I have a death record for 1921 and its says she was 68 when died. Gives her a birth date of 1853.

[NickToye]

bah, that Death Record is for the Ellen Walford born in 1853 Kempsey - but then the name is Toye. Could it be a coincidence that 2 Ellen Walfords married into the Toye family in the same district of Stourbridge?

[Jimmy]

Have you got the marriage cert for Edwin Toye and Ellen Walford.

[NickToye]

Have you got the marriage cert for Edwin Toye and Ellen Walford.

Nope just the Marriage Index:

[NickToye]

Going to cost £23 for the marriage certificate. Will have to wait until next month to get hold of that.

Going to cost £23 for the marriage certificate. Will have to wait until next month to get hold of that.

should only be £9 for marriage cert ?

[NickToye]

With Delivery it says £23 quid.

[NickToye]

How can it be £9?

[Jimmy]

It depends where you order it from.

[Jimmy]

From this you can't be sure who married who.

TAYE Edwin. Stourbridge. 6c. 183.
UNDERHILL. William. Stourbridge. 6c. 183.
WALFORD Ellen. Stourbridge. 6c. 183.
Wright Betsy. Stourbridge. 6c. 183.

[NickToye]

Well I am pretty sure Ellen Walford married Edwin Taye (Toye).

[NickToye]

although not sure why his name went down as Taye.

This looks like it is the one from Kempsey.
