Hi Su,

Please check your other thread on Records, I have found the married Edith living 1 door away from her brother Frederick Pitcher in 1901.

The groom's father is also William and marked deceased. I wonder if the registrar got confused.

Hi Dea

Thanks for all your help. Really do appreciate it.

I shall also continue after dinner, will probably just have to put it down to human error or family arguments!

Dea Report 26 Mar 2009 17:34

Yes thanks - I HAVE been looking but I can find no more!

It would seem the wedding cert 'lied' ??

I can think of no other explanation.

I will have another look after Dinner but don't think I will find anything - sorry!

Wow, you guys are quick with the answers! I am running backwards and forwards from kitchen to computer - I am preparing a beef stew!

Thanks for all the stuff you have found so far. It would appear that maybe William wasn't dead at the time of the wedding - could have been a mistake on who ever was filling in the form or maybe he just wasnt there.

Anyway, how do I go about getting a baptism check? Where do I go for one of those - is it done online?
