Thankyou Jan i did find that one, but i have my great grandparents marriage certificate and according to that they married in 1913 in Prittlewell Essex and they both past away In Essex.

Sorry the dates don't match up with the one above. That is why i am at a loss as that was the closest i could find

Hi Other Susan, so are you saying then, that Eliza's parent's married after she was born in 1913?

Susan

Susan Report 21 Nov 2010 14:46

Hi Susan
According to their marriage certificate they must have.

(Other Susan)
As you say, there is no Lilian Maud Crane on the 1911. If she was in fact born about 1877, it is quite possible that she had been married before.

Thats the one.

So still totally lost, none of it makes any sense.

What age does it give for Lilian and Ernest on their marriage cert?
And does it give their fathers names and occupations?

Susan

Susan Report 21 Nov 2010 15:05

Both 36 years old,

Susan (the poster!)

What is Ernest's own occupation on the marriage certificate?

I'm trying to find that address you gave in your first post in the 1911, but no joy so far.

Susan

Susan Report 21 Nov 2010 15:34

MarieCeleste

MarieCeleste Report 21 Nov 2010 15:37

Yes, just been looking on maps too, it just doesn't seem to be listed in census!

Will keep looking because that address could be a good clue.
