Hi, I don't know if anyone can help me.
I've been looking for my mother in laws family over the past few months, mil doesn't know much about her family at all.
I have in my hand here a marriage certificate of mil's parents.
her father is George Walter Channell dob 25th Dec 1904 but she doesn't know where he was born.
Her mum is Dorothy Hornby dob 31st Dec 1904, the same, no idea of where she was born.
There marriage 23rd September 1931 In Roffey, Horsham, West Sussex.
I do know that Dorothy was reputed to have been moved to the the family of the Gumm's in Warnham, Horsham during her childhood and remained there until her marriage.
On the cert it claims that the father of George Walter Channell is Charles Walter Channell, Gardener.
The witnesses on the cert are Rosina Caroline Gumm and Alfred Gumm both from Warnham, near Horsham, W Sx.
Now checking on the 1911 Census I have found George Walter Channell with 1 sibling, but it states his father is Walter John Channell , dob 1868 Rogate, Sx.
Do you think this is correct and a lie been told on the marriage cert , or do you think I have the wrong family on 1911?
Many thanks for anyone who can help.
Mil is coming over this afternoon to chat about family things and to try and see if she can remember any more info.
