sunderland
Julia Cassidy 6 born Sunderland
Elizabeth Cassidy 2 born Sunderland

At 14 Society Lane Monkwearmouth Shore Sunderland
RG12/4149/94/24

Looks like the same one Busybod found.

The family are still there in Monkwearmouth in 1901, but the've moved to a different address. John is still a labourer on the railways.

Anne
Halifax/Huddersfield area West Yorkshire
Monmouthshire, Gloucestershire, Berkshire and nearby areas.
Bilcliffe one name study all areas.

Do you know what age it says on her death certificate? If you know when she died we might be able to find her - what was her name at time of death? This might narrow her birth date down a bit.

I don't suppose any other Cassidy's witnessed her second marriage?
