Laura Barrett or Barratt

[Agatha R]

I use Genes Reunited, I wanted to find Laura in the 1891 census but I cannot find her anywhere, Thankyou for all your help

[Agatha R]

I sent for Laura's Marriage certificate and her dad is Frank Barratt who was deceased in 1905 when she married Harry Fountain, I still cannot find her on the census

Hello Agatha,

well that just adds to the mystery. All things (to date) have pointed to the daughter of Alfred and Lucy.

Who are the witnesses on the marriage certificate? Do you have the second certificate- wondering if she gives the same details re father.

Laura's Husbands family are the witnesses at the marriage.
I will have to send for her second marriage certificate now.
Do you think she is lying or trying to hide something?

From various marriages on here (and at least one in my own family) you wonder how important -or  not- it was to give a father's name. Some people seem to just make one up.
The only thing I would say is that there are these births:

June 1885  Laura Barrett St. Faith's    4b   93    

June 1886  Laura May Barrett     St. Faith's 4b   97    

One seems to belong to Alfred and Lucy but who is the other one?
