SPRATT ~ Charles Spratt, brass caster, & family

Brock

master brummie
Charles Spratt was born in 1843, the son of James Spratt & Betsy Haywood.
Charles married three times ~ the first two wives were named Ann & his third wife was named Eliza.
If anyone is researching this same family I would be very grateful if you would contact me please.
I have been unable to locate the marriage entry for Charles's marriage to Eliza so any help with this would be most appreciated please, I would especially like to learn of her maiden name & of any info re. their children.

Thank you,
Brock

Hi Suzanne ~ this entry is most definitely worth looking ~ thank you so much.
Could I ask you please, which church does this IGI entry have the marriage taking place at?
I am obviously doing something very wrong because I cannot trace this entry myself!!

Yes, you are right about the birth & death of Maude Elizabeth. I have found Eliza's entry in the 1911 census which actually shows that
she had five children with only one of them still alive in 1911.

Many thanks for your help, it is very much appreciated.
Brock.
 
Hi Brock
The details came from the IGI but it is their pilot scheme. You can select Search Records and there is a drop down box Record Search Pilot.
It doesn't give the actual church though.
