Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can help me with a problem i have concerning my maternal gt grandmother.
My problem is i think she had a bigamous marriage to my gt grandfather, in 1911. They lived in Aston, birmingham but they got married in Hereford. On the banns the first entry says Rose Cox, widow. This entry is crossed out and the next entry states Rose Gordon, spinster. My grandmother, was born 1912, her birth certificate states her mother's maiden name is Gordon, but i can only find her on the 1881, 91 and 01 census as Rose Gordin.
I know my grandmother had a half sister called Emily, dont know if her surname was cox or if she took my gt grandfather's name of Stokes. I can only find an Emily Cox born in 1905 in west bromwich( 6b 890). How can i clarify if she is my Emily without buying the birth cert? I don't want to wait a week just to find out she isn't the one.
I know this is a bit of a long winded explanation, and i hope you can folow what i'm trying to ask. Any help would be very gratefully received
