Hi all, My first post to this new list. Lets see if this second attempt at posting this query works. I have actually deleted all my previous research that became infested with erroneous information supposedly sourced but not adequately proven. So my search is for Clara Jane Howe b.1879 Ipswich. Parents are John Howe m. Rosanna ? according to 1881 census. Clara was married at least 2 or probably 3 times to – 1st - 1911 Alexander George F Thacker, Suffolk 2nd or probably 3rd - 1944 George D Jamieson, Welton, Lincs On this m. cert George D Jamieson (my Grdfather) is recorded as Henry George Davidson Jamieson, a widower. Clara has her name recorded as Ward and a widow. Father John Howe (deceased). So was Clara actually married a 3rd time to a Ward ? I do not think the Ward name was used to confuse/hide anything as the fathers name is recorded correctly as Howe. Any help would be much appreciated. George

Hi Nivard, You've given me so much I need to read through it slowly and not on this phone. Thanks for pointing out the date issue. Dont believe I fell foul of that basic error. I will respond more fully this evening but here I can confirm one piece of information - 17 Jun 1944 in registry office Welton, Lincs. Henry George Davidson Jamieson, aged 64, widower, Engineers fitter, Station Road, Bardney. Father John Jamieson (decd) Gen Lab. Clara Ward, 65, Widow, Station Road, Bardney. Fthr John Howe (decd) Carter. Wits. J Todd and O (seems to have a tail so could be a Q) Dickenson. This modern green cert. contains scanned copy of what I am assuming is original reg. entry and was supplied by GRO. Thanks again. I'll add to this later. George in Hertfordshire. ps I've spent years lurking on the Lincs list so recognised your name instantly.

If so I would be inclined to check with the holders of the registers for Welton or better still the parish register if a church marriage The GRO being a transcript is prone to error, might there have been a clerical error between the local office and the GRO ?

First thing I can suggest is check her birth registration on the GRO website. This will give her mother's maiden name. FreeBMD will not give it. FindMyPast has updated so they will also likely give it. If you don't have a subscription with FindMy Past the GRO website is free but you will need to register as if you were going to request a copy of the document. But no fee to register.

Hi Mel, Thanks for the quick reply. Up till this point most of my paternal side research has been through Scotlandspeople. So a bit spoilt for easy and cheap access to certs etc. As i mentioned i have scrapped all the previous research. Most of which was subject to errors from enthusiastic but inexperienced researches. I actually stopped active research on my maternal side about 5 years ago. This situation is the reason I don't do Ancestry or FinMyPast etc. I will try the GRO website. Hoping I might hear from researchers of these names on the list.

Hi Julia, Thank you very much for that information. It gives me something to work on. Any ideas as to why her surname is recorded as Ward, a widow, on her m. cert. to my grdfather. As her father is recorded as John Howe that must mean she was m. to a Ward. I've not been able to find this marriage. I'm keen to find this Ward family group as there was supposedly a son of Clara called Ike. Not sure of spelling of Ike or if it is an abbreviated nickname. I am wondering if Ike was a Ward or in fact Ike Thacker. I have Clara m.1911 Alex. Geo. F Thacker., Suffolk. My grdfather and Clara m.1944 Welton, Lincs. I have m. cert. They d. Bardney, Lincs 1952 and 1963 respectively. Thanks again. I will get certs. to prove it all.
