Confusing Marriage Certificate

[softly softly]

Wondering if Fred Fordham went their own ways between 1877-1881.

1881 census ref
RG11/3073/28 p 20

Also is Kate the Kate Harvey mentioned in attached article.

Great to find Alfred John Cayton - hadn't thought to look at that spelling .

Will apply for both his marriage certificates and hopefully gain details of his father.

Think he might be playing fast and loose with his birthplace... Middlesex, Jersey or Chile !!

Still hope to find more info on Alice (Janet) Cayton - will look into attaching details of marriage cert
bearing father's surname to see if anyone can decipher it.

In the meantime, cant thank you all enough.

I do not think he played fast and loose with birthplace, bear in mind he did not have a say in 1881/91 as to where he was born or how his surname should be recorded. From 1901 he knew his surname and pob and was consistant with it,

It must be me and an age thing. What we have established is who Arthur was, birth, marriages and death. Who his mother was -- Alice Janet  but not the 1877 Alice Janet marriage. Alice was so consistant with Romford as pob. Is that other's thinking.

Don't think that  'my' Alice Betts was the Alice Janet Measor who had married Charles May in September, 1877.
She married Charles Betts two years later on 3rd September, 1879. She refers to herself as a Widow with the name Caton (not May) on her marriage certificate  and her pob is consistently Romford.

I think the maiden name Alice Janet Measor came up as a possible alternative to the name Meason  (which I think is what is written on the marriage certificate of Alice and Charles Betts).  It is possible her maiden name could be Alice Janet Measor, bit if it is, I don't think she's the one who married Charles May in 1877.

There is an Alice Janet Measor marrying in 1877 Kensington, I doubt she is relevant to this post but it made me think that Measor is perhaps a surname to consider

As you can see I only posted that information as I thought Measor could be your Alice’s surname going by your interpretation as to her father’s surname on her marriage.  I did not think that she was your Alice

The only way to rule her out for certain was to do the research, which brought us all to the same conclusion. It's not her.
