[Music] Leslie's come back to Brighton where she grew up and where her grandfather James and grandmother Harriet lived to see what she can find out about how her grandparents got together her first stop is the keep where the archives for East Sussex are held hello let welcome to Andrew Hello nice to meet you she's meeting archist Andrew Bolton so come on spill the be so well the first document I have here for you is a marriage certificate that's this one here from 1906 right and it's the marriage of George Thomas Barton and Harriet aing so this is Grandma Harriet's husband yes it is yes he was 26 she was 20 oh right okay so this is the 1911 census right so this is 5 years on from the marriage y yeah so George Thomas Barton he's the head of the household he's 30 Harriet is his wife she's 26 and their children Winfred Wilfred and Peggy so they had them fairly quickly so if you look in the next column yeah where it states um total children born they had four children oh they lost a child oh oh I I I didn't know that that's really sad one imagines that Harriet and George were beside themselves who knows whether that caused a problem with the marriage it's possible isn't it yeah so this is also a census from 1911 oh right so this is the same year so this is presumably a different family I'm looking at yes that's right James Arthur Edwards age 26 ah so this is my mother's father Yes my grandfather was also married before then yes before he was with Harriet yeah he's married to Mabel who's 25 and he's had children wow I mean I I imagined that he had had some sort of previous life um but I don't suppose I imagined that there were [Music] children wow Leslie has discovered that her grandmother Harriet's husband was called George and has learned from the 1911 census that her grandfather James had also been married previously to Mabel and also had [Music] children so for me the big question is what happened between 1911 and 1923 when my mother was born to separate these two families
