Liverpool & South West Lancashire FHS - Forum

It is a very miserable day here. Hope you have better.
John is my 3rd cousin 1 x removed. His parents were Elizabeth Double b 1846 and John Roberts b 1846 both Liverpool. The problem is his marriage. I had him marrying Sophia Udhe in 1897 Liverpool father John. BUT I have a DNA match who has a John Roberts b 1878 Liverpool , father John Roberts. He has him marrying Margaret Holden b 1883. From Free BMD this marriage took place in 1901 West Derby. I wonder id anyone can see the church record for this marriage so that I can see if the address or witnesses were any help in sorting out the correct marriage.
I don't recognise the witnesses on the first marriage in 1897 or the address. I also cannot find John and Sophie in 1901 census, or John on his own in 1901. HELP please. Thanks

1901,

Thanks for the marriage certificate. I wonder who he was married to before (he is a widower) . The John and Sophia 1901 is good, but I need to check the marriage.
John the father (of my John) is dead by 1911 as Elizabeth his wife is with her granddaughter at 22 Latham Rd Bootle. so he may have been deceased in 1901 on marriage to Margaret Holden.
Where is Dryberry St ? Is it Bootle/ Kirkdale area ? Must go to my physio now . Thanks

Marriage to Sophia, not the same John Roberts as the above 1901 marriage.

John,

1901 marriage.

Sorry Bert, should read the thread more carefully
John

I think I have found "my" John in 1901

Elizabeth Roberts 55
Bertram Roberts 17 This is given as her daughter, so I think it should be Beatrice who would be 17, b 1884. The other children are correct.
John Roberts 23
Frederick Roberts 13
Mary E Thomas 25 niece I have yet to confirm.
If this is the case John cannot have married Sophia in 1897. It says John is single ... Marriage to Margaret Holden later in the year, says he is a widower.

I have found a baptism for John Roberts b 4 Mar 1878 at St Peter's on 6 May. I think this is more likely to be them as their abode is Kirkdale. So I no longer think he was called \\john \james.

Please could you tell me the church and district where john and Margaret Holden married. I can't decipher it. Thanks so much for your help, it has helped a lot.

Remember to use, Lancashire BMD, always helpful. http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/

I had forgotten about Lancs BMD, as they don't normally have anything that i want. They must have added more. I had tried Lancs On line parish clerk, but it was not on there.
Thanks so much for your help. Have a virtual hug . Don't know if that worked.
