I think some of you have Nottinghamshire connections and some collections of records.
I am looking for the marriage of Alfred Griffiths to Clara Finney in Hucknall on 25 Sept 1897. Alfred was born in Wellington, Shropshire and I need to find out about him to discount him from a complicated search! I'm hoping his father will be Joseph Griffiths. I'm loath to buy the certificate because he isn't a relation. He is in Hucknall with Clara in 1901 and 1911.
If you want the long story(!!) this Alfred Griffiths' father died when he was very young and his mother Hannah remarried to a Jones. Alfred appears in 1881 in Wellington aged 10 as Alfred Jones but in 1891 he is Alfred Griffiths in Wellington with his mother Hannah Jones.
Another researcher claims he is the Alfred Jones who is with Alice Owen and her children in Wellington in 1911. Alice registered all the children (no father on certificates) as Griffiths but Alfred Jones was with them in 1901 as well and I think he is likely to be the father (the one child who died was registered Alfred Edward Jones Griffiths!!). The other researcher suggests Alice calls herself Griffiths because that could have been Alfred's surname at birth. HOWEVER there is another, even more complicated reason she might have done this!!! I'll stop there. This is my son in law's tree!
