Herbert Raven

[Evie]

Thanks Catone

I did see that but as you said no children. I am trying my best to eliminate this Herbert but he seems so elusive. I tried looking for a marriage of Emma Beresford or Brown but none showing up for a Thomas. The only Emma Elizabeth to a Robert Thomas in 1887 was Emma Elizabeth Myring.

Thank you Evie and catone

for your input today , it all helps i can tell you .
I feel we are slowly closing in on this elusive Herbert Raven.
There is a Frank Beresford marring in 1884 VOL 7b PAGE 266 the same as Emma Elizabeth Raven I'm unsure if the fact that they share the same VOL and PAGE ?
 I will try and scan the witnesses on here shortly .
As soon as the birth certificate arrives i will let you all know

Is there any way you can scan the witnesses names from the marriage cert and put them on the thread for deciphering?

Witnesses are on this link

I'd say Arthur Samuel Salisbury (or possibly Salsbury) and Harriett Marriot

Thank you for your reply Nic.

We agree with your deduction. Arthurs name fits with Salsbury on birth and census.

Although at this stage I can see no connection with the witnesses and Herbert unless Luke knows different. Another idea down the drain
