St Leonard's and St Peter's Churches1
Address: Hythe and St Leonard-on-Sea, Kent respectively
St Leonard's was Edward's parish. Eliza's parish was St Peter's. St Leonard-on-Sea. The annotation 'Cert' in the margin of the register for St Leonard's indicates that the Vicar issued a certificate of the banns being called as the marriage must have taken place in Eliza's parish. Edward and Eliza would have attended the services at which the banns were read but who else was there is not known.
Marriage:
Apr 1904
Address: St Leonard-on-Sea, Kent
The 1911 Census records that they had been married for 7 years and did not have any children. The year was confirmed by their marriage registration. The place and month of their marriage is deduced from the bride's parish and the last date (20 March 1904) on which their Banns were read

Occupation:
frm 1894 to 1940 (age 13-60)
cabinet maker, and carpet and lino fitter; Sussex and London4,7,9,10
The 1901 Census gives his occupation as a cabinetmaker in Hastings, however, all other records give his occupation as a carpet and lino fitter. After his marriage to Eliza Cooper in 1904 he moved to Hythe in Kent where he worked as a carpet planner and fitter. At the time of his second marriage to Harriet Dowell in 1933 was still working as a carpet fitter but had moved to Ramsgate. According to his sister-in-law Alice he came into a small inheritance when he was working for a firm in the Ramsgate area. Looking at the timing it was probably from his mother Sarah. Apparently, he opened a bank account at a time when working class people used cash and might have a Post Office savings account but did not have bank accounts, and carried a cheque around with him at work offering loans to his fellow workers. Whether they took him up on this is not known but when it came to making staff redundant the owner of the firm sacked him – probably because he thought that if he had money he didn't need a job! After this he moved to London and he and his wife Harriet (Ett) lived with Ett's sister Alice and he opened a second hand furniture shop in one of the streets off the Wandsworth Road. In 1939 at the start of WW2 he moved to Brighton to live with his brother Harry and his wife and has far as his nephew Jack can recall he did not work between then and his death in 1940.

It is assumed that she died in the town that she was living at the time of the 1911 Census.

About Kent, Canterbury Archdeaconry banns - Chilham, Stalisfield, & Staple
Banns
These records contain both transcripts and images of the original banns registers. Most transcripts will include the following information about your ancestor:
First name(s)
Last name
Banns date
Place
Marriage year
Spouse’s first name(s)
Spouse’s last name
Groom’s parish
Bride’s parish
County
The images of the register will often provide additional information, such as the dates on which banns were read and whom they were read by.
More about these records
These banns registers come from Canterbury’s historic archdeaconry. Up to 1841, Canterbury was the only archdeaconry in the diocese of Canterbury. After 1841, the diocese of Canterbury was divided into two archdeaconries: Canterbury in the east and Maidstone in the west. In 2011, the Archdeaconry of Ashford was created and the archdeaconry boundaries redrawn.
All parishes within the Archdeaconry of Canterbury that consented to online publication are represented in these records. Please note that four parishes withheld consent for publishing images of their records, therefore, where provided, you will only be able to search transcripts of their records: Cheriton St Martin, Harbledown St Michael, Ramsgate St Luke, and Shepherdswell (also known as Sibertswold) St Andrew. Original records for each of these four parishes can be consulted on microfilm at Canterbury Cathedral Archives.
Three ancient Thanet parishes can be found under the names St John in Thanet, St Lawrence in Thanet, and St Peter in Thanet (rather than under Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs respectively).
Banns are the publications on three successive Sundays of a couple's intention to marry. Note that many entries in the banns registers include the date of marriage as well. The banns registers, however, are also interesting for identifying marriages that took place outside the parish in question (usually in the parish of the bride when different) and, of course, for marriages which, for whatever reason, were planned but never took place. The majority of marriages were preceded by banns; however, a minority were by licence and, of course, such marriages will not appear in these records.
For data protection and personal privacy, there is an 84-year cut-off for publishing banns records.

They occupied 8 rooms and shared the house with another family of 4 who had 5 rooms. This would make it a very large house and perhaps Edward recorded the total number of rooms in the house instead of the rooms that his family occupied so that it was actually an 8 roomed house and the Mackellow family occupied 3 rooms (8-5). A modern (Google) image shows that it was a comparatively small house and certainly did not have 8 rooms.

They occupied 8 rooms and shared the house with another family of 4 who had 5 rooms. This would make it a very large house and perhaps Edward recorded the total number of rooms in the house instead of the rooms that his family occupied so that it was actually an 8 roomed house and the Mackellow family occupied 3 rooms (8-5). A modern (Google) image shows that it was a comparatively small house and certainly did not have 8 rooms.
