It could be that John died by 1861 the elder children all seem to be in the workhouse

There does not seem to be much point in purchasing the 1880 marriage cert as all the details have been posted.....the only extra bit of information would just be an address but it may not help

Thanks all, looks like there is some unpicking to do. Will hope that the certificates shed a bit more light on her background - though it might not say anything more than I have now seen above.

Bradford on Tone is a village and civil parish in Somerset, England, situated on the River Tone 4 miles (6.4 km) south west of Taunton in the Taunton Deane district. The parish, which includes Tone Green, has a population of 606.[1]
The village is centred on the meeting of three roads: two of these come from the A38, the main road between the towns of Taunton and Wellington, while the third leads north to the nearby village of Oake. Around this junction are situated the local pub, The White Horse, a war memorial, the Church of St Giles, the Village Hall and some older residential buildings. To the east of the village centre is Bradford Court, which has recently been converted from a dwelling to a home for juvenile delinquents.

Ahh that's interesting - it namechecks both places. I will have a look into that.

Thanks

Maybe - not much help though!!

So that says Bradford, Som, but the 1891 and 1901 say she is from Weymouth.... Can't find a birth record for either place..

Chris :)

Hi, I've got Mitchell from Genes when I searched for John Michael Upton's marriage - it matched them and I thought to have Eva Elizabeth which is on census match up would be too much of a coincidence not to be the same one?

Is that presumptive?

Thanks

Hi

Have you got the marriage certificate to her fathers name?
