Right have just had a quick peek at FreeBMD

Found this:

Sept. 1901 W. Derby 8b 667
2 couples:
Albert Smith & Janet Meikle
Martha Alice Smith & Archbald Dawber

Was this a double marriage?

Have you looked at FreeBMD

All you need to do is enter his name and a year range of about 2 years before birth of 1st child. Also just choose the county of Lancashire.
From this you will get a selection marriages. Click on the reference number of any you think are possibles and up will come the names of all others married using this ref. usually by this late date only 2 couples per record.

Also you can find the birth registrations of the children by entering their surname & mothers maiden name.

Also have you found them on the 1911 census, this will tell you how many years they had been married by this time and how many children born and living. :-)

I am new to this but have managed to confirm that my Grandfather a William Herbert Smith born Liverpool (west Derby registration district) in 1905 was one of 12 Children parents Albert and Janet smith (nee Meikle) have found the following children
Clara b1902
Ada b1907
Arthur b1910
Alfred b1904
Albert B1911
Janet B 1913 assume died soon after bith as another Janet
Frank 1914 know lived in Sussex on farm
Stanley 1918
Janet b 1920
Harold B19916
Leonard 1923 Have manged to trace decendants

I wondered if anyone can give any help insuggesting ways of finding out if they married or had children as have come to a dead end from the info my father has given me.

Many thanks
