Over on GR, poor Vickie has been trying to find this woman for ages - I cant see her at moment - in 1911 they are in Loughborough, Leicestershire. Both of them born in Nottinghamshire and she is a fair bit older than him. But I cant see a marriage for them. Ill leave Vickies notes for explanation. Ive told her Id ask you super sleuths No mention of previous marriage on the BCs for the kids.
My Great grandmother was Agnes Marion Kitchen (b1898, Loughborough). Her parents were Henry Maples Kitchen (b1872, Boughton, Nottingham) and Selina (b1864, Plumtree, Nottingham).
I have Agnes’ birth cert which states MMN as Burchnall, but I can’t find any Selina with this name and for over 2 years I have been unable to find a marriage between Henry & Selina.
I always thought Agnes was an only child as nobody in my family knew of any siblings plus in 1901 Selina was in her late 30s with only one child.
I’ve been on the 1911 and was surprised to find they had another child called Frederick Henry Kitchen (b1901, Ashby de la Zouch). Agnes called her first born son Fred in 1921, so I think her brother may have died before this as my family knows nothing of him, although I haven’t been able to find out anything about him as yet.
I have his birth cert as well which states MMN as Birchenhall. Again I haven’t been able to find any Selina with this name.
The 1911 census says Henry and Selina have been married for 20 years.
Can anybody think of where I can go from here? It is driving me mad!!
Many thanks in advance for any advice/help on who Selina was and maybe what happened to her son Frederick
