James Hardy b 1874 Marriage?

[mikehardy]

Hi, I am looking for the marriage James Hardy b 1874 6d 394. He was not married - 1891 census. but was married by 1901 - 1901 census 2879,29 So his marriage must lie between 1891 and 1901. The 1911 census 14,18367 shows a marriage to Mary Hardy.

I can not find this marriage - help please.

Mike.

There are a couple registered in King's Norton [covers part of Birmingham, though not Aston]

Neither includes a Mary, but there is a Maron, may be worth a thought..

Hi Mike,

The James Hardy you gave the link for, this was his marriage :

Name: James Hardy
Gender: Male
Birth Year: abt 1875
Marriage Date: 15 Apr 1899
Marriage Age: 24
Marriage Place: Kings Norton, St Nicolas, England
Spouse: Ada Gertrude Spink
Spouse Gender: Female
Spouse Marriage Age: 22
Father: James Hardy
Spouse's Father: Joseph Spink
Reference Number: EP4/2/3/5
Archive Roll: M382/M383

The Birmingham records are on Ancestry. James' father is a Blacksmith which matches the 1901 census, James is a Railway stoker and single in the census, and on the marriage he says he is a fireman.

Also having trouble locating James in the 1911 census.

Thanks, Amanda..

Railway Stoker and Fireman are very similar jobs on the railways...

Hi Mike,

Can you give more details for the 1911 census. I've not been able to locate James and Mary.

 

[juliejtp]

Hi,

Possible that James and Ada Gertrude (nee Spink) had a daughter Mabel Gertrude. It maybe that this family went to Canada. There is a Ida G Hardy, James Hardy and a Mabel G on the 1910 Canada census which I'm unable to view to check details.

Found this for a James Hardy back in Aston but now single so what has happened to Ada his wife? 1911 census

http://interactive.ancestry.co.uk/2...ns0=Hardy&ssrc=&backlabel=ReturnSearchResults

Discard this!! I remember there was always talk of an uncle emigrating to Canada and working on the railways - this may be James Hardy

 

[mikehardy]

Special thanks to Geoff, Amanda, and Julie for their help, never in a thousand years would I have had the 'nose' to sniff out the info they have so kindly given.

Mike.

Hi Mike,
