John Steel and Charlotte Surgeon marriage Cumberland
« on: Thursday 28 August 14 18:48 BST (UK) »
Hello

I purchased the birth certificate of Robert Steele, born in Carlisle 1848 and it lists his parents as John Steel and Charlotte Surgeon

I cannot seem to find a marriage, when did they marry?

my thanks

Maybe they married over the border in Scotland.

This could be Charlotte's baptism

thank you

I think they married in Scotland because there is no compatible marriage in England and her maiden name is clearly Sturgeon

The birth year is very plausible, John being born in 1821
