I think we could probably discount any born in 1889. Why would he say he was younger than his bride on the marriage if he wasn't? More likely to have added to his age I think.

I agree Ann, but it is VERY baffling !

Well I am glad that I am not the only one that is baffeled.

I wonder might my grandmother have lied and said her father was deceased in 1951 at the time of te marraige.

Also I was thinking what you have mentioned above, why would Robert have lied about his age?

I wonder if there is anyone out there who could look at the actual marriage in the parish register. I think I have seen details such as mother's name on marriage in some RC registers. Quite a while since I looked at one so could be confusing with baptisms where godfathers etc were often named.

Maybe as you know the exact date and church from the certificate the appropriate record office would do a free look-up

Cool that is an avenue that I will check out. Any idea at all what or where the records office may be, or how I can contcat them?

I have been going over and over census records and I have a suspicion that some cartmells might have been changed from Cardmell or incorrectly transcribed.

Hello All

Sorry i have been away for ages. I have been doing bits and bobs with my research but havent had a lot of time, 2 kids now and a third due in November :-)

Hope everyone is keeping well and if anyone can help me with my latest questions I would very much appreciate it.

I am looking for any info at all on my grand uncle and aunt Ann & Samule Kirkham who were 5 & 7 at the time of the 1911 census living at 7 Thomas Street, Hulme, Chorlton.

My mum always maintained they never married anyone but as i have found out my mother was misinformed about a lot much to her delight I was able to give her the correct details re her mum and dad.

Any help as always would be much appreciated.

Warmest Regards

Danny
