Think I may have found his wife confirmation needed

[Guest]

I have a Marriage Cert 1902 Groom Alexander Miller Bride Esther Bruce aged 28
I have trawled through the Census records found a Esther looks like it may be mistranscribed as Bruse born Kingsbury aged 29 living in Hendon
RG13/122/38
Could somebody take a look please thanks , and more to the point do you think she just may be the right one ?????

[Little Nell]

Well Val, its not as though you have oodles of candidates for this bride, is it?!

I think the image clearly says Bruce. However her age looks more like 39 than 29 to my eyes, especially compared with other 3 and 2s on same page.

I think it looks more like 39 as well.

However, it's not unheard of for a bride to take a great slice of years off!

Can't see her on earlier censuses at the mo though....(any age!)

What's her dad's details??

There is an Ester Bunce on the 1891 - born 1861 Kingsbury

RG12; Piece: 1049; Folio 103; Page 54;

I thought it might have been a mistranscription but it looks quite clear on the image. :(

UPDATE Can probably forget that one as she appears as Bunce on the 1871 census as well!

Father of Esther should be Henry Bruce, Gas Worker. (who doesn't appear anywhere! lol)

Maybe they came down from Scotland?

[Guest]

ooer thanks everyone
Merry her father according to the cert was a Henry gas worker do you think it could be him ???????????????
Please say yes

[Merry Monty Montgomery]

Eh?????! Could who be him??

I don't think anyone's found anything yet Val?!!

I just copied what you said about Henry on the other thread, to let people know who they were looking for!!

Alexander Miller was only 23 in 1901. What age did he give on the marriage cert?

Do you know if this couple had children?

[Guest]

sorry got visitors
looks like I misunderstood, he was born in 1882 although it says 1877 on the 1901 census and he says 25 on the marriage cert,
I dont know about children yet although I think I have found a couple of their babies who died under a year old am sending for the certs.
I also think I have found their deaths, his in 1914 hers in 1918 both in Whitechapel so am going to send for those too.
