LK, yes I agreed with you. I can't find it, too.

I think Julia McKnight might be married in the Register Office at Woolwich. Because I can't find Gertrude Rutherford (Allen) and Jane McKnight’s marriages in the London marriages collection. Both of them were at The Register Office.

So The Register Office certificates might not be in the London marriage collection.

I will get a copy of Julia's marriage certificate next week.

In theory this should be on the London marriages collection.

I cannot find it tthough.

Hi LK, I think I would buy a copy of Julie McKnight and Michael Martin's marriage certificate. They were married at Woolwich in 1880. I hope their witnesses would be John and Margaret Allen or anyone with Allen.

Last night, I found a copy of Julie's first marriage certificate to Robert McKnight. They were married at Dublin in 1866. Their witnesses were Eliza Leeson and William Johnston. Julie's maiden was Doyle. However, I think it does not help any thing with Allens.

Hi LK,

I have not heard from Yvonne about her tree of Robert Tetlow. She is not opening a purple envelope yet, never mind.

Finally, I received a copy of Jane McKnigh's marriage certificate today. I am surprised to read who her witnesses were. It was James and Mary Rook (Rutherford). Jane and Robert lived at 27 Dicey Street Woolwich. They were married at The Register Office in Woolwich. That's where Gertrude and her husband George were married at the same place in 1915.

So Jane knew of James and Mary Rutherford (Rook) before. Mystery, I still could not find James and Mary's marriage. I tried with Rook but nothing to find it.

I wonder that Jane would know John and Margaret Allen. Too many mysteries.

LK, yes, that were them in 1861 census of Pearce.

Yes, there is so many coincidences around Allens.

Recently, I found that Moses Pearce's illegtmate granddaughter, Charlotte Pearce's marriage in Woolwich where her witness Richard Allen was. However, I could not find out who he was. I really hope he would connect to Gertrude.

That would be a good idea. \there is definitely a relationship of some type there. I cannot find the link with Ada yet.
I am also trying to find the link with the Sibthorpes. There are too many coincidences.

Hi LK, that's amazing. Many thanks for your help.

It is really interested about 27 Dicey St. So Rutherford family would move to 27 Dicey after 1899. Jane McKnight might know Rutherford family?

There is Robert Tetlow in GR family tree so I will contact them if they know anything about it. If not, I might order Robert Tetlow and Jane McKnight's marriage certificate to see who their witnesses were.
