Marriage certificates

[Bellas girl]

Oh, you wonderful people. I must admit I gave it a rest last night, as it was driving me nuts!

I have a busy weekend ahead of me but I will certainly look at all your suggestions.
I have a bit of a query . This gentleman shot himself whilst suffering from “ temporary insanity “ I have noticed a Charles Clark being in and out of the workhouse, so I am wondering if he was a patient due to mental problems.
In my own family, I had a great grandma , who just disappeared from 1878 to 1911 and she was described as a lunatic ( probably post natal depression) she died of cancer in 1912. What do you think?

I did a check a few days ago for all Charles Edward/Edward Charles born c 1881+-5 years and found nothing either.

His occp is pretty specific on M/C and Ralph a unusual name to come up with for a false Father.

Just to add to the confusion….on his 1914 Attestation papers, first page, he stated that he was not married.
He signed up in York.

Wasn’t it Seaforth?  Isn’t that Liverpool area?

At the bottom of page 1 it says York, 7th August 1914 

Looking at his son's baptism at St Stephen Upper Holloway, it seems to me that the abode is 'St John's Road Workhouse' - dittoed from the top of the page.

It’s getting stranger and stranger isn’t it.

This probably won’t help either but the 1911 for Ralph says 10 children born - 8 living 2 have died

Same wife it would appear as married 39 years - marriage 1872

I don’t think he belonged to that family at all but if not how would he even know the name to put down for a father at the opposite end of the country.

What about the address he put down at time of marriage, is that any help?

[JenB]

Where did you find the marriage certificate?
I must be going mad _ I can't find it anywhere 

[Milliepede]

It was on the family tree on ancestry with Ralph and family on.

Details at reply 10.  He put down 44 Liverpool Road and father deceased which Ralph wasn’t. 

I really don’t think that Northumberland family has anything to do with him at all, just a coincidence son George has Nesbitt Clark in his name.

There are other examples of Nesbitt Clark around.

Got it - thank you 

I also think the Northumberland family is a red herring.
