What's his age and address when he married?

Rose

John Gater was 26 when he married in 1919 and the address given was 84 Loveridge Road the address was given for both bride and groom,im presuming this will be in Willesden or Kilburn, NW london. They married in St Cuthberts Church,Hampstead.

Are the following any use?

John William Gater Mar 1889 Wolstanton 6b 95
John Michael Gater Sep 1889 St Giles 1b 602
John Gater Dec 1889 Leek 6b 280
John Thomas Gater Dec 1889 Leek 6b 274
John Gordon Gater Dec 1890 Windsor 2c 387
John Gater Mar 1893 Wolstanton 6b 161
John Goater Dec 1893 Whitechapel 1c 307
John William Gater Mar 1894 Newcastle under Lyme 6b 68

I was just thinking, if there was a significant gap in age between John and his wife, they might have knocked a few years off one age and/or added a few to the other age to make themselves appear closer in age.

Hi Kate
Thanks for that...i have already looked at all the John Gaters and found they were either deceased as infants or when order birth certs did not have a father with the name Frank. The John Goater is of interest though...thats one i havent come across. Will check this out a bit more.
Thanks
Marie

I have had a quick look at John Goater, no record of his death in freebmd so unlikely he died in infancy which is good, then looked at 1901 census no record of John Goater who would have been 7/8 yrs old, thats also postive if he has just be registered as Goater instead of Gater. Only way to be sure is to buy birth cert...but that will have to wait til pay day!

If someone has full access to records on ancestry.com could they look at John Gater military records-ww1 medal cards. I have seen these at the records office in Kew but may have missed something. I know I can do pay as you go but that has to wait til pay day! I also dont want to do 14 day trial until i have time off work.

Thank you in anticpation!
