Which numbers do you mean?

If you give us the details of who you are looking at and in which census maybe someone can help.

Do you mean something like this from a 1901 census transcription?

Class: RG13; Piece: 1254; Folio: 26; Page: 44.

It's a record filing system and source citation. The actual image has RG13/1254 printed on it. I think RG13 refers to 1901 census within the UK. Folio = book, page is obvious. Not sure where the 1254 comes from!

With the above info, anyone could look up the census page if they have internet access.

No worries Sally, it's confusing how ever long you've been doing it :))

Do you have the marriage cert for Margaret and Leo? just asking as it will have the father's name on...I know you know it's Frederick, but he may have used his second name and been christened something else for his first.

all i no is that it was april may june 43 tonbridge kent sory no cert as yet

Rambling

Rambling Report 26 Aug 2010 12:57

I think you will have to get the marriage cert to be sure of Margaret's father's name you can order online at

https://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates/default.asp

If it is the Pattenden marriage, there are 3 possible sisters and a brother born between 1912 and 1923 so that does look a possible

If you go to that web address for ordering certificates and order Margaret and Leo's marriage , the form is very easy , you will need the volume and page number below , and the registration district (Tonbridge) I would start with that to confirm the name of Margaret's father. It will cost £9.25

Name: Margaret Fuller
Spouse Surname: Cook
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1943
Registration district: Tonbridge
Registration county (inferred): Kent
Volume Number: 2a
Page Number: 2270
