Sydneys children were registered in Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, so I started looking there first for any relatives, and I found what I thought was Sydneys family in Castlethorpe, Buckinghamshire. The age of the Sydney in this family was right and the fathers name and occupation was the same also. But I havent been able to get any further.

ps if this post appears x2 its because I posted it once but couldnt see it on the thread so did it again lol

Which do you think is Sydney's family in 1901?

I'm just wondering if Harriet remarried....to a Joseph, who Sydney would maybe regard as his father.

Hi Gwyn

The witnesses on the cert were an Eliza flynn and an Olive Cosham ( not sure on the surname but thats what it looks like)

Tracie.

Who are the witnesses on the marriage cert.?

Gwyn

Hi Kath

I couldnt find his birth registration, so from the siblings with him in the 1901 census, I ordered one of theirs instead.

Name: Sydney Joseph J Smith
Year of Registration: 1893
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep

or this one:-

ohh sorry forgot that bit, he is down as 24yrs and Alice is 23, no father down for Alice.

How old does it say Sydney was on the marriage cert?

The marriage cert was for a Sydney Joseph Smith who was my great grandfather. He married an Alice Nye in Tonbridge Kent in 1918. On the marriage cert his father is down as a Joseph Smith a Farm Labourer. Sydney is down as a Private for the 4th Queens Royal West something or other. lol.
Address is 9 Broadwater Down, Tunbridge Wells. Wife Alice is living at High Street Pembury.

Any help or suggestions gratfully received.

I purchased one of their sons marriage cert, then found the family on the census which is where I got his mothers name from. I have not found the marriage of his parents yet, surname is Smith. lol


Tracie

could you get the marriage certificate and see who Harriett married?

Or what name Job/Joseph was using on there?


sylvia

so maybe the father wasn't called joseph??


OR he might have been Job Joseph (or vice versa), used Joseph in everyday life, but Job on documents?



Just a thought.



sylvia

oh nuts, back to the drawing board.

funny thing is my sister brought one of the siblings certs and it said job too. talk aobut coincidences., lol

No, Job and Joseph are two different names.

Jo josh , if his father was Job he would have altered it.

I have purchased a birth cert expecting the father to be joseph and the mother harriett. When it arrived mother is harriet but father is job. is job another abbreviation for joseph, like bill is for william?
