Our parents' marriage certificate gave us our paternal grandfather as Samuel Frederick WRIGHT and our maternal one as George HORNCASTLE.
FreeBMD gave a probable marriage of Samuel Frederick Wright in 4Q 1889 to either Emma Louisa Coker or Mary Ann Turvey but which? I searched for them in the 1901 census without success, it was only later that I found that granddad called himself Frederick on census returns. Then I remembered that Dad had said that his mother was buried in Chingford Mount Cemetery. I found an email address for the cemetery on Google and a very helpful lady found my grandfather's burial and in the same grave my grandmother, Mary Ann!
FreeBMD gave a possible marriage of George Horncastle in 2Q 1904 to either Sarah Hunt or Florence Lardant, again which one. This marriage was after 1901 so I did not think the census would be much use until I found George Horncastle living with his parents and Florence Lardant as the lodger!
So now we had our grandparents names, Samuel Frederick WRIGHT and Mary Ann TURVEY and George HORNCASTLE and Florence LARDANT.
