On the image of the 1901 census, it looks more like Rosannah than Susannah ....... a transcriber's error.

Mary,


May I just say that if you had given us that information from the 1901 census in the first place, it would have been a lot faster finding the information for you!!!


That census tells us not only the children (and it is often easier to find children), but it also gives us the birth dates and birth places of the Charles and Roseannah.

We would also have been widening our search quite a bit.

They didn't marry until 1895


Marriages Dec 1895 (>99%)

Conquest Charles Albert Paddington
Hadley Roseannah Paddington 1a 105

I think it better you send for their MC and find their parents names No point following the wrong line, as there are a few Charles Conquest in london

I've found a Rose* and a William Conquest!!

But not Rose and Charles!

SylviaInCanada Report 22 Oct 2007 20:03

Where did you get the information from??


I cannot find a Charles Conquest marrying a Rose*, nor a Rose* Hadley marrying at all in the period September 18070 to December 1871.



Of course, they may not have married at all, just lived together common-law.

Thank you for replying they are on 1901 census and I know they were married dec 1871 in Paddington.

The best way to find the fathers' names is to buy the marriage certificate from www.gro.gov.uk

It will cost £7
