Find Ancestors

Thank you David for finding those marriages.

Charles certainly seems to have been a serial groom. I'll need to spend a bit of time tomorrow (today) untangling his various families - we could be up to 4 marriages!

What about the third marriage in my earlier post. Does the marriage record info show who that was to?

Thanks for all your help - I think I'll call it a night now and come back to it fresh tomorrow.

Sorry must go . Hubby's shouting at me. will look in tomorrow.

Maybe he was a serial groom??

Bother,I cant spell cereail!

If that last one is him he certainly got through a few wives :-)

The 1881 would be really useful as Edward would only have been about 6.

This could be Mary Ann
Deaths Sep 1879 (99%)
Wilson Mary Ann 58 Islington 1b 226

This could maybe be him a bit earlier.

Thank you so much alviegal - I'll try and follow that one up in the censuses, although she would have been 56 when she had Edward.

Can I ask you which program you are using to find that sort of marriage information? Is it one of the upgraded Ancestry packages? if so I think it might be worth investing in when the time comes to renew.

Would you believe 5 Charles Wilsons married in Islington between 1862 and 1876 and I can only rule out 1, middle name James.

Here's a later marriage. No wonder I couldn't find him with a Mary in 1871.

He's a widower, still a tinman and staying in West Ham. His father seems to still bealive and a labourer.
She wa a widow of 4 Fair Street and her father was a servant.

Father Name: William Dubry Wilson
Spouse Father Name: Nathanael Wilton

Wow - I nip to the bathroom and come back to loads of fantastic info
Big 'Thank You' to everyone.

However it seems unlikely that Mary Birch was Edward's mother because if she was 49 when she married Charles in 1862 she would have been 63 when he was born in 1876. Perhaps I need to look for a death and another marriage for Charles.

I think Miss Mary may have been a bit long in the tooth to have been having a son in 1876??
