Hi everyone, I have a bit of a confusing situation and I have looked at it so long I am confusing myself!
I seem to have two marriage records in the English BDM’s listed for a Frederick John Harding Kibble.
One states that Frederick J H Kibble married Kate E Hubbard in September 1913 in Leicester, Leicestershire, Volume 7A page 652.
The second states that Frederick J H Kibble married Evelyn Hubbard in the July/August/Sept quarter in 1922 in the Registration district of Foleshill, Registration County of Warwickshire. Volume 6d page 1457.
I can next locate two birth records of an Edwin Harding Kibble born 1913 and Mary E kibble born 1913 both in Leicester, Warwickshire.
The Kibble family then emigrated from London, England aboard the ship Barrabool, arriving in Sydney, New South Wales on 27 November 1922. The passenger manifest shows that the Kibble family consisted of Frederick (30), Male, Farmer, Eveline (25), Edwin (9) and Mary E (7).
Now I cannot locate any birth record of an Evelyn or Eveline Hubbard matching the age given in the passenger manifest (25) so I would expect her born about 1897, nor any census returns.
I can locate a Kate Hubbard in the 1891, 1901 and then in the 1911 census where she is shown as residing with her Uncle and Aunt Thomas and Ann Hubbard. Kate is aged 22, her occupation is Housework and she is shown as born in Smockington, Leicestershire. However Kate is to young for the age of 25 shown on the manifest. I would expect her age to be about 33 and born in 1889.
I am a bit puzzled why there would be two different marriage records for Frederick. It’s an unusual name as well. I tried to locate a death of Kate in case Frederick married her sister or cousin but I can’t find anything like that.
I can trace Frederick and Evelyn in the Australian Electoral Roles after they arrived and Frederick is always shown as a Farmer and Evelyn engaged in Hime Duties.
I have probably missed something obvious so a new pair of eyes would be greatly appreciated!
Regards
Rachelle
