You need to at least LOOK at the marriage info I posted………..and the info which greyghost posted

Erika, excuse me but I have indeed looked at all the info. i had already explored that marriage firstly but then dismissed it for several reasons.

I am always extremely grateful for any help and only ever ask when im really stuck.

I am trying to cut down on ordering certificates where possible as its expensive and this tree i am doing for a friend is extremely huge. Sometimes the only way to be exact is to order. i cant do that until next week when the offices are open again.

When people suddenly appear in areas away from where they were born, you always ask yourself how would they travel back in say 1871. Very few people travelled, they didnt have cars. So whilst there is a possibility of a marriage happening 100 miles away from where they were born, i always approach with caution looking nearer to home.

Of course i shall look again at all the info and yes maybe you are correct but please dont speak to me in the tone you have just now.

If & when i get the certs, I shall of course come back & let you know what I found out.

Thankyou for all your help

See also the details of the records re Maria Moore, nee Flatman.
For example, place of birth shown on the censuses - Thorpe Abbott.

If people post info which fits the criteria, why dismiss it?

My post was born out of exasperation

Florence, that William and Maria whose children you listed are incorrect.

If you check the GRO site birth index, there are 4 Howard births mmn Flatman in the period 1851-1861 that I could readily find.

Namely Rebecca 1851, George 1857, Ada 1859, and Frederick 1861.

No sign of the Howard children you listed with mmn Flatman.

This tallies with a family of Howards living in Church Rd Wortham in 1861 census. He is aged 38, Maria aged 45, both born Wortham.

That tallies with the baptism of a Maria Flatman baptised Jan 1816 Wortham, daur of JAMES Flatman and Elizabeth Rolfe.

Can't cut and paste as on tablet, but will try and dm you the image of baptism .

To conclude, the William and Maria Howard you found in the census are not the couple who married in 1850, and the Maria Flatman who married William Howard in 1850 was the daughter of a JAMES Flatman, not THOMAS Flatman.

Most (all?) of the above was already posted on page 1.

So I might as well also repeat that William Flatman in the 1861 census is NOT Maria's brother.

Repeating his birth record from page 1:

FLATMAN, WILLIAM mmn COLMAN
GRO Reference: 1843 D Quarter in DEPWADE Volume 13 Page 49

Maria's mother's mn was West. Some of Maria's siblings' births are listed on
page 1.

I did read the first page but other marriages were also suggested so I followed through on what looks like the right marriages

Did check for William but couldn’t find him as a brother but assumed he couid be family connected

It was just to keep things on what seems to be the right track

:-D
