Muriel, Would they be on the 1871 census? It might be that the wedding cert is incorrect, and that he was not a lacemaker, just the son of a lacemaker? Ian |

HI Jeannette No, I realise that I really meant a listing - I've searched for the name & approximate time. I suppose I will need to go to westminster archives, can't find anything on their website. J |

Hi Muriel You won't find a birth cert for John as he was born before civil registration started. Jeanette x |

A while back I asked for help finding my ggrandparents marriage - John Brown (born in Westminster to Mary Gillies(born in Scotland shown as 34 & 32 respectively on 1851 census for Westminster). I had trolled ttrough any poss. marriage in Scotland - To no avail. Someone very kindly pointed me in the direction of a marriage in 1839 @ Lambeth (the only seeming match, Gillies being quite an unusual name). I sent for the certificate - great. However real problem is that John Brown is shown as a dairyman on both 1851 & 1861 censuses, yet on that wedding certificate the John Brown is shown as a lacemaker (the son of a lacemaker!) is such a life change really likely. Someone has suggested that the lace trade went through a problem at that time. Has anyone got any suggestions please& apart from John's birth cert which I can't find either, where do I go from here. Many thanks - k.a. Jenny |
