  • Help with a marriage not on Freebmd

    Looking for the marriage of Ruth A Horwood to Herbert H Gilkes.
    On the 1911 census it says they have been married 12 years
    Their first child was born 1900 in Buckingham.

    So I'm looking for a possible marriage from 1899 ( +/- a year ).

    I would expect the marriage to be in Buckingham although there are London connections so this is a possible as well.

    Ruth was born @1876.

    I have looked on Freebmd but it doesn't seem to be there so would appreciate any help.

    Where was Ruth born?
    Have you found them in the 1901 census - if so can you give the reference.

      Ruth was born in Tingewick Buckinghamshire.

      I haven't looked/found them on the 1901 census yet. If they are on there thye will have a daughter with them who I believe was born 1900 in Buckingham - Dorothy Miranda ( although I think her birth ref on freebmd has her as Dorpthy Meranda ! )

                      Now this is a very big maybe - but Ruth did have a sister called Ellen !

                      Does it say were Ellen was born ?

                      I haven't been able to find a marriage for Ellen either

                            I have been looking but not coming up with much. On 1911 census does it say what Herberts occupation is as we are looking for him without Ruth on 1901 and if he is mistranscribed it is difficult.

                              Thanks Elaine ...

                              I will make a note of the info as you never know when it will be needed

                              I wonder why she is not with her 'husband' - unfortunatly all I know about him is his name !

                              Finding her marriage ( and that of her sister Ellen ) is proving a bit hard !

                                  I haven't actually seen the 1911 entry so I'm not sure about Herberts details - I do know they were living in New Cross SE8 at the time.

                                  also they would have 3 other daughters with them

                                  ( Gladys ) Winifred b. 1903 Islington
                                  Mabel b. 1606 Greenwich
                                  Gladys Violet b. 1908 Greenwich

                                        Looking at the 1911 census might help - at least you would have his occupation which might help tie him into a couple of possibles on the 1901 census.
