I have just recieved the Wedding Cert of Robert Turner & Alice Chinn 13/04/1873 parish of st mattias Birmingham Alices' father is Joseph Chinn is deceased according to the entry, his occupation is show as fishing rod manufacturer. Do you have a census before this date where you could look him up please as i have no other information on this chap and he has caused my tree to come to a halt. Thanks in advance

do you know when and where Alice was born ?

Patricia I'm more than happy to look for you but there are several Joseph Chinns. Can you give any more information such as which part of the country he was living in/born in? Any guesses as to approximately when he was born?

Hi Alice was born 1856c and he is either from Warwickshire or Staffordshire, sorry that is all i know Ta

Have you found Alice on a later census - if so where was she born?

No i have not found her

I'm not seeing anything that's immediately obvious in either the 61 or 71 census. Will keep looking though.

Thank you

Is she the one at Openshaw Lancs in 1881? I think she was born in Dudley. Heather

There is a good chance

If you haven´t found her in a census then how do you know her age - has this come from her marriage certificate? Presumably this couple must fit into your tree somehow - have you found Robert on any of the census? The reason I am asking so many questions is that if we can find out exactly when and where Alice was born then we should be able to find her on the 1861 census hopefully with both parents.

It was from the wedding cert i got her age as showing 17 in 1873

Is this her with her husband? What caused you to buy this marriage cert? Who else in their tree do you know something about? 1881 Robt.

Yes that is them

OK - so who is the descendant from Alice and Robert you are tracing ? We must find a census record to find out where she was born.

Message crossed - OK have seen Merry´s posting.

I started to get confused then LOL
