Find Ancestors

Hello, I would be very grateful if anyone could help me find the family of Martha Clements born around 1885 from the West Ham area. Martha married Joseph Starbuck in 1905 in West Ham. I have researched the Clements side but am unsure if I have it all correct. Any help would be very much appreciated
(on the original post i had martha being born in 1865 i had to change date of birth to 1885 sorry)

Do you have the marriage certificate which should give her father's name:-

Registration District: West Ham
County: Essex
Year of Registration: 1905
Quarter of Registration: Apr-May-Jun
Spouse's last name: Not available before 1912

Hi Kath, no I haven't got a marriage cert for Martha and Joseph. Maybe I could get one just to make sure on Martha's father

Thank you

It could well be the correct family as the Clements and the Stabucks did work on the Docks in London

Thank you all for your help. Only one more thing can anyone find

In the notes I have just found I had Harry's parents as Thomas Clements b.1833 Halestead Essex and Susannah (Sarah Ann) b.1823 Barking Essex???? Not too sure now considering Harry may have been born in 1858 or 1861 West Ham or Romford?? And Romford was just down the road from West Ham back in those days?? All very confusing??

I think you will have to purchase Harry's marriage cert to confirm who his father was.

Yes I think I will need to get a marriage cert, but it does look like Harry's parents were William and Elizabeth and William worked on the Docks as did Harry.
Thank you ever so much for all your help x
