Marriage Cert Question

[shirls15]

Would it be possible for me to find the marriage cert for a MESHACH MOSS even though i don't know his wifes name?

[Verna Mac]

Any further information like where and when?

It IS possible to get the index number on FreeBMD and find her name from that................. IF we are talking about the UK during the times that have been transcribed................

Welcome Shirls - give us more details and should be able to help.

In the Marriage Indexes, each spouse gets an entry - sadly not till after 1911 do they x-ref the entries, so before that you either need the cert to see who married who, or search on a subsequent census and see his wife's christian name - if you're lucky ...

Looks like you're in luck if this 1912 marriage is the right one - he married:-

Marriages Sep 1912 
 
Moss  Meschak H  Spouse = Wardle  District - Basford  vol 7b page 469    married    Wardle  Mary E  Spouse = Moss

okie dokie... i think he was born in 1883 as MESHACH H MOSS don't know his full middle name. He (i think, that i know of) had three children by the names of DORIS, ALAN and CLARENCE - i know for certain that CLARENCE was born on 28/10/1918 in GREASLEY, NOTTINGHAMSHIRE.

Theres not really alot more i know about him as i never even thought about asking my grandad before he died.

Hope this helps.

the above marriage certainly seems correct then ?

[shirls15]

Oh great! it certainly does as there were births in the family registered at BASFORD too thanks... would it also be possible to find out when the other children were born aswell as MARY E WARDLE? (if that not too much to ask).

Thanks again Shirls.

Greasly is in the BASFORD Regn District - but I cant see Clarence at the moment with a Birth Index entry

will search from 1912 with MMN = Wardle.


Do you want Meschak researched in the earlier Census years to establish his parents names etc ?
