William Fellows M Alice Jones c1906

[amounteney]

Has anyone any information on a William Fellows who (according to the 1911 Census) had been married to a Alice Jones for 5 years. I am unable to find any information for either of them prior to 1911.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi amounteney and welcome to British Genealogy Forums

I have moved your post from 'Navigating Brit Gen' to the 'brickwalls' forum where it will attract more interest.

There seems to be a few William and Alice Fellows on the 1911 census, we therefore need more information to identify your couple. When and where were they born, where are they in 1911? Any extra information you have could help us to help you.

married to a Alice Jones for 5 years...

Where do you get the surname Jones from? Is it from a child's birth certificate?

A woman's maiden name is not necessarily the name she married under.

I looked at those folks, Christina, but the nearest marriage I could find was this one.

Frederick Daniel Birch
Harriet May Darby
William Fellows
Harriet Jones

And as both potential wives are named Harriet I didn't look for Frederick Daniel Birch to see who his wife was, or look to see if there was a William Fellows married to a Harriet, perhaps I should take a look at the 1911 for William Fellows/Harriet pairing married 5yrs.

Just taken a look, I see only two William/Harriet pairings and neither were listed as married 5yrs, one was married 8yrs and both born and living in Derbyshire, the other married 12yrs and born and living Gloucestershire, however it doesn't prove much really. I'll go now and look for a Harriet Jones born in Nottinghamshire hoping one was Harriet Alice, or Alice Harriet.

Frederick Daniel Birch and wife Harriet May are together in 1911, which at least tells us a William Fellows married Harriet Jones in Aston reg district in 1905.

Christina

We have Christina's 1911 census with William Fellows and wife Alice (maiden name Jones) but no marriage has been found.

A William Fellows married Harriet Jones in Aston in 1905, thus far that couple haven't been found in 1911. So,.........is it possible Harriet Jones and Alice Jones are one and the same person??????

Thanks Christanel and everyone, this is the family I am looking for. I also have considered that Harriet Jones M1905 could be a possibility, also that they may not have married.

She is Alice Jones on their son Leslie Thomas's birth certificate.

William Fellows was born 21 Feb 1882 (according to the 1939 register) but as previously mentioned there is no sign of him prior to 1911 apparently born Birmingham, Alice 1887 Aston.

As a late comer!

Do you have Leslie Fellows birth certificate? If so what does it state for his parents....? If not I would recommend you apply for the .pdf from www.gro.gov.uk at a cost of £6
