Where to look for a baptism record for 1918-1919

[anne_p]

Joseph and Eliza were living at East London Street, Edinburgh when they married in May 1922.
Joseph was living at 10 Wilfrid Street, Edinburgh when he married Agnes 4months later.
In Jun 1923 his address was given as 29a Howe Street, Edinburgh

Hi Annie,

Ah thanks but I've got the newpaper clipping already and some of the court papers, it's all a very complicated mess, I think Joseph was a bit of the stereotypical view of commercial travellers in having different families in different places. He'd basically had an irregular marriage with Eliza Quinn which he should have taken to the Sheriff to get legalised within 3 months but didn't, then married Agnes a few months later only to have the first one legalised by the court... And in the court papers Eliza said she given birth to twins... I've not found any record of them yet either.

I've found no records of any divorces yet from Eliza... But he and Agnes must have stayed together after this because Geoffrey's younger brother was born nearly 10 years later after all this marriage confusion. It was only when the youngest son was a toddler that they split up.

I don't think Geoffrey can be Joseph's son but I so far have not found any likely candidates with other surnames who could be him either....

Thank you for trying to help...I have appreciated it, I do wonder if he just might not have been registered for whatever reason. Vicky

Vicky, given the period of time we are talking about, v. likely he was registered. More a question under what name...and where. I think probably it may be down to the name he was registered under.
