Dear Pamela I can't find any James Groves born IoW in that time frame on any of the censuses from 1861 to 1901, but on 1871 there is a Henry Groves, could he have been using his 2nd name like many did? Henry Groves born abt 1849 East cowes, living at Northwood, Hampshire. He has a wife Jane born abt 1852 in West cowes, and they have a son, John, born abt 1871 also at West cowes. On his marriage certificate to Catherine Elizabeth, does it say if he was a bachelor or widower? That entry in 1871 would match up with the 1881 entry of Henry Groves born abt 1851 East Cowes with wife Elizabeth born abt 1860 at Southampton and a son James born abt 1879 East Cowes. 1891 there is Henry Groves born abt 1849 Isle of wight living at Portsea with wife Elizabeth born abt 1859 Southampton, and son James born abt 1879 Portsmouth, a daughter Kate born abt 1884 Portsmouth, and a son richard born abt 1886 Portsmouth. Can send you the images if you think this is the correct Henry? Kind regards, Jon -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
