Yes, that's the right marriage. He's 27 on their marriage certificate and she says she's 18, so he loses 4 years and she gains 3.

Cheers

That's certainly her from the census. Her dad was Henry Thomas and her mum Mary Ann Elizabeth Aston. And that would be her death too. She lived to a fine old age!

Thanks!

Yes, I'm sure that's his death. He was certainly dead by 1961 when his youngest daughter remarried.

Thanks for the census info. Great help from this side of the world.

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone has any info about William Allen Dale - born 1878 - who married Edith May Preest in 1912. The records for their children's baptisms are on the site here and also lots of useful info about the Preest family where Edith May originated. But I have a feeling William Dale may have been married before. I'm trying to use census records to narrow down the possibilities and it's proving challenging to say the least!

Any little bit of info would be greatly appreciated

Thank you

Cheers! (and I hope you don't mind an Aussie being so nosy)

No I haven't seen that family. I've been looking in the Congleton area mostly because the info I had is that he lived around there and was a coal hewer all his life. But I will certainly check it out.

Thank you so much.

Yes, that's definitely them. Their children's birth certificates are in English as well as Welsh,

Cheers!

Have you checked out this family?
