I am trying to find Mother in law's Mums marriage to Robert Coburn

Robert Coburn was 29 when he married Anna Elizabeth Violet Clark she was 24

They married On the 28th October 1939 in South End on Sea

Private - Queen Royal Regiment Number 7011164 - Lympne Camp in Kent.
He may have died in 2nd world war

His Father is listed as Robert Coburn Foreman at Linen Mills

I would love to find out his birth date to get a birth certificate and his death Date to get a death certificate or any other marriages

If he died in WW2 he will be listed on the CWGC site

Try looking for birth info yourself using freebmd……you know approximately when he was born if he gave his true age when he married

Where and when did Annie die? What was her surname at the time?

ADDED…………….
Was Robert IRISH?

The marriage - no further initials shown for Robert

Looking at ErikaH's suggestion of him being Irish - this is a 1910 Robert Coburn birth with father Robert - who in 1910 was a Labourer

Name ROBERT COBURN
Date of Birth 01 July 1910
Group Registration ID 486828
SR District/Reg Area Lisburn
Sex Male
Mother's Birth Surname BELSHAW

Image - born at McKeown Street, Lisburn. Mother Agnes

there are others 1907, 1908, 1913

No-one of the name showing on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission site as War Dead.

No births to match age +/- 5 years England/Wales. There are two with second initials 1908 and 1913

None in Scotland

Daughter born to the marriage 1941 Southend RD - is that Mother -in-laws Mum?

Possible daughter Brentford, Middx 1942 but there was an Edmonton marriage 1935 of Coburn/Clark

Have a look at this site - you may be able to apply for his Service records

According to a tree on ancestry Anna Elizabeth violet Clark was born 18th May 1915 in Dublin

Her father was James Henry Clark’ and Mary (May) violet Killeen who married 25th nov 1914 st Stephens church Dublin

They also have her marrying a Willian Thomas Clark

The 1942 birth is listed as

Clark Jessica Clark Brentford 3a 532
Coburn Jessica Clark Brentford 3a 532


So ?

She died as Clark

CLARK ANNIE ELIZABETH V 18MY1915 HOUNSLOW 13 1097

Thanks Everyone

You have the right family - My mother in Law Was Jessica Clark.

Her Mother was Annie Elizabeth Violet Clark. She had 3 daughters
Patricia, Sheilha the one born to Robert Coburn and who was adopted and Our Jessica.

Is there a record of Annie Clark and William marrying ? as William was her uncle ( Dads Brother)

Does record Officially closed mean I can't access it ?

I can't find death record on CWGC

Annie Elizabeth Clark died in 1987. She was Clark as her maiden name was Clark.

We don't know if Robert Was Irish , he may have been.

You can get closed records on 1939 register opened if you provide death certs

Name ANNIE CLARK
Date of Birth 18 May 1915
Group Registration ID 1430186
SR District/Reg Area Dublin
Sex Female
Mother's Birth Surname KILLEEN

From original - Born 18 May 1915 at 3 O'Briens Place
Full name Annie Elizabeth Violet Clark
Father James Henry Clark of Marlboro Barracks, Dublin a Private in the 5th Lancers
Mother MaryClark b formerly Killeen

The connection could well have been between the Fathers ?

However Shoebury a suburb of Southend was a Garrison town

As she reverted to her maiden name, it's unlikely that Robert died ............more likely they simply went their separate ways.....especially as you say the child Sheila was adopted

Buy a copy of her death cert for info about her marital status

5th Royal Irish Lancers - originally formed in 1689 as James Wynne's Regiment of Dragoons. Renamed a couple of times and erased from Army records in late 1790's due to treachery within ranks during the Irish rebellion.

Served 2nd Boer War, returned to Ireland and involved in the Curragh incident in 1914 before returning to England until the outbreak of WW1. Disbanded 1921, raised again before amalgamating and becoming 16th/5th Lancers and via various other titles became The Queen's Royal Lancers in 1993 and the Royal Lancers in 2015.
