One year out. I also checked the Keble's gazette but no announcement. I'll try another avenue.  Zion Place is correct   ----- Original Message ---- From: Andy Hedgcock <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, 21 July, 2009 2:58:07 PM Subject: Re: [Isle-of-Thanet] Weird marriage certificate. Can anyone check the original for Holy Trinity Margate for me please? Hi Jackie If my sleuthing is correct I think the parents are Edwin WEBSTER (Barristers clerk) and Sarah Ann BILLOWS ( married 1851 Marylebone District), as on the 1861 census. Ref follows - RG9; Piece: 15; Folio: 107; Page: 72 They have a Kate of the same age. Could Emily on the father's occupation actually be Edwin? I'll keep searching to check this family out.
