  • How do I find the wife again?

    Thomas Clay married Jane but she is not listed on Freebmd. How do I find her name again?

    Here is the freeebmd info:

    Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
    Marriages Jun 1858
    Clay Thomas Lambeth 1d 511
    Hayhow Henry Lambeth 1d 511
    Upward Fanny Elizabeth Lambeth 1d 511

    I know he married a Jane as I found them on the census.

    I forgot I have found a copy of the marriage cert on TP. The name is on it.

      Obviously, you now have her name. But to solve the mystery - is it Jane Corre? II think 511 was mistranscribed as 571.

        yes it is. How did you work it out though? I looked at the image for Thomas and it looked like 511 to me.

          Yes, 511 is correct - it's Jane's entry that's wrong. I entered a search on Ancestry for Lambeth, volume 1d, for the quarter and year of Thomas's marriage and with first name Jane. Then I clicked through to find an entry where there were more men than women listed. I then checked the image of the Jane I found - Jane Corre - and saw that it actually said 511 not 571, and thus matched your data for Thomas.

            Have you advised FreeBMD of the error? They will put it right for you.

                A correction - I meant "more women than men" listed - i.e. Jane Corre was a stray woman without a husband
