If you send for a copy of the marriage certificate from gro.gov.uk this will confirm their father's names and so prove if my findings are correct

Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar

I think this is marriage for Margaret's parents (surname is spelled differently which is quite common if they are unable to read or write. This will show on certificate if you obtain it as they will have signed with a X)

Hello again, thanks for help re George William Kitchen born Consett Co. Durham 1891 , the 1901 census info you forwarded is the correct one. His father is shown as William Kitchen born 1852 married to Jane nee Jackson married 1876 Lanchester area. from the 1881, i have William aged 28 born Sunderland and Jane aged 27 born Blackhill Colliery Durham, and Mary 3 born Leadgate Durham. In 1871 i then have him in Sunderland aged 20 a Cordwainer with his father William aged 50 born Hants Southampton and his wife Elizabeth aged 30 (2nd wife?) born Durham.
do you think that his father is an inmate in Durham Jail in 1851 a shoe maker? and can you find him in 1861 and 1841? and any idea on his wife / wives?

Hi A,

Are you sure that William with Ann is correct, maybe this could be him?

Jacqueline. Hi I was wondering if you find a marriage between a William Taylor and a Sarah Casier (believe that is how her last name is spelt)
Anyway the wedding would have been around 1802, Stow on the Wold, Gloucester, England. Sarah was born in the county but William was not.
If you are able to find anything, it would be appreciated.
cheers
Christine

Hi Priscilla,

They may have married in Scotland as she was from there and I'm afraid I do not have Scottish BMD records

Regards Jackie

Hi Christine,

Sarah Casier
Marriages:
Spouse: William Taylor
Marriage:

Hi Jacqueline

Would you please look in 1871 census for Toxteth Park, West Derby/Liverpool for Joseph Royden, born about 1817 in Liverpool. In 1861 he was a Dock Labourer.

By 1871 I think that he was a Widower. Any details of family and addresses would be very useful.

Thanks in advance

John
