Find Ancestors

Looking through my notes I think I do have a likely birth Maud Mary J born in Shoreditch in 1906 sounds probable. I may take a chance on that.

Thanks again everyone. I think I will have my work cut out trying to sort out any births here, if you do find a birth at the time you think is right if there is no way of identifying the parents it could be anyone and I have sent for quite enought certificates in my time and found they were not the ones I wanted, I am loathe to do it anymore. Have experienced births before marriage in my Grandmothers case. she married after having 5 children and went on to have more.

honestly it is very possible because a lady my great great great grandad married had 10 children altogether and we couldnt believe it when we found another 2 children born from same mother last child was born when she was 47!. we kept thinking he remarried but all 10 children were from her he was 15 years younger than her.

Was Mary Jane a spinster?
You may find she already had a child / children.

I have the marriage cert, for a great uncle who married around that time and with a similar age gap.
They were known to have had no children, ....but... when she died as a widow, her daughter was the informant.....Research showed she was born about 14 years before they married.

Certainly plenty of Chapmans born around that time in Shoreditch at least 70 from 1905 to 1916

Thanks everyone - I will look into the possibility of any children. I do have marriage certificate which was at the end of the year - December 1904 - so any children born to them would be in 1905 or maybe a bit later on.

This is the marriage:

These may certainly be cousins...worth looking at

I guess the answer would be.... Yes!

If she was a fit, strong, health woman.. I can't see why she should not have kids.

Are these related?

Does anyone think there is any point in looking for descendents from Edward Alfred Chapman 1878 who married Mary Jane Turton 1865 in 1904 when he was 28 years old and she was 39. I know women were still having babies at that age but is there any chance that a woman would have had a first child at that age.
