Find Ancestors

Hi peeps,

Was wondering if anyone already had this information.

I've come to a dead end

I'm looking for William Mogford, born c1843, father of Percy Mogford. He was married to Eliza ??? , born c1849, in Kent, the 1901 census says Canterbury.

I have found Eliza Harding Dunn, born 1849, married in Tiverton 1864 .
also found
Eliza Lockyer, born 1849/1850, married in St Thomas 1862.

Have no idea which one it is.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks Sam :-D

Sam when was Percy born? You may have to get his birth cert to get his mother's maiden name

You will have to buy one of their childrens certs to see mums name or but both marriage certs . either way seems you will have to get two certs. i would opt for a child's birth cert

Oh I see you have put a Postem on FreeBMD about Percy. Unless someone has the same ancestors as you they are not going to have the information. Sometimes you just have to buy the certificate. Like many people on here I have dozens of certs bought over the years, it is the only way to be truly accurate

Hi Rutlandbelle - Jennifer

Percy was born in 1886 . I think you are right, i'm going to have to buy the certificate

Sam

If this is him in 1871 then he was still unmarried:

>>>William Mogford 28 unmarried/visitor

well it could be Eliza Joslin this is her in 1851 but I personally would have to buy the birth cert of Percy to be sure;

Name: Eliza Joslin
Age: 4
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1847
Relation: Daughter
Father's name: William Joslin
Mother's name: Mary A Joslin
Gender: F (Female)
Where born: Canterbury, Kent, England

Civil parish: Canterbury St Peter
County/Island: Kent
Country: England

ah.. that's probably him, thanks for that i'll look at later marriages. I think i've been looking at it to long. need a cup of tea.

i though Mogford was an unusual name, little did I know it wasn't in Devon :-D

PS. just to say never pay more than £9 25 for a cert as some sites want to charge extortionate amounts of money.

that interesting, place & year looking good Eliza Joslin.

your right going have to buy GrandPa Percy's birth certificate

A variation to the Joslin surname;

I would say that William Mogford did marry Eliza Joslin in kensington 1871.
