 On two birth extracts I now have, it states that the parents MICHAEL HANNAN and MARY ANN McGUIRE were married in Dover, on 15th October 1876.

I have been unable to find any record of this marriage.

Help!

I can't find a marriage either. Huh

Where did these birth extracts come from?

 Hi bearkat. The extracts came from Scotlands People in Edinburgh.

I have this feeling that the parents weren't hitched, so, for reasons known only to themselves, may have 'legitimised' their kids by inventing a date and place as far south in England as they could,  believing that in doing so, they would avoid the kids carrying the 'Illegitimate' stamp on their birth certificates.

I wonder if the keepers of records are supposed to cross check details of marriage when a child's birth is registered, particularly if the birth is in one country and the marriage in another.

Interesting, innit!

Thanks for confirming my check.

Hi Katman

Just a thought - were they army people and, if so, have you checked the "overseas" registers just in case it appears as a military marriage?

   Hi Cas, sorry for the delay in responding, but I've just come back from a trip up the Qld coast
 I have checked the military possibilities, but Mr Hannan was a brickie's labourer, and signed the birth certificates as they came along. Is there any way of checking the Dover marriage records around that time, just in case the surname spelling, (or even the date), was wrong?
 I now have four birth extracts with the 'Married October 15th, 1876, Dover' annotation, but no marriage record.

Hi Katman

You could try the Kent Registration Services website.  Dover should be covered though there are errors http://extranet3.kent.gov.uk/sp/rois/marriagesearch.cfm

You can search with a wild card ie. "A" (capital letters) and tick the "not sure" box and it will bring everything up with that date or year containing the letter "A" in the surname.

Do you know their religion?

  Ta for that, mate. I tried the site, but only one McGuire came up, and that was in 1867. She would have been about 15 years old then, so a bit young.
