Colin Report 28 Feb 2009 04:54

I have a Henry Wilson born abt 1848 in Chatham, Kent married to Nora(h) Darley (or Darty, or Doughty) in 1867. They are in the census of 1901 and 1891 but I can't find them anywhere else.

On their marriage certificate Henry's father is Edward (or maybe Edmund terrible writing!) and Norah's father is Benjamin.

I thought that Henry was the son of William and Patience Wilson but that Henry was born in Gillingham (next to Chatham) and still lived with mother Patience (widow) in 1871 so that is not likely.

I have checked birth records, census etc with no luck.

Any ideas

Hi Colin
On the marriage cert what is Henry's father's occupation and what is Henry's age?

Researching:
More in hope than expectation!
