HELP - Stuck with Marriages!!

[echokilo]

Can anyone help me find marriages for the following:

Edward John Blyth (born 1869 Easton Norfolk) married an Emma (born 1870 Hethersett) - what is her maiden name?

John Blyth (born 1832 Swardeston, Norfolk) married a Lucy (born 1831 Wymondham) - what is her maiden name?

Albert John Hinton Lea (born 1878, Hackney) - who did he marry?

James Lea (born 1813, Cheswardine, Shrops) married either Mary Rodenhurst or Mary Cliff - which one?


Been on this for hours - answers must be out there - can you help? TIA

Edward John is a bit weird......he's saying he's single in the 1891 census yet that he's been married for 21 years in the 1911 census.
I've checked original marriage records from 1889 to 1892 and can't find anything. Will have to look for mis-spellings........

John Blyth married Lucy Bennett 1853 Q4 Vol 4b Page 543 Henstead

Nope sorry I give in...........I'd go for Enoch Lea's birth certificate to get Mary's maiden name.

Thanks Craft - anything on the Albert John Hinton Lea one?

Also James Lea (1813 Cheswardine) is the furthest back I have got - yet I have found a grave record for John Hinton Lea (1768 - 1842) at St Swithun's in Cheswardine - am convinced he is James' father - any idea how I might prove it?

TIA - again!!

I found a possible marriage for Albert: Jun 1900 West Ham RD, Albert John H Lea and Emily Tarling. There's an entry in 1901 for Albert Lee age 22, Emily Lee age 24 and 2 month old Albert Lee at 101 Oakfield Road in the CP of East Ham and the RD of West Ham. Next door was James Tarling and family.

There's a formula for searching the GRO marriage Index with the ancestry files, it should work but relies on ancestry having transcribed the GRO index correctly and the GRO index being accurate against the original registrations.

I've looked at all the emmas born in thethersett that were alive in 1871 and traced probably marriage entries for each one and then reentered their marriage references and dates and RD district to identify their spouse in the index and so far noen match with a blythe, the possibility is that emma was married a second time to a blythe.

With Lucy, I checked the IGI for a birth o a lucy baptised in Wymundham in the correct or close year, there are 2, i've looked for a post 1837 marriage to a blyth and none match with either of the lucys.

This is a formula that can work as I say , it takes patience and time to cover all the options in case there was a widow involved, i am tired and so don't rely on me having checked thoroughly, but if you have access to ancestry and understand how to work this out you should eventually stumble across the blyth(e) marrriages.

that's why i didn't spot her, she was baptised when she was 6.

[dotty.]

On the 1851 census Lucy is a 23 year old house servant in Wymondham for the Ham family,

[dotty.]

On the 1841 census Lucy is not living with her parents Henry and Sarah, her 8 siblings are there, she should be between Phebe aged 8 and george aged 10 but she isnlt there.
