Marriage lookup please - Completed
« on: Wednesday 06 May 09 10:29 BST (UK) »
I am looking for a marriage of a Margaret Ann Thomson (b. 1863 Fordyce) to ***** Wood between 1891 and 1904.  Margaret's parents were William Thomson (Mariner) and Jane Smith.  I have found her on the 1891 census, she is aged 26 and her occupation is given as a teacher.  I have looked on SP but have not had any luck.  Any help would be appreciated.

There is a marriage of a Margaret Ann Thomson to a William Wood at Greenwich in 1898. Like you I cant find anything on SP.

I think I have found them living at Greenwich in 1901. Margaret is born 1864 at Banffshire so a very good chance it is her.

Hi Nel

I had already looked at the Greenwich marriage which seemed a very strong possibility, as I couldn't find a marriage in Scotland.   Actually yesterday I looked up on the 1911 census which shows William Wood and Margaret Ann Wood still living in Greenwich.  The place of birth given of Portsoy for Margaret is about right; Fordyce was given on previous censuses.  Just looked up 1901 census (couldn't find it before, even putting in variations) and the address is the same as for 1911.  A niece is also given which ties in with everything else.

Thanks again - another pair of eyes does help!!

It is exactly right. Portsoy is in the parish of Fordyce.
