Murray Marriages

[Betty.W]

Please could anyone confirm that the marriages that I have found for three of the Murray family are the correct ones. - these are :-
Martha E Murray to George E Harris 1916 in Shoreditch
Rose E Murray to George Evans 1921 also in Shoreditch
May V Murray to Frederick Messer 1923 in Shoreditch

Their Father was George Murray occupation French Polisher   (hopefully)

1916 marriage - Father confirmed as George Edward Murray occ French polisher

1921 marriage father George Thomas Murray occ french polisher

[Betty.W]

Thank you very much for that. Does that mean that May Murray's father was not confirmed?

[CaroleW]

Thank you very much for that. Does that mean that May Murray's father was not confirmed?

No - I was still looking as she is shown as Mary (not May) Violet so found it under Messer.  Father was George Thomas occ french polisher

Do you want full details of all 3 marriages?

EDIT - Mary is a transcription error - she signed the register as May

Just looked again and I am a bit confused as Rose Ellen and May Violet appear to have different parents to Martha. Surely there can't be two families with father George and Rose Ellen/ or Ellen as she was on a census and May, I notice that the witnesses on on both of these marriages are the same. Have I got the wrong marriages for these two. (on the censuses they are sisters.)

[CaroleW]

That’s why I made the point on the entry for Martha that her marriage cert shows him as George Edward

What is odder - he married Ellen McDonald in 1894 as a bachelor - no mention of a middle name on the marriage cert or on any census entry.  If you look at the 1901 entry - the eldest child was b 1884.

1901 - all b Shoreditch unless shown otherwise
