In a mo please,

Helllllppppp, I have Ellen Medlin William Francis Bowder Harriet William Francis Pascoe Married in the Sept q of 1876 in Falmouth Cornwall, Can I find who married who...... no! tried LDS with no luck so then looked on the 1881 census and still can't find either chap with any respective possible wife? Please this is driving me mad! Like a challenge? Can you help? Thanks in advance Lisa

Possibly there;s another chap and woman who haven't been transcribed yet, which would complete the puzzle. Or maybe one of these couples who married managed to die before 1881 census? Have you found either chap married to someone else or as a widower? nell

I can't find them in the census either. You could always buy the certificate for the one person you are interested in. Kath. x

Hi Helen No, it is actually Ellens spouse I am after so have no other info for William or Francis, if that makes sense Lisa

Sue, They will all have the same volume and page number if they have been found together on FreeBMD. Kath. x

Just realised that myself D'oh....time for a lie down in a darkened room I think.

Hi Sue I don't know either, on free bmd all four are on the same page, elusive peeps that they are!

There is a Frank and Ellen PASCOE in Falmouth in 1881. RG11; Piece: 2320; Folio: 45; Page: 19 Jennifer

Hi Judith 1849 in Budock, Falmouth, I have her from 1851, 1861, 1871 then she vanishes...... Dad is James, mum Ann.

Ooooh Jennifer I am off to have a little looksey!

Hi Jennifer, Nearly fell of my chair only Ellen would be a lot older.... or would she? maybe knock a few years off?

Hi Judith Food for thought..... didn't think about Frank, searching high and low for Francis!

Just to say thanks to everyone who replied, came up with ideas etc, Jennifer it looks like you are bang on, just found Ellen as a widow in 1891 so will investigate further, just goes to show what a great bunch you are on here! Many many thanks Lisa

I don't want to put a spanner in the works, but the Ellen Pascoe, widow in 1891, was married to a John Pascoe in 1881, no sign of Francis/Frank Jennifer

Jennifer.... you are scary, I have just found that too! I think a cert is the only way for this one?

And are you sure William's surname hasnt been mistranscribed? There are a lot of Bowdens down here, but I haven't heard of any Bowders. Could it be an 'n' instead of an 'r'? That might make it easier to find on a census who he might have been with. Just a thought Bex

Hi Cornish maid, Ohhhhh nooo brain overload! not so sorted after all!

Another problem, I searched the census and wasnt able to find William married to either Harriet or Ellen... then I found a William Francis Bowden, born 1859 who died in Jan/Feb/March qtr of 1881, If this is the same one that got married in 1876 we're not going to find him and his wife together on either the 1871 or the 1881 census. Sorry... will revert back to Francis Pascoe and see if I can find anything on him. But... looks like it's certificate ordering time, lol

Hi Cornish Maid, I did find a William Francis Bowden born in 1862 registered in Helston, of course there is no age for 1881 deaths is there, I think you are right I will have to order the cert, just won't admit to hubby, ( bless)lol
