Hi afgain, It's only just after 8pm here ................... I'm on the west coast of Canada!! What do you think about this marriage registration?????? Surname First name(s) District Vol Page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marriages Sep 1861 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brierly Elizabeth Ann Gravesend 2a 439 Mahomed Hassan Ben Gravesend 2a 439 Timworth James Gravesend 2a 439 WELLING Eliza Gravesend 2a 439 Sylvia

George's entry on the actual image is a mess, to say the very least!!! a) Originally written George W Tinworth b) Tinworth crossed out, and Wellin(?g) written in over George c) possibly William added to the W d) his age could be 16 not 10 Sylvia

Hi Sylvia Wow you have been working hard. I got all excited with the Tinworths but like you realised they were just a red herring but a very interesting one. I believe that the Eliza in the 1861 Greenwich workhouse is the right one and also that the death cert for William 1861 might be worth looking at. I think you could be right about William being in a hospital. I don’t think they did get married – but perhaps the death cert will answer that question. Thanks again Chris
