I wonder if anyone would be kind enough to help me to find other records relating to a couple I am researching. The details I have are as follows:
I have a marriage certificate for Charles Harrison 21 years, Batchelor, a ships carpenter, father William Harrison, a Shipwright.
The bride is Ellen Griffield 19 years a spinster of no occupation. Father shown as George Griffield (deceased), a coach builder.
They were married in Middlesborough on 28th September 1896, both shown as living at 47 Davison Street, Middlesborough.
I had hoped that getting this certificate was going to give me a few leads, but I cannot find these people anywhere in the census records. (I did find one William Harrison, a shipwright, living in Kingston upon Hull in 1891, which raised my hopes, but he had no son called Charles, apparently). I recognise that Charles, although young, could have been a servant somewhere else, but he doesn't appear in earlier years either, when he would have been too young to be working.
In the 1911 census, I have found Ellen Harrison, shown as Head of the family, but married and no sign of her husband. All three children are there. That is the only positive record I can find.
If anyone can have a look at this one and see if they can find anything I can't, I'd be most grateful.
