Help to find Marriage please
« on: Tuesday 07 December 10 10:29 GMT (UK) »
 I`ve been searching  in England and Wales with no luck for a marriage.
1891 census has
Adress Main Street, Albert Square, Cambuslang
John Dukes   Duckers age 34  estimated birth year 1857 born England
Boarder, occupation Steel worker.

1901 Wales census has
John Duckers 44  Boiler maker  b Nantwich
Lily wife 24 b Sheffield.

1911 has their first child as born Wrexham in 1894. They have been married 19 years = c 1892
John is a boiler riveter.

I`m  sure this is the same John in Scotland, could Lily have been there with her family, if her father was  also a steel worker.
 Can anyone see if there` s a marriage in Scotland for this couple John and Lily. On all the baptisms I found there is no maiden name which doesn`t help  ???

Is Lily's age correct as she would have been very young in 1892

Thanks, I don`t think it is the Chester marriage, he`s only ever used John, or sometimes John William.
First child baptised in Gwersyllt. 1894 Nov 25.  John William son of John & Lily Duckers
Their last child was born in 1910.
I can`t find a death for `Lily` to check her age, she may have remarried. The problem is , what`s her real name.
Deaths Dec 1930   
Duckers  John W  73  Wrexham.
