Found a Marriage1905
HACKETT Alfred FERRABY Ethel Halesowen, St John the Baptist 014/008/282

I wonder if it's the same couple as on Connections?
See here:

Looks good Mally might need the marriage to confirm unless anyone knows any more...Linell??

Or clues on the census?

Hi NL and Mallosa, thanks for the info, it is more than likely to be Alfred Hackett born 1889, son of Alfred and Sarah, I have the family in Hill Street Hasbury in 1891 and 1901. Hadn't got as far looking for a Marriage for Alfred, so thanks for that Mallosa, will have to check the Marriage details. Alfred was only 16 when he Married then?? Best Wishes from linell.

Ok so this looks like it could be a possible so Mally add it to the look up and we can verify it and then add it to connections - maybe put a note on at this stage eh?

O'k, sorted

Okedoke can we archive this whilst waiting for look ups which may be a while!


so unless otherwise advised this topic will be moved to archived section within 24 hrs pending look up at archives

Bringing this back as the father is a John!
So not the Alfred we thought on Connections.

Can we find out who the parents of Alfred are- father is a John a collier

I think it is that one FS
but that puts him b abt 88/89
and yet he is supposed to be b 1885 accord to marr and death info

so what do we think
I cant see another on ances better than that.

How about this Mount st Hasbury prior to his marriage in 1905?

Can we find who is on the 1901 census at Mount st Hasbury - perhaps that is where his parents are living
anyone got access to that street?
we can go via Ancestry but it is longwinded....bit like me.....

cos that age worries me

ok went for a walk up Mount Street
found this but no Alfred
