Evelyn FARRANT 1846

[Carole Bloomfield]

I am trying to find the birth record of my G.Grandmother, Evelyn Farrant.

She married William Gibbs butn I don't know when.

According to the 1881 census she was born at Knackers Knowle Devon, her age being 35 on the census would make her DOB c1846. I don't think this place exists any more, but I couldn't be sure.

I would love to know if she had any siblings but without this record I am stuck. Can anyone help me please, I would be more than greatful
Regards
Carole

Sorry I forgot to mention she married William Gibb but I don't know when. 

They had 14 children the eldest was born in 1867 so maybe they were married c 1866

Hi,

This could be them (found on FreeBMD):


Marriages:

Evelyn Farrant   SepQ  1866   Greenwich  1d  1122

Possible spouse:  Williams Gibbs

A copy of the cert should show the name and occupation of her father which might help to find her on the census.

Hi Roycar,

According to Genuki, part of Knackers Knowle was incorporated into Egg Buckland.

Thankyou Jan
I did post another message when I realised I had left off the marriage. She did marry William Gibb but I hadn't a record of it. You look as though you have found it. I am very greatful

And thank you Bob I will investigate further.

This appears to be  the marriage

Marriages Sep 1866

 Evelyn Farrant     Greenwich    1d   1122    
 William T   GIBBS      Greenwich    1d   1122

Greenwich seems odd though

Hi Carole

Do you know her parents or is that what your after? (her birth cert would confirm this)

Not qute sure where you want to go from here, so will await a reply so as not to repeat things you already have

Hi Judi
Thanks for your interest. The marriage is correct. They moved about, probably because he was a soldier. There eldest children were born in Burma. I don't know if he was a soldier when they were married.
It is Evelyn I need info on. I will send for her birth certificate hoping the info you gave me is the right one, but it certainly looks that way.
I would like to trace her family back if possible.
It might be a good idea for me to send for the wedding cert as well.
Thanks again
Regards
Carole
