Hi there, I have already sent this to the Edwards-uk list but they haven't answered me. Perhaps you can help me find them please? Hi there, I am new to this list and need some help please? I need to find a marriage for Richard Edwards to a Sarah ? Their family in the 1891 census were: RG12, PIECE 233 FOILO 18 PAGE 30 REG DISTRICT Holborn Sub Districe White Cross Street Parish St Lukes Address 46 Banner Street, St Lukes London , Richard Edwards born 1855 Dairyman Llanthystyd Cardiganshire Sarah Edwards born 1859 Llangammarch Brecknockshire John R born1884 Islington London Mary A 1886 Islington Sarah 1888 St Lukes London Evan 1891 Clerkenwell London Hoping that someone can help me in this matter. Thanks very much in advance. Diane

Hi Diane I suspect you may struggle with this one without buying one of the childrens birth certs (as that will record the mothers maiden name) At no point in the census 1891 to 1911 do either use a second name or have a member of the family at home that might give a clue at to her birth name In 1911 it records the years of the marriage as 28, so suggesting a marriage in or around 1883 (although that was recorded by them so may or may not be correct, no checks were made as to the validity of the information) Searching around on Ancestry and freebmd, there are several possible marriages The following was the best match although you would need more information before claiming it as theirs Marriages Sep 1883 Davies Sarah Builth 11b 105 Edwards Richard Builth 11b 105 The most likely birth reg for one of the children is this one for John Richard England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915 about John Richard Edwards Name: John Richard Edwards Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1884 Registration district: Islington Inferred County: Greater London, London, Middlesex Volume: 1b Page: 387 If you do go down this path I would suggest ordering with *no GRO reference* and stating parents as Richard and Sarah That way if its not your John Richard they would not charge (unless by real bad fortune there was another Richard and Sarah EDWARDS having children in the same place and time as yours) Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 29/06/2012 22:33, Diane wrote: > Hi there, I have already sent this to the Edwards-uk list but they > haven't answered me. > > Perhaps you can help me find them please? > > Hi there, I am new to this list and need some help please? > > I need to find a marriage for > > Richard Edwards to a Sarah ? > > Their family in the 1891 census were: > RG12, > PIECE 233 > FOILO 18 > PAGE 30 > REG DISTRICT Holborn > Sub Districe White Cross Street > Parish St Lukes > Address 46 Banner Street, St Lukes London > , > > Richard Edwards born 1855 Dairyman Llanthystyd Cardiganshire > Sarah Edwards born 1859 Llangammarch Brecknockshire > John R born1884 Islington London > Mary A 1886 Islington > Sarah 1888 St Lukes London > Evan 1891 Clerkenwell London > > Hoping that someone can help me in this matter. > > > Diane
