I’m not sure how we have jumped to a week 39 update so quickly since the last blog post. Unfortunately/fortunately I am still on 623 people in my Ancestry chart which is good. However it means I’ve had no time to do any family history research, mainly due to a much more recent family wedding which we attended last weekend.
I’m hoping that the Christmas holidays will give me some much needed quiet time to do some family history research.

I’ve been enjoying my Ancestry subscription for most of this year and last night noticed a rather sloppy marriage certificate for Emma Georgina Mansel who married Charles Richard Hoare in 1852.
If you look carefully you can see that the person filling out the form omitted the middle names of Emma and Charles. They also got the professions of the fathers the wrong way round, and had to add a note in the margin! What makes this more fun is that this person was the father of the groom, archdeacon C J Hoare.
The marriage took place in the Parish of Kimmeridge and the bride and groom were living at Smedmore at the time of marriage. This house was the home of her father John Mansel, Colonel in the Army.

Continuing with blogging about all the records I found recently …..
I came across a marriage certificate for Alfred James Thorpe and Emma Elizabeth Tiffin. They were married at St Philip’s Church in Stepney, London on June 13th 1897. His occupation was Bus Driver.
His father, Alfred Thorpe was a Cigar Maker. Her father William Tiffin was a Carman. I had to look up that occupation as I wasn’t familiar with it, but it looks like he was employed to drive horse-drawn vehicles for transporting goods.
