Hi List I'm needing help with my family research. Plain stuck, stuck stuck. 3Xs stuck with three branches or families of the same tree all in Wales My first problem is: BOURNE family I have the marriage certificate for Isaac Edward CLAYDEN and Mary BOURNE 5 Dec 1914 Newport Monmouthshire. Isaac's side of the family I have chased back to the 1841 census........no problems there. Mary is another story. Here is what I have from the marriage certificate. She is a 19yo Spinster launderer living at 10 Lilleshall Rd, Newport. Father's name George His occupation: Bar cutter at Ironworks. Two witnesses: Edward William BOURNE and Caroline BOURNE. My problem is I don't find Mary BOURNE's birth 1895 anywhere....Wales or England. I don't find any census with Mary BOURNE b abt 1895 that would fit with what I have. I do find in the 1901 and 1891 census in Hampshire a family with Father George William, Mother Caroline and a son Edward William ........ No Mary. George is a gardener on both census. Any thoughts and help would be much appreciated. Thanks Cya Lynn in Sun Baked Queensland, Australia Sure a real job would be nice, but it would interfere with my genealogy.
