I,ve got a
Isabella Evans 1878 marrying a David John Peters 1865

Well this is it
1901 they both live at Lower William street London with children

So to get back further I got the Marriage cert ....But its a isabella Evans and David John Peters in 1902 ! and they give different addys ...is this them and how will I be sure

Obviously I can't say it definitely is yours but I can tell you My great grandparents were neighbours in 1901, my grandmother was born 1905 at the address her father was living at in 1901. Her parents married in 1907 both giving completely different addresses on marriage cert. I just assumed they had both moved but them realised my grandmother married in 1925 from the same address she was born.

Turns out the addresses they gave for their marriage were His eldest daughters & Her eldest child. So it could be yours did the same.

Thanks Chrisa ..may be right then ..


But I,ve now looked at davids father who was deceased in 1902 on marriage certificate ...but can only find a death of a man by that name in 1906 ...

prehaps its a patten !!

My Great Grandparents lived together for 12 years and had 4 children before getting married (not sure why).

My Great Grandmother had been using her "married" name for all those years but gave a different name when she married.

Maybe your relatives just wanted it to look as though they hadn't been living at the same address.

Have you checked if the occupation for David John Peters on the marriage is the same as on the 1901 census when he is an engineers labourer?

Margaret...good point the certificate says he was a bricklayer !! and as you say the census says engineers labourer!!!

But the witnesses fit her side of the family on the 1881 census !!


Just looked again ..even her father fits he was a groom on census and on the marriage certificate

Now the address I checked with some help and a bricklayer lives at the addy given by David and Isabellas addy is housekeepers!!

Sorry ...the marriage took place in the Register office ...

dont know if this helps any !!

Do the ages match with the census details?

Rose

within about 2 years yes ........

If I get the first childs birth certificate ......would that help ????


Oh .....the hand writting is ALL the same on this certificate ...including the 4 signitures ...is that normal??

Can you list the details from the cert?

Any chance Isabella or David were married before?
