Morning everyone. I received my gp's marriage cert this morning, and although it doesn't answer all the questions, I think there's probably enough circumstancial evidence to just put purchasing other certs on the back burner for a while and just plough on. I don't want to bore you all again, but basically a theory was suggested that my gt grandmother was married prior to the one with gt gf. The marriage cert confirmed 2 things- that my gt gf was alfred keen, which ties in with the theory, and that a witness was alice keen, who was a possible sibling on freebmd. I know i'd need to get alfreds m cert to confirm if his bride was indeed lizzie lailey nee hannell, but do you reckon it's enough to go on for now? Craig

Was Alfred old enough to be working on the 1901 census? You could compare the occupations to see if they match up.
Also check 1911 if you can. That might give you more information about the family.
I think I'd be tempted to get Frederick's birth cert, just to make sure the details are correct.
It does sound very likely thoughTracy

To be honest, if I were you I would take it one step at a time and get the certificate to confirm what you think before you spend much time tracing them back through censuses etc just in case the certificate turns out to say something else.KiteRunner

Bucks fhs is very good - probably useful as you start to go back. They do lookups and email image for £1 or a 100year list of when the name occurs for £5

If you don't put the reference number in though it'll be £10 - so always put that in for the GRO.
