Hmm - there is a difficulty deciding which marriage for an Alfred Jones 1896-1899 could be correct. Assuming they did actually marry, its most likely to be this one.

Marriages Dec 1897 (>99%)
Cork Mary Ann A Nottingham 7b 687
Dobbs Thomas Nottingham 7b 687
JONES Alfred Nottingham 7b 687
Smith Annie Nottingham 7b 687

Had you thought of purchasing one of the children's BC?

Births Mar 1902 (>99%)
Jones Hilda Nottingham 7b 407

Births Mar 1900 (>99%)
Jones Clarence Nottingham 7b 416

Looking for Jones births post 1911 with one of the mothers maiden names listed on the 1897 marriage, there is

Births Mar 1912 (>99%)
Jones Edith (mmn) Cork Nottingham 7b 671

I haven't looked to see if there was another Jones/Cork marriage who Edith could belong to.

Although there are other Jones/Smith births, they are in Mansfield

Polly can be used as a diminutive of Mary, suggesting that Alfred Jones m Mary Ann A Cork.

To be 100% certain, a BC is needed ;-)

Thanks for that all.
I am doing this for a friend to get them interested in Genealogy.
Known fact is that Alfred had a Daughter Edith and I found this
Births Mar 1912 Jones Edith mother Cork - Nottingham
So looks like you are correct with Cork/ Jones marriage.

Just got to find that Cork born Chatham, doesn't help with different names Polly or Eliza. and now we have a Mary Ann.

Anyway just seen your remark on Polly used as a diminutive of Mary.

Anyway if I can't find it, will give them some work to do.

Thanks again

If Edith is their Ancestor, then persuade them to purchase that BC.

When looking for a Chatham birth, don't forget the parish records transcribed on
http://www.freereg.org.uk/
It is an on-going project meaning that a baptism record (if there is one) may not yet be transcribed.

Original images can be browsed on http://cityark.medway.gov.uk/
Select 'Parish Registers online' on the left of the opening page.

Never thought I would be sitting at computer at midnight doing a tree for someone else. But guess that is why you are all so helpful and it is such a good community, showing the internet being used in the right way.

re your 00:11

Most of us who help have done as much as we can on our own trees. Once you've got the searching bug, its difficult to let go :-D

Know what you mean +++DetEcTive+++
Will trace that Mary Ann A Cork is on freebmd b 1874 in Medway back tomorrow
and have added those links to my bookmarks ( they may well help with my own tree)

Getting too old for this I think! Off to bed.

Thanks again

:-D
