Looking for the marriage of William Henry Neat(e) of Berkshire to an Elizabeth from Ross. First child Elizabeth Neate was born c1870 in Scotland also. By 1871 they were back in England.

Can do Ancestry and US lookups in return.

Thanks,

Rose

Rose,

I just did a search, sorry got no credits left, and getting no matches for William Neat or Neate between 1871 and 1881


Likewise no matches for a birth of Elizabeth

Thanks Maureen.

The 1871 census has the daughter born in Scotland but the 1881 says London and I've been unable to find a marriage in England for her parents or a birth for her.

Rose,

Are the dates correct?

Elizabeth c1880 but then you say she is on 1871 census.


One match in 1870 but no credits left to view search results or images

No problem Betty :)

It helps sometimes to have two people looking, just incase one person misses it.

Strange IGI have Elizabeth's birth as Dec 1869 but Scotlands people have it as 1870!! Maybe one is the birth and one the christening.

Are Scottish births registered in quarters like England and Wales? If they took a few days to register it that would explain it appearing in 1870.

The birth will have been registered in 1870, even though the birth was in 1869, thats why it appears in that year.

I have a few like that. I have one guy born in late 1855! but wasnt registered till 1856...if only they'd only registered it earlier i would have another one of those great 1855 certs.

Knowing she was a McDonald is great. 2 of William and Elizabeth's children had the unusual name of Suter as a first or middle name.

This must be her relatives in 1871:

1871 Scotland Census
about Suter McDonald
Name: Suter McDonald
Age: 14
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1857
Relationship: Daughter
Father's Name: James
Mother's Name: Elizabeth
Gender: Female
Where born: Urquhart, Ross-Shire
Registration Number: 84
Registration district: Urquhart and Logie Wester
Civil Parish: Urquhart
County: Ross and Cromarty
Address: Crocher
ED: 4
Page: 3 (click to see others on page)
Household schedule number: 11
Line: 16
Roll: CSSCT1871_14
Household Members: Name Age
Alexander McDonald 20
Elizabeth McDonald 58
James McDonald 59
Suter McDonald 14
James Neale 3


James Neale is listed as a grand child. He must be a Neate. Looks like they married before 1868 now.

The birth cert of Elizabeth should have their marriage date on it...or what they gave as a marriage date.

I think so too. They were around the St Martin in the Fields area in 1871, which is close.

Have now found Elizabeth McDonald on earlier censuses and her birth on IGI.
