I would like to see if anyone can find a marriage record for John Vawdrey (b.1830)and Hannah. I found them in British Census Record living in Congleton, Atsbury area. They were married about 1858-59. I would appreciate any help you could give me.

Dear Andy,
Thank you so much for your prompt reply and with information. How can I look at the actual record to see if this is my John Vawdrey(Vaudrey). His parents names are Peter Vawdrey and Betty Davenport also of Cheshire.
I am new to rootschat so I am just finding my way around the site. Thank you also for the link to the Cheshire Birth Marriage and Death Index. I am sure that I will be using that in the future.
Thank again.
Alane

Neptune,
Thank you for your information about the IGI. I know that it has much information on it. I have looked at that but it has no wife listed for John Vawdrey.
In fact it has mixed up the two brothers, John and Jehu. Even in the British Census, Jehu in the index is listed as John. I do appreciate your imput and would welcome any other information that you could share.

Hi again Alane
There seems to be more than one John Vaudrey on the census and ancestry.
As well asthe marriage that Andy found - there's another marriage on the Cheshire BMD for
John Vaudrey and Martha Twemlow in St Mary's Sandbach in 1853.
From the census records I think the family were living in Sandbach( all born Sweetenham).??
It might be an idea to ask for a 'look-up' at the Cheshire Records Office.They hold a lot of marriage records etc. on film.
If someone is going to there they might look at the records for both for you and then find out which one(if any) has the father called Peter-also finding the witnesses might help.
If one of them is the right one you could then send for the marriage certificate if you wanted.
Good Luck
Neptune

Helllo Neptune,
Thank you for responding again!!
I found in trying to research this family that having a son named John and Jehu within 2 years of each other has been confusing to me. I only found the mixup when I was trying to track both families (Jehu and John) in the census records. When looking at the actual census record, I could tell the difference between the writing of the name John and Jehu but indexers would have thought that the name Jehu was John.
Jehu did marry a Martha Twemlow. I think that whoever indexed the marriage records thought the name written was John. I would like to see if the actual writing would reveal that the name was really Jehu instead of John.
How would I go about asking someone to do a lookup at the Cheshire Records Office? Of maybe it would be good to order a marriage certicate for both marriages. Would it be a copy of the actual marriage certificate??
Again thank you for your help and time.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Alane

Hi again Alane
How confusing!
If you want to ask for someone to possibly do a look - up if they were going to the Cheshire Records Office - just start a new request on the Cheshire board.
Itmight help if you could get some details from the church records before sending for the marriage certificates.
The church records should give the names of the fathers of the bride and groom.
The burial records may also be available.
I'm not sure if it's possible to get a print from the church records or whether the details would have to be written down.
It can be expensive to send for certificates if you're not sure.
You may be able to hire the films to view at your nearest LDS centre.
It may be worth looking at the 'deaths' on Cheshire BMD and Free BMD.
Have a look at both spellings - Vaudrey and Vawdrey. There's a death in 1859 for -ehu Vawdrey(Free BMD). On the 1861 census Martha is married to John??
I'm confused myself now!
I'll have another look for you.
Regards
Neptune

Hi Alane
I've had another look at the census records and Jehu does seem to appear as John.
On the IGI his death is noted as 1909 in Sandbach so he's still alive on all the census .
Looks like he remarried in 1889 to Hannah Wilkinson.
So the marriage that Andy found for John to Hannah Lawrence is a possibility.
If someone is going to the Cheshire Records Office they may be able to check for you.
http://www.cheshire.gov.uk/recoff/
(this is the link for the Cheshire Records Office in Chester. -select 'Family History 'then follow the link for'wills'. Jehu's will is there-but there is a charge to view it-just thought you might find it interesting)
Regards
Neptune

Thank you, thankyou! I do appreciate all the help that I have recieved with this request. Nepture, I especially appreciate your imput and your time in looking things up for me.
I do have all the information that has been placed on the IGI about Jehu and his second wife. I have also found the death record for Jehu in the BMD.
I will be out of town for the next few days but when I get back I'll request a look-up at the Cheshire Records office. I appreciate knowing about Jehu's will and would like to have a look at that when I get back.
Thank you again!! Rootschat it wonderful!!
