Edward Carter of Leeds & Martha Allison completed
« on: Friday 26 June 09 15:10 UTC (UK) »
I found that Edward Carter married Martha Allison in the first quater of 1870 at Leeds.  Fifty-four year old Edward Carter died in Leeds in the 3rd quarter of 1870.  Is Leeds far from Brigham?  Would it have been usual for a young lady to travel to Leeds to get married?  Any way to hook this Martha to Isaac of Quarry Bank, Brigham without buying the certificates?

Hi

You haven't given sufficient info for us to help you

Isaac who?

How old was Martha Allison in 1870 and where was she born?  

When did she marry "Isaac"    If before 1881 do her 1881 details match what you know of her?

She would have re-married as Martha Carter

On that other thread, wasnt Martha Carter found as widowed dtr of Isaac Allison on 1871 census?
Thus linking them together
And didnt you have the cert of her second marriage (to Greggins) in 1875 which presumably had her father down as Isaac Allison, farmer, as you quoted that along with marriage date in the first post of the other thread?

They married at the Register Office in Leeds.

Search here http://www.yorkshirebmd.org.uk/cgi/marrind.cgi?county=yorkshire

Perhaps she was a servant in Leeds.   About 120 miles from Cockermouth to Leeds.

Sorry about that I'm kind of new to this.  Martha Allison, d/o Isaac and Margaret Allison of Brigham, Cumberland was born ca. 1842.   In 1861 and 1871 she was a dressmaker.  In the first quarter of 1879, a Martha Allison married Edward Carter in Leeds.  My Martha Allison was a widow, surname Carter, back living with her family in 1871.  Edward Carter, age 54, died in the 3rd quarter of 1870.  I'm figuring that they all hook up, even though Martha was, at 26 years younger than Edward, half his age.  Maybe Martha moved from Brigham to(which community in) Leeds to work in a dress factory?  as a housekeeper?  and met Carter and married.  Is Edward Carter in the 1861 Census?  Would he have needed a housekeeper?  How did they get together?  I was wondering where I might look, other than purchasing their marriage registration, to see if that was my Martha.  She went on, in 1875, to marry James Greggains. They are my great-grandparents.

Hi

You need a copy of the Allison/Carter marriage cert to establish if Martha's father was Isaac

You already know her married name was Carter from what you say above and the 1870 is the only marriage for a Martha Allison to Edward Carter so it sounds pretty conclusive that she's the one
