That marriage certificate should tell you the names and occupations of the fathers, and the names of the witnesses to the marriage.

The names of the fathers are important to help us find more information.

The names of the witnesses are often of help, if they are relations.


Please can you post those names.

HI jan yes it says on marriage certifiate Decorative artist an on his death cert it says retired decorating contractor.

thnaks

fiona

Another question! Had he been married previously?
Jan

I dont know I have only been given marriage and death certificates by my mother in law dont think anyone knows any more info soz.

fiona

It should say if he was a bachelor or widower. Doesn't matter too much but any bit of evidence might offer a clue!
Do you have an address on the cert?
ADDED names of witnesses too please.
Jan

oh god im so stupid it says batchlor. marriage was in richmond register officecounty of surrey 27th july 1928 witness where both called smith one initial i cant make out and the other looks like f.

thanks Iam new to this help up until now i have managed to do all my own research. but with my father in law been born in canda has made my search difficult. I am retiring for the night now so any replies wont be seen until i return.

thanks everyone

If you have an address for him, put it here, you never know, might be a clue 1911 (latest available census) though timespan a bit too much to be of use I suspect.
Unless it is London I don't think anyone will be able to search the electoral register online. It might be possible to ask staff where records are kept to have a look. Other household members might offer a clue (or not!).
I assume you are certain of age, he was rather old for a 1st marriage?
Jan

Just one more query! Did his the family then return to the UK - I assume you have this?

Births Jun 1935 (>99%)
Turner Jeannette M De N De Neef Brighton 2b 231

If you are over here, you might be able to investigate the electoral register in person - if near enough!

jan

Hi thanks Jan Ithought he was a bit old for his first marriage but it definatley says age 48 on marriage certificate the address for both henry and alice is writen as 9 Gloucester Road Kew. I would like to find out when they went to canada and returned too. the Jeannette you found seems to be Jean Andre(1930) sister. I am in england but at the other end of the country!!! Getting inof from other family menbers id virtually nil either they dont want to know or just can`t remeber i hope its the latter.

thanks

Fiona

There was an Alice Voaden living there 1911 so no use. Some Turners were living along the road, but this is a fairly common name so I suspect unrelated. Will put them anyway!
Suggest you try asking for an electoral register search nearer the time they married, maybe they will be nice and do it for free!

Hi Jan Do you mean ask for a electrol search on here sorry but iam a bit green with all this. i have mastered the art of the census if I have enough info but anything else iam unsure of how to trace people.

thanks

fiona

I am not sure if electoral register will be online for Kew. I know London ones are. Tell you what, I shall put out a general query and get back to you.
If not the only option is to inquire at the place the registers are kept - usually nearest main library.
Speak to you in a minute.
Jan

It doesn't look like you can access these online. I am not certain, but having had a look around i think records might be at the Surrey History Centre - if not, they will be able to tell you where they are:
