would you like a copy of the certificate?

to confirm Violet's marriage


West Yorkshire, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1935

Name: Violet Stocks
Birth Year: abt 1903
Age: 17
Marriage or Bann Date: 25 Dec 1920
Parish: Holbeck, St John and St Barnabas
>>>>Father's Name: Charles Best
Spouse's Name: Richard Atkinson
Spouse's Father's Name: Richard Atkinson


occupations of Richard Atkinson, Violet Stocks and Charles Best -

Surgical gut makers (I think!) - sounds horrible

witnesses - Willie Bee and Grace Smith

No I am not a descendant,
I am doing this research for a very close friend of mine and John Arthur Wright is
her mother's great uncle.

My friend wanted to find out about her family as it's quite interresting what info we have found.
I have already done her father's side of the family and she wanted me to have a look at her mother's side. so that is where John Arthur Comes into it.

Yes he must have been a busy little bee.
Think he may have done a runner from Leeds and then come back just before the 1911 Census.

Bet he didn't know about Violet until well after she was born.

Are you descended from John Wright? Looks like he had a busy time in 1902 after getting out of the army, fathering (probably) one child born Q2/1903 and then another in Q3. Must have been all that time in Africa. :-D

Yes it is Best when I magnified the image so have let FMP know a transcription error.they will more than likely look at it and put the surname right in about a month.


The only marriage I have found for Violet is one in 1 Dec qtr 1920.,she would have been 17 to a Richard Atkinson

There another 2 but they are in 1944 and 1950.

Have you found a marriage for Minnie? Image states they have been married 2 years with one child who has died.

added: I'm not convinced either trancription is right - have you looked at the original, it looks more like Best to me. And the marriage in 1908 has him as Charley Best on the image.

Flip thanks for all your help.

Yes I thought it would be Violet Stocks..

Told you your a STAR.Detective Flip..

Just putting the 1911 on from FMP as it is BENT for the marriage or BEST but couldn't find a Minnie Best in 1911 so changed it to Bent..and whey hey it came up trumps.

Thanks
Sue

There's a second record for him, he transferred to reserves on his discharge in 1904. 3 more pages coming through by PM - looks like he was called up for WW1, and has a maintenance order for a child born in 1903!

Hi Flip.


Yes Filmer Lushington Crosoer as above birth we think is John Arthur's child (not got birth cert yet) but he is with them on the 1911 census in Leeds.

Think he was the easiest one to find out od the children.

Sue

I guess you have this birth, and as you know John was dischared in 1902 so may (or may not) have been his father before their marriage - who knows??.

Births Jun 1903 (>99%)

CROSOER Filmer Lushington Dover 2a 1122

What a name to saddle a baby with!!!

OOPS, didn't realise Filmer was a christian name, never heard of it so sorry to all you Filmer's out there

:-) :-)

No problem, glad to have helped!

They should have come through by now, I'll try again.

Flip,
That looks like him Flip.
will await the images
