This is them in 1901 - why did you think they were in Knaresborough? George Rathmell abt 1875 Fewston, Yorkshire, England Boarder Haverah Park Yorkshire Maria Rathmell abt 1881 North Staffs, Alton Boarder Haverah Park Yorkshire

Sorry, so Maria Keeling married George Rathmell, not George Keeling? And where do you think they married?

no she was a keeling then married a rathmell then she married a jowers. thanks for help!! :-)

Sorry, Helen, must be the wine - are you saying that Maria was a Keeling and she married a Keeling? Could you put the 1901 info on here as I cant see a Maria Keeling born 1880 in the 1881. When you say they lived in Knaresborough,1901 do you mean as a married couple?

Rebecca thanks for reply Keeling was her maiden name then it changed to rathmell then jowers. thanks

yes that is right david jowers is my great great grandad. it is my nan who is giving me the info from a marriage cert but info patchy! acc george keeling 1850 quarryman and by 1933 rebecca jowers nee wheeler deceased? date and not make out dob for william jowers but believe david jowers to have been born in tendering, essex.

Right, so you are descended from the second marriage and you are tracing that couple? Do you have their marriage certificate which would give both fathers names? As you say you 'believe' her father was George? What is her maiden name? I thought it was Keeling at first but see she married a Keeling.

i am trying to research my family tree and i have got stuck!!! Maria Keeling abt 1880 alton, staff, married george keeling abt 1881 they lived in knaresborough in 1901. Then she met David Jowers abt 1881 they had a daughter florence 1910 but they did not marry till1933. i believe Maria father to be called George and david jowers parents to be called william Jowers and Rebecca Jowers nee Wheeler, but that is all i know. I would be very greatful if anyone can help. Thankyou!!
