Hello,
my gg grandmothers 3rd cousin Charles Henry Darby married Patience Collins on 8th February 1910 at The Church of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart,Clarence Rd,Herne Bay,Kent.
Patiences father on the marriage cert shows his name as Joseph Collins(deceased),no profession shown.Charles father John Joseph Darby,general hawker.
On Patience birth certificate,she was born 22nd June 1892,King St,St Alphage,Canterbury.Name of father on this certificate is Job Light,general hawker.
Name of mother is Elizabeth Betsy Light formally Collins.
Does this mean that Joseph Collins is Job Light,and for some reason Patience has changed it on the marriage cert?
Im trying to find Patience with her family on the 1901 so i can establish who her parents were,but can find no trace of her.She was born 1892,and is on the 1911 married to Charles:
C H Darby born 1885 Ramsgate
P Darby born 1892 Canterbury.
Class RG14 Piece4354 Schedule 31.
Without the 1901,i cant link Patience to parents,and can only speculate.There is this stong contender for Elizabeth:
1881
James Collins born 1846 Red Hill,Surrey hawker
Louisa born 1852 Sandwich.
ELIZABETH born 1870 Folkstone.
she has a sister Patience born 1881 Canterbury,which adds weight.
at 9 Groves Lane Lodging House,Canterbury.
Class RG11 Piece960 Folio51 p11.
Herne Bay,where Patience settled with Charles,is 7 miles north of Canterbury.
There is also a Job Light born 1869 Bognor,Sussex on 1881,living in Tonbridge,which is 34 miles from Canterbury,as the crow flies.
Please can anyone find anything on the 1901 that links Patience to her parents.
Many thanks,
Nel.
