Potterspury Marriage lookup
« on: Sunday 15 June 14 12:07 BST (UK) »
I am looking for details of a marriage registered Potterspury , I think in Wolverton parish between
Elizabeth Rawes and Edward Fawcett on 18 June 1849.
I would be grateful for as much detail as possible as this couple are marrying in a completely different area to where I would expect and I would like to confirm I have the correct couple.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi smol.

Welcome to Rootschat.  :)

I am afraid Wolverton parish records would come under the
Buckinghamshire Look up Board not Northants.

Maybe posting there would be an idea.

Well blow me I remember getting a lot of marriages for another Rootschatter
and your marriage I listed although not the fathers.  :(

Wolverton Holy Trinity P.C.
18 June 1849

Edward Fawcett, Bachelor, Policeman, Wolverton and
Elizabeth Rawes, Spinster, Servant, Wolverton

John Fawcett and Rebecca Rawes witnessed the marriage

Still may get better details from Bucks board.

Seahall
I have reposted on the Buckinghamshire board as you suggested and then saw your second message which looks very hopeful.
The fathers names would help.
Thanks very much.

Hi again SMOL.

Are these the 2 people from Kendal and Edward is A Rail Porter on the 1851
in Low Soothill.

If so there is a tree for them as having gone to Canada and on the 1861 Canadian
Census Edward is noted as a Sailor, etc.

They are indeed the people as you suggest, both b. Kendal.
There are suggestions that Elizabeth Rawes is the sister of my husband's 2x G Grandmother.
I have no bap info on this Elizabeth Rawes despite having lots of Rawes info for the area - there are a number of families in the area and the surname is spelt in many different ways - Rawes /Rows/Rose etc.
I was hoping the marriage cert would confirm ages, occupations and fathers names etc.
My query has been replied to on both boards - amazing.
Many thanks for your help.

Hi Trish.

Does she have a sister Rebecca although she may be noted on the marriage
certificate as a relative rather than sibling.
