Paul Report 19 May 2016 08:06

I have a marriage between a Thomas Bonnett (1868) and a Emily Iverson (1867) at
St Pauls Church C[apham Surrey in 1892.


Thomas Bonnett 25 Bachelor Occupation Baker
Father Thomas Bonnett (deceased) Occupation Labourer

Emily Iverson 25 Spinster
Father William Iverson (deceased) Occupation Builder

Witnesses Edwin Collins & Lydia Mary Al??sia

My problem is I can't find a birth record for Emily. She died in 1957 at the age of 90. so that makes her born around 1867 - 1868. I can't find a baptism record either. Census records 1911 say she was born in Clapham Surrey . 1901 also.

Any information on her Mother / Father / Siblings would be wonderful.

Kind Regards

Paul (Australia)

Mary Report 19 May 2016 11:40

If Emily married 1892 with witness Lydia Mary Maria Iverson
The Lydia born 1860 married 1882 so she would have been Lydia Cave in 1892.

Thank you everyone for your help. I do have the census information.

Maybe her birth wasn't registered. Have to keep looking.

Thanks again
