Thank you very much for your reply.
My grandfather, Joseph and his brother John emigrated to Canada in 1904. Coal mining was on the downgrade in England and at the time Canada was sending out lists looking for trained coal miners.
My grandmother, Julia (Humpherson) Leese and her little family came to Canada in 1909.
I would love to find out if my great Aunts and Uncles married?
I appreciate your help
Doris

Thank you for your PM Doris.
"I made at least 4 attempts to the General Register Office trying to obtain my Grandfather, Joseph Leese's Birth Certificate, to no avail. I tried each of the 4 times re-arranging the years (because they say they do a 3 year search.
I have just received the information you sent me on marriages and a thought has occurred to me. "Could I just quote the reference information instead of trying to arrange the years over a 3 yr. search as the Register Office requests"
I would be interested in sending for my Great Uncle William Francis Leese's Marriage Certificate."
Assuming this is the correct one:
Marriage December Quarter 1891
William Francis Leese and Phoebe Palin
District: Wellington Sh
Vol: 6a, Page: 1557
Apply to the General Register Office by completing the online form with the above details.
~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a possible birth for your Grandfather:
December Quarter 1871
District: Newport Sh (which covers Lilleshall)
Vol: 6a, Page: 844
As a checking point you could always provide his parents' names, so if there is any discrepancy they will only charge £3 to do a search, and refund you the remaining £4.

Your Grandparents must have got married in Canada, and unfortunately I have no idea about Canadian records.
Try posting a look up on the Canada Board, I'm sure someone there will be able to help you: http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/board,375.0.html

My American cousin required our grandparents Marriage Certificate which is as follows
Marriage solemnized at the Register Office in the District of Wellington in the County of Salop - September 2m 1896
Joseph Leese (23 years) Bachelor - Coal Miner
Residence at the time of marriage Wrockwardine Wood - Father Thomas Leese - coal miner
Julia Humpherson (34 years) Spintser - Domestic Servant (General). Residence at the time of marriage Wrockwardine Wood - Father Thomas Humpherson
Wittnesses Dan Humpherson & Sabina Leese
I have a question I would like to ask if I should apply for a marriage certificate per chance so to speak, not knowing any years for the 3 year search (as they request). Would you work from their date of birth, add 15 or 25 years?
Again I wish to thank you for your help.
Doris

Hello again
I have a question I would like to ask if I should apply for a marriage certificate per chance so to speak, not knowing any years for the 3 year search (as they request). Would you work from their date of birth, add 15 or 25 years?Huh
Personally, I wouldn't do it that way. I would rather find the marriage in the Index and supply the full reference.
Whose marriage are you trying to find? Post the details and I will see what I can find for you.

Thanks again. Actually I am interested in 3 oersons:
William H. Leese Born abt. 1884 in Donnington Wood (Parents: Thomas & Sarah Ann (Bradley) Leese
Harriett Leese Born abt. 1887 in Donninton Wood (Parents: Thomas & Sarah Ann (Bradley) Leese
Albert E. Leese Born 1889 in Donnington Wood (Parents: Thomas & Sarah Ann (Bradley) Leese
If I could obtain information for the above. This would about complete closure to the tree of my great grandparents.
Thanking you in advance.
Doris
