thanks to all that helped me trace my grandfather Albert Lester Hummerston,
i got a copy of his birth cert. and his father is James John Joseph William Hummerston, Mother Beatrice Sarah Feasey.
I have had no problem with the Feasey side but can find no trace of JJJW anywhere
anyone have any suggestions as to where the best palce to look?
thanks

When and where was he born?

[Elaine ..Spain]

This appears to be his marriage

Marriages Dec 1910
Feasey Beatrice S
Hummerston James W
Paddington 1a 37

The certificate would give his father´s name andoccupation which might help you to trace him in the census.

What was James' occupation on the birth certificate of Albert.

[Mary from Italy]

This seems to be the marriage:

Marriages Dec 1910
Cleave Alice F Paddington 1a 37
Feasey Beatrice S Paddington 1a 37
Hummerston James W Paddington 1a 37
Weller Charles W Paddington 1a 37

I think it says wine porter as occupation. not very clear
my cousin seems to think he was born c1870 in whitechapel
if that helps?

[Mary from Italy]

What's his age and marital status on the marriage cert?

[mariescott64]

age 39 and married

[Mary from Italy]

age 39 and married

Is that what it says on the marriage cert? Do you mean widowed?

Is this your grandfather's birth?

Births Jun 1903
HUMMERSTON Albert Lester Fulham 1a 179

[mariescott64]

yes thats my grandfather but it definately says married

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

yes thats my grandfather but it definately says married

How can it say he was already married on a marriage cert? Is that what it says under Condition?

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

What was his father's name and occ on the 1910 marriage cert?

[mariescott64]

sorry bit of confusion here i have birth cert for Albert not marriage cert for James

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Ok, so you need the marriage cert to help with being certain you get the right person on the 1901 census etc as it should include James' age (accutate or otherwise!) and his father's details.

Where did you see his age recorded as 39? (I think that's why we thought you had the marriage cert)

[Mary from Italy]

I wonder why they didn't get married till after Albert was born? Maybe one of them had been married previously and their spouse died between 1903 and 1910?

Do you know why your cousin thinks James was born c1870 in Whitechapel?
