I had a look on Ancestry and can see just one tree containig this couple ( Johnstone Family Tree) but, there is no photo attached.

What is the name of the tree that you can see with a photo?

I see the document you mean- although it's not displaying:

Yvgoold originally shared the image-
" Alfred George Britton married Frances Georgina Webber at the Bristol Register Office on the above date." (19th May 1902)

I can't display any of the images attached to the tree.

The photo is actually an image of a photo indicating a "Scanned Document"

I clicked on this, but cannot copy and paste, or open on Ancestry...

Or, if perhaps you want to see details of Marriage Cert., why not get your own copy?...

(is it relating to below?)

I see the tree in question now.
Tree name: Golden FTW.FBK2014
Owned by Yvgoold who hasn't been logged into ancestry for 2 months.

None of the 3986 photos on this public tree will display and I think it may have something to do with the fact that it has been synched with FTM.


(I see that strange picture icon often but I'm not exactly certain why it happens)

The crux of the matter is folks, I'm trying to find both these twins in 1891,

in 1901 I have :

1901 - 4a Hillgrove Hill, Ecc.D Kingsdown, Bristol
Voysey Webber head m 32 Handsewn bootmaker worker at home b. not known
Frances Webber wife m 30 b. Ilfracombe
Albert E E son s 8 Bristol, glos
William H E son s 4 Bristol, Glos
Ivy I daur s 2 Bristol, Glos
John N son s 10 days Bristol, Glos
John Hyatt Head m 59 Plumber Bristol, Glos

............. but not her twin on 1901 Amelia Kate Taylor, later married Tadd

"Voisey" may have died as William Voisey 1902
death 1Q 1902 William Voisey Webber age 31 at Bristol [b.y. 1870]
John Norman Webber died 3Q 1901, age about 6 months or so.

About her husband Voysey :
bmd birth William John V Webber, JunQ 1868 at Newton Abbot, Devonshire
... but a matching baptism in Newton Abbot 17th July 1868, as William Charles Voisey Webber
of George a labourer, and Mary Ann.......!!!!

Skirting around all the Robbins family, they are not with them on Census.

But I'm still looking... hoping someone, perhaps a descendant, knows.

YES, CHRIS HO, IT IS RELATING TO THIS THREAD AND ALL THE HARD WORK DONE THERE BY MEMBERS, THANKS.

All I know, I believe, is on these previous threads.
I have Amelia Kate Butler Robbins marriage to Walter {William} Hooke Taylor, and in time will get her sister's marriage.
Frustratingly, Amelia was married on 28th March {first marriage} 1891, Bristol, from 4 Wells Street, and by 4th April 1891, one week later, she has disappeared.

I have the census image for her sister Eva Jane Biddle which shows Upper Wells Street, [not adjoining first mentioned] on the sheet, and my only remaining thought is that it was hard to read, and not published, and perhaps, Amelia mistook the address, and admitted Wells Street, instead of Upper Wells Street, on her marriage cert. It is all sheer guesswork, and I have downloaded quite a few erroneous census reports.

I thought there might be a photograph of Frances and husband, but maybe not... I don't have Ancestry.. or really know how it works. Frances was married in Cardiff, as posted, but is found in Bristol in 1901. Her brothers moved to Cardiff by this time.

I seem to know these twins' marriages, deaths, and children, but these middle years are evading me.
The boards have been so helpful, and I just thought I'd give it one last shot. You've all been great, thanks for your time.
