Another marriage cert difficulty!
Not needed for BK6
Can anyone find this man before he married? Thomas JAMES married Selina Harriet OSBORNE in July 1871 at St Stephens Walworth. He gives his address as 293 East Street and his occupation as Engine Driver and age 23. The following censues give age and place of birth as follows: 1881 aged 32 b St Leonard's Shoreditch 1891 aged 43 b London, Spitalfields 1901 aged 52 b London, Spitalfields His occupation is Loco Engine Driver (or similar) on all these census returns. I am trying to trace his father/parents. On the marriage cert he says his father is John JAMES, station master. John is not recorded as dec'd, whereas Selina's father is, and that seems to be correct, so the likelyhood is that Jonh JAMES is alive. I cannot find anyone to fit this criteria, not can I find Thomas before his marriage! Please help!!

I've just been looking at them, Kite.
They are: Samuel and Louisa NORMAN who seem to be a married couple living at the address given for the bride and groom on the marriage cert. (The bride and groom are not there in April 1871 though). Louisa Norman is Selina Osborne's sister, so no help with the James side of things.

Oooh, that looks really hopeful, Val, thank you. I think their address says Eastern Counties Railway!
What do you think it says for John's place of birth? Dorsetshire, something???

Could it say Gloucestershire, Stanway??? The Stanway bit looks possible, I think.
In 1871 there's a John and Margaret James (aged 55 and 54) at Little Bealings Suffolk and he is a Station Master born in the above place. Margaret is from Lancs, Moss Side. The 1861 could be Moss Side for Margaret. That 1861 writing is really rubbish!! What do you think??
