KING married KING?!
« on: Friday 06 December 13 12:00 GMT (UK) »
I have just received the birth certificate of a Richard King, born 1839 in Tackley.

Based on census records, I had expected to see his parents stated as John King and Eliza *something* so I would then know her maiden name.

His mother is stated as "Eliza King formerly King" which has really confused me ???

Could it be a mistake by the registrar?

Were there any younger children born to this couple? The only way to be certain might be to buy one of their certificates, if it shows the same, then you will know that her maiden name was King.

Yes, there were other children. I think I will have to order a certificate for one of them too.

The problem being I can't find birth records for any of them to get the GRO reference :/

John KING married Eliza KING.  13 Oct 1828 @ Tackley.**

This seems very likely, seeing that Mildred KING appears to be born, c1828, according to the 1841 census.

Maybe Tackley PR's will hold more clues.

John KING c1805, from Kirtlington, Eliza KING c1811, from Tackley...........could be related going further back. ;)

According to OxFHS Kirtlington Pr's, John KING was baptised, 20 March 1803, to Charles & Eliz: KING.

Agreed :)

From experience of researching this family that doesn't really surprise me!
