Find Ancestors

Hi, just me again, I am trying to find my mother in laws relations.

Joseph is at the top of the Lancasters right now, He was born in Kempston, Bedfordshire approx March 1876, married Emily Abraham(s) in Bedford 1896.

They had 2 sons, Reginald and Robert, Reginald married Violet Rasbarry in Romford 1928,

Robert possibly married Mabel Norman, they had 2 children David and Gena.

Sorry, I'm Confused with your John & Joseph ?
Who are you looking for ?

Joseph married Emily in 1896 NOT John ? ?

No, I've no idea about Robert at all, I have his missus down as Mabel Norman, but that could be wrong,

Fran,
it's now 1.30 am and I must get some sleep.
If you can think about the ages of Roberts children and work out when they might have been born that will help narrow the years that he married.

I have to look through these quarter by quarter, year by year, so all info helps,
Julie

Julie

You've done so much already, thank you a million times.

I've looked up Josephs wifes family, the Orpines.

Found them in the 1841 census
Orpine Kitty 7
Orpine Lucy 9
Orpine Alice 10
Orpine ANN 11
Orpine Elizabeth 13
Orpine Mary 25
Orpine George 35

By 1851 the only one on the census is Lucy, and she is down as being 22,

Elizabeth didnt marry until 1853. So what happened!
