looking for Seymour ancestors

[tamworth]

Many thanks Jamjar and all for your replies. Claude John Seymour  was 24 at time of marriage, his father John Claude usual occupation   'engineer'.  Ethel May's surname is spelt "Stephens" on the marriage certificate.
It crossed my mind that they may not have been married but wouldn't their names would be on his birth certificate?

He was married in 1913 which puts his DOB at 1889. Claude John arrived in Australia about 1904.

Hi deeiluka just got your message. How do I access this information.

Tamworth, I've been searching FreeBMD
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

It is only an index, but there is no Claud(e) John Seymour or John Claud(e) Seymour born between 1880 and 1890 in any district. John Charles Seymour Jun Qtr 1887 is the only one I found.

If nothing else can be found for you, you may have to gamble on getting that birth certificate. , Names, ages and places of birth and spellings can vary so much from document to document.

What I meant was, you may not find a marriage certificate.

I would put a request on the 'census' board and find him on the 1891.

Well found, Marg!
So that eliminates that idea.

Claude is certainly well hidden.

Hi

I found this marriage, possible parents for John Charles Seymour

William Arthur Seymour to Emily STEVENS
April Qtr 1867
Reg Epping Essex
Vol 4a
Page 75

I am not sure if there is a connection, but this is the only Seymour /Steven marriage I have found, and as these are the parents of John Charles Seymour, the closest candidate we have for Claude John Seymour, I thought I would post this. also it may be a thought that when, Claude at the age of 14 went to Australia, he may have been a crew member aboard a ship, it seems a bit young to travel alone at that age.
