Find Ancestors

I am looking for the marriage of my nan and grandad. I only have limited information. My grandads name was Sidney Pursall but it may have been spelt Sydney and my grandmother is Ada and i beleived her maiden was Bailey but i am not sure how correct this is. I am sure that they would have been married somewhere between 1940 - 1945 as i know it wasn't any later than this. My family came from the Aston area so it is likley that they may have got married somewhere in that area or close by.

Many thanks in advance if anyone can help

Not what you asked for but here are two possible births, the mother's maiden names are Morton, and Eliman - does that help?


Births Sep 1914 (reg Jul/Aug/Sept)
Pursall Sydney Morton Aston 6d 1208

Births Jun 1921 (reg Apr/May/Jun)
Pursall Sydney W Elliman Birmingham 6d 631

Hope it helps,

Many thanks for everyones help in finding my grand mothers maiden name and Marriage date. I was wondering now if anyone would be able to help in finding my great x 3 mother maiden name and marriage.

Her name was Harriett who was born about 1849 and she was married to Henry Pursall who was born 1846.

Many thanks in advance to any one that can help.

Can't find a family with dates that match. Can you list them on a census?

This could be a possibility as in the 1881 census the surname was spelt 'Purcell'

Marriages Sep 1865
Juhes Harriet Dudley 6c 37
Purcell Henry Dudley 6c 37

I've looked at the original registration and I think the surname is 'Jukes'

Hi Rose

Thanks for trying to help me again just trying to fill in my last few gaps. I know the children were Catherine, Walter, Mark, Ann, Harriette, Ellen, John, Ester, Blanche and a friend found them on a cenus for me, but can't remember which one now.

Kind regards
Lisa

Hi Catherine

Many thanks you have found them. That is spot on and you are correct about Henry's mother. The spelling of the name kept changing think that is why i am having slight difficulties.

Many thanks again

Kind regards
Lisa

Many thanks that's brill will look into it.Can't beleive all the help you have given me it's fantastic. All missing links filled in for now.

Thanks once again.

Lisa

I deleted the marriage because I don't think it is correct so please treat it with caution

Marriages Sep 1840

CURLEY Ellen Birmingham 16 327
PURCELL William Birmingham 16 327

The reason is that I found William with his family in the 1841 census but there is no Ellen

Hi Catherine

The 1841 cenus that you have listed above would have been before he got married. In the 1861 cenus Ellen is there and they have a 13year old daughter so i would say they got married between 1841-1847 unless she was already pregnant then it could be 1848.

please do not worry to much sure it will fit into place adventually. Thanks for all you are doing.

Many thanks
Lisa
