Finding date of birth
« on: Tuesday 15 February 22 10:11 GMT (UK) »
We have two people both with the same name but different parents we are trying to find their date of birth,so we can establish which one married in 1887 we have their birth certificates,They were both born in Norfolk in 1860's  and one married in London 1887 if we can find any records between 1881 and 1915 with DOB, so if anyone can help us solve this.

You have a marriage certificate, 1887?

Can you please list all the information on the document.

Welcome to Rootschat John  :D

As Wivenhoe has mentioned details from the 1887 marriage certificate would be helpful.  You give no names or exact places of birth in Norfolk.

With those details we should be able to help you pinpoint who is who.
Ashford: Somerset, London
England: Devon, London, New Zealand
Holdway: Wiltshire
Hooper: Bristol, Somerset
Knowling: Devon, London
Southcott: Devon, China
Strong: Wiltshire
Watson: Cambridgeshire
White: Bristol
Windo - Gloucestershire, Somerset, Wiltshire

We know who he is but not his date of birth, we have  birth certificates for both and marriage certificate for the one who married but trying to find which one it was.
my  brother inlaw believes it's Swaffham .
George William Bulling born december 1863 mother Eliza no father Swaffham
the other George Bullen born 21 august 1865 father John mother Mary Lavington Thornage Norfolk
Married 23 oct 1887 Battersea to Sarah Pemberton father of George is John Bullen engine driver.
In 1891 census Totteridge road Battersea place of birth Swaffham.
My brotherinlaw is convinced this is george wiliam mother Eliza, making up John as father on marriage certificate to save face having no father ,I think otherwise but can't convince him

The father's name and occupation match the 1881 census and his sister Harriet is a witness.

The other George, son of Eliza, is with his uncle and aunt John and Phoebe HUNTER (nee BULLEN) in 1871, and then with their son (his cousin) Edward and his family in 1881 and he is a bricklayer.
