I am looking for a marriage between:

Edward Walter Graham b 1900
and
Caroline Jacobs b 1902

first child born 1924

They lived in Bermondsey/Stepney for most of their married lives.

Thanks

Sue

Is this the birth? Can't find a marriage.

Births Mar 1925
Graham Edward W W Jacobs Mile End 1c 471

If the birth was late 1924 it probably registered in 1st Q 1925

Looks like it cos this birth was 30/12/24 :-))

I have been trawling for the marriage for hours not a sausage :-((

What do you think?

There are none on FreeBMD, have you looked on Ancestry?? How do you know their names? Have you got a birth cert?

My BIL is here with me on a visit, his father was Edward Walter Graham, one of his brothers is the birth you found.

I am either gonna bang my head against the wall or my BIL's...

Searched ancestry but the only Caroline Jacobs comes up with wrong hubby. Trawled through in case mistranscribed too.

Sue

Which years have you already checked?

Checked years 1918 - 1928 (just in case)

Fred I saw that one, area right but surname of groom wrong :-)

Sue

If you have looked on each quarter and not found then someting odd somewhere, or perhaps I shouldn't say that!!
Have you searched from 1918 when Caroline would have been 16 and able to marry?

Thi scould be Edwars'd birth

Births Mar 1900
Graham Edward Walter Stepney 1c 430

Yes that's his birth.

We have debated about the marriage but BIL remembers a wedding photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and he doesn't think he was in it!

I cant find Carolines birth...not around 1902

I wonder if that was her second name?
