Can someone help me find Susan Ethel Cox This is what I have so far: her marriage certificate to David Vale 13th Jan 1901 West Ham (St Pauls Strafford, Essex) Ethel gives her age as 22 so dob circa 1879 she also names her father as George Cox occupation Carpenter. Her residence at the time of marriage is 3 Breadway or Broadway? But I cant find Ethel and David on the 1901 census and nor Ethel on previous census's. I have all of Davids prior to 1901

What are David's details? Place/date of birth and occupation.... I do wonder if this is her, mis-enumerated? Alice Culmer abt 1881 Faversham Servant Lewisham London David Vale abt 1872 Brixton Head Lewisham London >>>>Hilda Vale abt 1879 Levisham, Kent, England Wife Lewisham London This David is a tea merchant. Merry

where and when was David born

You don't mention David's age. Is he this one in 1891? David Vale abt 1868 Colchester, Essex, England Servant Hackney London Just so we have some reference stuff for him, too. Christine

Merry don´t think so - there is a David / Hilda marriage Hilda Bishop Smith 1900 Apr-May-Jun Lewisham Greater London, Kent, London David Henry Vale 1900 Apr-May-Jun Lewisham Greater London, Kent, London

So what details do you have for David? He might have been in South Africa for the Boer War...... Merry

good your quick only went to make a cuppa Ok David Vale porky pies on the marriage cert, he gives his age as 34 but i have his birth certificate and he was born 1862!. Davids occupation on the marriage cert is Grocer Oh sorry place of birth Colchester, parents David Vale and Mary Saunders. The vales are all bakers back in Colchester and run a pub there, expect Davids dad he appears as a hawker in one census and I think he is the one in prison in the 1881 census.

Where was he born please? x

1901 Emma Claridge abt 1845 Woolwich, Kent, England Wife Hackney London William Claridge abt 1839 Gt Bainton, Oxfordshire, England Head Hackney London David Tate abt 1865 Colchester, Essex, England Visitor Hackney London Susan Tate abt 1881 N Visitor Hackney London David grocer and provision assistant address is 96 Frampton Park Road image looks like - not sure !!! maybe Tale

Birth certificate says 1862 but he gives his age as 34 on marriage cert 1901 (1867)

That looks good Elaine! I have been trying allsorts looking for them

Doesn´t help much with Susan as it doesn´t give her place of birth !

I think the image def begins with a T but the enumerator could easily have copied the details wrong. There are too many coincidences for it not to be them, surely. Merry

Who were the marriage witnesses? Merry

The witnesses on David and Ethels marriage are Frank Vale and Lily Vale. I do have a Frank Vale for one of Davids brothers born circa 1870, havent got a birth cert for him yet.
