If you get one of the childrens B/C it will give you their mums name..then you can look for a marriage

Sorry...please can you clarify?

Who is James 1900?
Was he the father of the children and you think he married about 1900?
Is he named as the father on the marriage cert of one of them?
What was his occupation?

With the name of Bull you'll still need one of the B/C for Mums name

Which was your direct ancestor, ...was it Winifred?
That is probably the most unusual name, so I would look for her marriage to find her father's name and occupation and hope to find him in 1901.
You could order her birth cert. stating her father must be James...( or whatever)
Don't state occupation as this may have changed.
Have you looked on freebmd site?

thats the same one for Winifred ,as i said you have six weeks to reg the birth so may well have been born Nov/Dec 1906 and reg early jan 1907 thus making her reg in the mar qtr 1907.

My dad was born Dec 1907 and his reg comes under mar Qtr 1908 cos his mum reg him in mid Jan 1908

Hi Christine .That birth of Nov 1906 would tie with the birth being reg early Jan 1907 . is it the original copy because it may give you the issue date i think.

You need to order the full cert with the GRO ref given and this will give you her mums full name which you will need to find the parents marrige.

It seems unlkely the first 4 children were born so close together. Every 2 years is more common.

There's this:

Marriages Sep 1902
Bull James Bethnal G. 1c 316
Wedge Annie Bethnal G. 1c 316

Births Sep 1920
Bull Dorothy Wedge W. Ham 4a 69

But there is another Wedge/Bull marriage in the area and she could belong to them.
