Did she marry Bernard Charles Bailey please?

One of these could be the dead sibling;

Haycock Mabel 0 Coventry 6d 336

HAYCOCK Rose Marian 0 Coventry 6d 258

Hello, yes she did marry Bernard Charles Bailey :-) Thanks for your help!

Her marriage certificate will have her Father's name on it, to help confirm whatever has been found.

Can anyone tell me what Hannah's Maiden name was - she married Thomas Spencer in 1852. Also who were John Haycock's parents and were there any brothers and sisters. Not sure if this was best asked in the same post or not :-)

Thanks,

Ben

Hello Ben, you're absolutely right to ask in the same post!

Have you looked on FreeBMD for the 1852 marriage? It will list the names.

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

You really need to get John Haycock's 1903 marriage certificate to find out his father's details. Because there were two chaps of the same name and very similar ages it would be too easy to follow the wrong one.

You can order certificates from GRO for £9.25 http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/

yeah, i'm pretty sure that he links in with the Spencers, presuming that, any ideas what Hannah's maiden name was and who John Haycock's parents were? I have tried Free BMD but not joy. Thanks!

no joy*

Where did the date of 1852 for the marriage come from?

From what I can see, that looks more like the year they were born?

Going by the 1911, Thomas and Hannah must have married around 1871:

Name Relation Condition / Yrs married Sex Age Birth Year Occupation Where born
SPENCER, Thomas Head Married M 59 1852 Watch Finisher Coventry Warwicks

Given that the names Ann and Hannah are often interchanged then this is a possible for Thomas and Hannah's marriage:

I've found Thomas & Hannah in the 1881 census and you will note that their address is 60 Leicester Street. I've also found a baptism at that address for son Thomas William (which I think is William T on the 1881 census) mother's name is given as Elizabeth Anna

I'll keep an eye on that one! Any ideas for John Haycock's born 1872's parents and brothers/sisters?

Thanks :-)

Only idea is to get the cert as suggested above!
