RESEARCH NOTES
- there seems to be only 1 marriage registration for Robert Martin Coates, but there are plenty more options for Robert Coates. As Robert Martin, did he marry Elizabeth Mary Wood, or Elizabeth Ann Pudsey Dawson in Q4 1863?

- Greenwich is on the south bank of the Thames in the NE corner of Kent close to the border of Surrey on the west - http://www.nwkfhs.org.uk/grnw_plc.htm … from wikipedia: Greenwich formed part of Kent until 1889 when the County of London was created. Confirmed by http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/ken.html - Transferred to the county of London [from Kent]on 1.4.1889.

- Similarly, Pancras Registration District was part of Middlesex from 1837-1889 when it became part of London until 1901. Became St Pancras RD, London in 1902 to 1965, and assigned to Greater London (1965-77). Incorporated into Camden RD in 1965 or 1977. Records now held in Camden. - http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/pancras.html and http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/st%20pancras.html.
According to http://homepages.gold.ac.uk/genuki/MDX/StPancras/index.html, the hamlet of Camden is part of the parish of St Pancras.
In Dec 1863 when Robert Martin was 31, he married Elizabeth Mary WOOD, daughter of James WOOD (ca1802-1867) & Sarah LUND (ca1804-1886), in Camden, Pancras Reg Dist, MIddlesex, England. Born on 1 Aug 1836 in Greenwich, Kent, England. Elizabeth Mary died in Greenwich, London, England, in Mar 1904; she was 67.

RESEARCH NOTES
- From another researcher: Baptised privately bt Rev Dacons 3 days old, Christened 26/12/1836 at St James' Colchester. born just before midnight. May have been second wife of William Henry Wood

- A different researcher says she married William Henry Wood on 26 Sep 1880 in Deptford Kent, at the age of 43. She describes herself as a widow but uses her maiden name [Did she have a son Arthur Coates out of wedlock or was Arthur someone else’s son in 1871 census?] This makes we wonder if this is the right Sara Ann - facts are said to be from the marriage certificate + IGI record *.. Will need to see the actual marriage details to confirm which one if not both of them were widowed prior to this marriage. See http://www.old.ourfamilyhistory.org.uk/indiI685.html
