http://bcconnections.tribalpages.com/tr ... =434501956

[grangers14]

1891 Census
Cradley Forge, Kingswinford
John Shaw, head, 44, Shingler(?)
Rebecca, wife, 38,
Edith C, daur, 4,
All born England

[Tonibunny]

If anyone has free access to 1911, that would give the number of years they were married, which would let us narrow down the marriage in the GRO index. They don't appear to have married in the Black Country as I can't find them on the West Midlands BMD site

[peterd]

linell has here buried c1900 and edith c 1904 ?

[Jimmy]

I can't see a local marriage. According to BCC, Rebecca died 1900.

But the one who died in 1900 was born about 1859, but on the 1891 census she was born about 1853.

West Midlands Death 1900.
SHAW Rebecca. Kingswinford. Dudley Register Office. KIN/092/56.

Deaths Mar 1900.
Shaw Rebecca,age 41. Stourbridge. 6c. 139.

BCC as Edith Caroline dying 1904,

Deaths Sep 1904.
Shaw Edith, age 0. Stourbridge. 6c. 88.

Wrong Age.

But there is this marriage,

West Midlands Marriage 1914.
SHAW Edith C, BIGGS William H. Cradley Heath, St Luke. Sandwell Register Office. 20/6/255.

Interesting....so is that Edith marrying

did she die in 1904
cant be her if that one is a baby and she is on the 1891 age 4

Lin where did you get the info on her dying 1904?
do you have the death cert?

[linell]

No she didn't die, I found this in 1911; 55 Graingers Lane Cradley Heath:-

BIGGS, William Head Married M 64 1847 Boot Repairer Netherton Worcestershire
BIGGS, Mary Wife Married
44 years F 62 1849 Dudley Wood Netherton Worcestershire
SHAW, Edith Boarder Single F 24 1887 Kettle Tinner Quarry Bank Staffs

Can you check the Biggs Marriage NL, to make sure Edith's father was John a Shingler.

Many thanks from Linell.

well done you!
rite I will add that one

so Rebecca dies 1900
who is she?

West Midlands Death 1900.
SHAW Rebecca. Kingswinford. Dudley Register Office. KIN/092/56.

Deaths Mar 1900.
Shaw Rebecca,age 41. Stourbridge. 6c. 139.

This could be the right one, on Ancestry it says age 33 in 1891.

John Shaw 46.
Rebecca Shaw 33.
Edith C Shaw 4.

hard to make out on Image.

[linell]

Hi NL, I never found a Marriage for John and Rebecca John was previously Married to Caroline Deeley.

Later from Linell.

[Jimmy]

1881.
John Shaw 35.
Caroline Shaw 35.
Shophia Shaw 15.
Mititosa Shaw 12.
Ann Shaw 10.
Lydia Shaw 8.

It looks like this is Caroline's death reg.

Deaths Dec 1883.
SHAW Caroline. 39, Stourbridge. 6c. 136.

So if he did marry Rebecca it would be after 1883.

[Northern Lass]

for that birth certif and me purse is empty!

Completed for now on
