1891 census
« on: Monday 05 February 24 08:19 GMT (UK) »
On 31st March 1891 Edward Brooks, a corporal of Chatham Barracks age 28, born Cheltenham, was given leave to marry Fanny Maud Mary Adcock 27 of Plantation Road in Oxford (father James a waiter).  Their first daughter was born on 29th December 1891 in Headington.  Edward was 'at home' in this country from before the marriage until discharged in 1903.

Can anyone see them in 1891 census? They are not with her widowed mother and family. I thought they might be on the seas but there is definitely no indication that he travelled abroad again.

Thanks

The marriage is announced in the newspaper, I  only have free search
Oxfordshire Weekly News 8 April 1891
The other couple from the index seem to have married on the 30th.

Edward and Fanny married on Monday, 30th March - sorry I do not know why I wrote 31st - for which he had obtained official leave.  His records state that he stayed in this country and did not travel abroad thereafter.  Census day was the following Sunday so I would guess that they would be back in barracks, or close to, by that date.

Yes, I agree. I even went through pages and pages of some of the Barracks on Ancestry and FindMyPast just in case something was a horrible scribble but nothing likely.
