Hi

Can anyone see a marriage for the above couple? I can't see anything for a Stephen Buckfield (the first child, that I know of, was born in 1869) so, unless theres another, it would have been in the 1860s. The only Stephen Buckfield I can see married in 1889 (possibly their first child, also Stephen).

Thanks,
Clare

:)

Hi Clare,
Where do they hail from?
Regards Vera

Clare

Registration wasn't compulsory untill 1875

He was born in Sutton, Surrey and she born Plexton Kent (according to the census). I would guess they married in Croydon as the Buckfield family lived there and everything else is registered in Croydon. But you never know...

You're joking?

Grrrr

Does this mean I can't get a marriage certificate?

Clare

Where was Stephen & Emma born, not picking them up on the census and if i remember rightly their in Sutton.

The only marriage i can find for an Emma to a Buckfield is to a William in Croydon 1859

She was born in Kent, he was born in Sutton, Surrey. They are in Surrey in all years...but then they dissapear for one census...

According to my dad they were travellers...but then again I've got Stephen's family back to the 1700s all in Croydon so not sure of this now.

Their son Charles' marriage certificate has his father as Stephen and he's stephen on all censuses, so I don't think it's them..

Hi

Quite possible. I do have them as Buckle on one census but I can't find the paper thats I've got it written down on to check the year now!

He's also sometimes down as J Buckfield, although I thought this was just a mistake.

The name Buckfield seems to be recorded wrong alot.

Thanks,
Clare

Yep thats them, with his elder sister and her husband. Never looked at the Joseph bit properly before....his brother Joseph was born in 1833...

Clare

Have you found a birth for Stephen

No

But then again, I haven't found a birth for any of his siblings or children.

Clare

My guy were Gypsies and my Gt G/dad was rigistered as Augustus Lee but he was always know as Henry/Harry.

I found a birth for a William Buckfield

Was Emma a 2nd wife as there's a big gap between the children?

Rose

He would be the right age.....

And that would make sense...well apart from the randomly changing names! :)

Thanks, I guess I'll have to check it out!

Rose,

I'd never noticed that before!

That would have been possible as thats the only age gap over 2 years between all of his kids...except his wife's Emma on all censuses, unless he married two Emmas.....mad, this has happened before somewhere else on my tree..........

Thanks, that's them...I think the mysterious missing year is 1891 now..........well not so mysterious...more annoying.....lol

Might need to order this:
