	Ok.........i am back! :-D I have just spent an hour going though the muddle i posted yesterday to see if i can make any sence of it. We have the marriage that states that "Eliza" Sweetser married William Cove... who's Father is a Thomas Cove.....Labourer. Searching through the records........i cannot spot a Willam Cove with the details given on that marriage record. Assuming the details i posted are correct and that "Eliza" Sweetser was actually baptised "Ada Eliza Sweetser"..........and as i already said, the 1911 census i posted all seems to tie in, except for the fact that it has "Thomas" as the husband. I have traced that Thomas back through the records and this is what i have found........ So on the 1911 census, we have Thomas Cove born 1873 Westminster London....Occupation...Masons Labourer. On the marriage record, we have William Cove, age 19 (Labourer) born abt 1875....Father Thomas Cove (Labourer)..........One of the witnesses..........Dan Cove. Thomas and Ada in 1901.... 1901 England Census about Thomas Cove Name: Thomas Cove Age: 26 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1875 Relation: Head Spouse's Name: Ada Cove Gender: Male Where born: Westminster, London, England Civil parish: Battersea Ecclesiastical parish: St Stephen County/Island: London Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Wandsworth Sub-registration district: East Battersea ED, institution, or vessel: 8 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 179 Piece: 441 Folio: 46 Page Number: 27 Household Members: Name Age Thomas Cove 26 (Masons Labourer) Ada Cove 25 Born Battersea Alice Cove 6 1891 England Census about Thomas Cove Name: Thomas Cove Age: 16 Estimated Birth Year: abt 1875 Relation: Son Mother's Name: Mary Ann Cove Gender: Male Where born: Westminster, London, England Civil parish: Battersea Ecclesiastical parish: St Stephens County/Island: London Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: Wandsworth Sub-registration district: East Battersea ED, institution, or vessel: 6 Neighbors: View others on page Piece: 421 Folio: 14 Page Number: 21 Household Members: Name Age Mary Ann Cove 59 (Widow) Mary Ann Cove 21 Thomas Cove 16 (Stone Masons Labourer)

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 18,042 Send Message	Wendy, we hit lucky with Laura's side as the surnames were so unusual. Because Henry Powell is a much more common name you really do need to get that marriage certificate to get his father's name & occupation - it will also hopefully verify what we've found about Laura. You should now have a good start to work back from the 1911 for her family. Just for reference, does this look like Henry's death? England & Wales, Death Index: 1916-2006 Name: Henry Powell Birth Date: 31 Aug 1914 Date of Registration: Jan 1995 Age at Death: 80 Registration district: Lewisham Inferred County: London Register Number: D34A District and Subdistrict: 2421D Entry number: 12
