Hi Northern Lass . Thanks for info. He is married to Emma Bates as on 1881 census, I have their marriage cert, but I can't find out where he was in1871. He was a batchelor when he married Emma in 1880 in Edgebaston. Any ideas? Dumblonde

Do you have her parents at all?

Emma's father was George Bates occupation Smith

What is George's fathers name on the marriage cert, there is this one that fits the age.

Birth, 24 SEP 1844.
Christening, 26 DEC 1848, Saint Phillips, Birmingham, Warwick,

Thanks for that Jimmy but I think we have got our wires crossed. I have found John Worrall's birth cert, he was born in Walsall Foreign 18/9/1847 - I just wanted to find out where he disappeared to in 1871, before he got married. I hope that I haven't put you to too much trouble. I must have been having a blonde day or summat!

This is now completed, thanks for your help.
