Birth Lookups please

Carolann

Journeyman Brummie
I would be grateful for a lookup on these 2 Birth`s please.
Trouble is there parents Joseph Martin and Elizabeth Bennett never married until 1918.So i am not sure if they took the Martin or Bennett
name.

Jane born abt 1906
Ann born abt 1908

Thankyou
Regards
Carol
 
Hi Carol :) your Eliz Bennett may have been married before ?

Jane born about 1906 & Ann born about 1908 will be difficult to trace
as Mothers names rarely given pre 1911 on Birth records/sites.

Do you have,,or best to get Marriage Cert for
Joseph Martin /Eliz Bennett in 1918, this may give prior Married name.

ps Noticed you are researching "Harper"

I have a Edith Florence Harper age 21 spinster in 1897 of 42 Holte Rd
married 1st July 1897 at Reg Office B,ham (ref 6d page 275 3rd Quart)
Groom; Joseph W Morgan age 24 Bricklayer of bk 19 New John St.
Her father a Joseph Harper, His a Thomas Morgan (both bricklayers/dcsd)

Hoping above info is helpful to you,
Cheers JohnY :cool:
 
Hi John,
I have Elizabeth`s Bennet`s and Joseph Martin`s Marriage certificate
it doesn`t say that Elizabeth was married before.
Thankyou anyway.
I haven`t got a Edith F Harper in my tree,i have Joseph Harper born
1828 in Birmingham and his son Joseph born 1867 i have not come across
an Edith,i will certainly have a look.If i find anything i will let you know.
Regards
Carol
