It's married name Jess. Maiden name is Elmer,married to George? Chambers in 1885,Lincoln. I'm more interested in George but have no idea of where or when he was born,trying to confirm his area and year for birth ref. Marriage cert on these two does not have his age Glen |

That's funny, I was just looking at ''the one'' in 1901, but didn't know it until I read your last post!!! A good omen? Merry |

Thanks Merry - I get confused - It's Nell that's cooking Chille con carne, not Jess. Hope the house move goes o.k. Jess - I wouldn't do it again !! Dea x |

Hi Merry, he was a Labourer on one birth cert and marriage cert,cert for lilly birth in the post. I'm afraid i can't be more helpful than that. He is a mystery at the moment. |

Ooh that,s interesting. Lilly wedding cert has father as George Chambers Frederick birth cert has father as George Chambers Martha Thorbon Elmer wedding cert to George Chambers in 1885. Major rethink needed now methinks. Might do an open letter to Martha lol. Thanks for your help. Glen |
