Looking for my great great grandmother, great great grandfather was Noah Roberts b abt 1860, his wife Maria born abt 1861, they married in 1891 I think, then they had my grandfather Joseph in 1894. I have searched Ancestry and cannot find Maria's birth. It may be Bate, Beak,Beakes, appears different on documents.
They got married in Dudley.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi
Thanks for all the information, was not around on Thursday, went to see the Sound of Music, whilst I think the film is great, no sure about the stage play at the Hipp. Cannot decide if I liked it or not. Would have preferred to talk to someone on here.
Joseph Roberts (my grandad) was born in 1894 as I have a copy of his birth certificate. On it it states Maria Roberts formerly Beaks as his mother. However I have a copy of the marriage certificate from St John's Church in Dudley on September 10th 1882 as it states Maria Bates who was 21, father Eli Bates. I cannot find anything further back. Plus I don't know if it was Beakes,Beaks, or Bates. The witnesses was Samuel Bates and James Bagnall, perhaps Maria's mother's maiden name was Bagnall, who knows.

What was Eli's occupation on the marriage cert.
