Find Ancestors

Hi, hope someone can help because I've 'struck Out'

I'm trying to find the maiden name of James Thomas Fisher's wife -her first name is Mary.

James was born 1857 in Lane Head (Nr Wolverhampton -Staffordshire.

The census's show he was married between 1871 and 1891 (I can't find him in 1881).
The 1911 census states he was married in 1879 but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

The census's show Mary to have been born about 1860 in Wolverhampton.

Cheers

Terry

Fisher James Thomas Walsall 6b 940
Powell Rhoda Walsall 6b 940
Price Mary Walsall 6b 940
Riley William Walsall 6b 940

Yes I've already tried that one but without any luck.

Terry

The birth certificate of one of his children will tell you her name, useful for confirmation, also.

The only problem with that one is that he was already married in the 1891 census.

Could they have married later?

The only problem with that one is that he was already married in the 1891 census.

So they say??

Many people did'nt marry for years after their children were born...just like today

Clara Fisher was born in 1878/1879.
Have you found a birth for her, or was she born before marriage?

Her and four other siblings are in the 1991 census along with Mary

The census says Clara was born in Walsall, not Wolverhampton, and in 1878/1879, not 1880.

Sorry Patchem I think you cut off the first part of your reply.

?
You have a choice of 2:
Births Dec 1878
Price Clara Ann Walsall 6b 732
Births Mar 1879
Price Clara Walsall 6b 691

I think you need the birth certificate of one of the children....

Yes I think I'm going to.
Where they showing maiden names of mother's by then?
