James,

Can you hang on for an hour or so?

I have John's Army records on Ancestry - these confirm that this is the correct marriage.

They have Mary (23/9/09) + Alice dob 12th May, 1914 + John William b. 25/6/1917.

They lived at 106 Pereira Street, Bethnal Green.

I am SO behind with cooking dinner but if you can hang on I will look through the records and see what else they come up with.

I have looked it all up, just so i am clear there parents possible did not marry untill1917? and Mary born 1909 could have been registered in her mothers name, whereas Alice is registered in her fathers name, should i order these certificate to confirm all this, thank you so much for your help.

I Had that one, but all the relations seem to be from St George in the East, in the 1911 census john Rowe is 44 Alice was born in 1914, then there was a another daughter Florence and son George, putting the parents both at about 50 when the last was born i no its not impossibly and John occupation in 1911 is a coal miner, on the marriages of the daughters he is a builders labourer???
What do you think and thank you so much for replying.

What do you know about Alice?

How old was she when she married?

And you haven't answered my question about Mary's age on the wedding day

Tracy

Tracy Report 28 Mar 2010 11:38

On the Marriage certificate it looks like Builders Laborer on the first marriage 1932 in 1935 its the same but has (decd)
you think it would be easy with the nans being sisters.
