Hi all,
I have just recieved Mary Allen+John Cummings marriage cert. (After 6 weeks)
Feb 4th. 1860.
James Cummings. Father.
Thomas Allen. Father.
Witnesses.
Jane Cummings. Sister.
Abel Briars.? (Smudged)
Residence at time of marriage. Meadle, Monks Risborough. Bucks.
Ruth Allen had a middle name of
Elizabeth. Found her in 1871 as a housemaid resident at 53, Easton St. Wycombe, Bucks.
Now whether John Cummings is her actual father, I'm not sure if I'll find that out. But if I can find Ruth's baptism he may be revealed.
Now. Mary Allen had a sister
Elizabeth b.1831 who I think died in 1854, the same year as Ruth was born. So did Mary take on her niece Ruth.
I can't seem to find Elizabeth in later census, and no real marriage details.
I will now have to order Elizabeth Allen's death cert to find out. Just hope I order the correct one.
The thick plottens.
Steve.
