Marriage lookup - Redruth - MARTIN
« on: Tuesday 15 October 13 19:29 BST (UK) »
Hi

This has been driving me mad all day.

Could somebody please look up a marriage for me.

I'm looking for a John MARTIN (bn 1826) who married Elizabeth (bn 1828). 

Their first born child was Mary Jane Martin bn 1851 so I would guess they got married around then.

Their children are

(Born in Redruth)
Mary Jane (1851)
John (1853)
Grace A (1856)
Thomas (1859)
(Born in Isle of Man)
James (1862)
Catherine (1864)
Elizabeth (1867)
William (1870)

Any help would be much appreciated

Thank you

No I don't think it's them.  On the 1881 census both John & Elizabeth have disappeared and the younger children are scattered between the older children.

The dates are too far out.

Have you identified the births of any of the children? Can you say where you have the years of birth from?

In the 1861 census, an Ancestry user has corrected Grace's name from Grace S to Grace A.  That census shows her as aged 3 in 1861, i.e. born 1857-58. There is a Grace Martin birth in Redruth reg dist in September quarter 1857.

Son Thomas D was aged 1 in 1861. There is a Thomas Davey Martin birth in Redruth reg dist in June quarter 1860.

Getting that birth certificate would confirm whether that is the correct birth, and if so, would tell you Elizabeth's birth surname.

With names as common as the couple's, finding a marriage without knowing her surname is a bit unlikely -- and if you did find a likely one, you couldn't be sure it was the right one.
HILL, HOARE, BOND, SIBLY, Cornwall (Devon); DENNIS, PAGE, WHITBREAD, Essex; BARNARD, CASTLE, PONTON, Wiltshire; SANKEY, HORNE, YOUNG, Kent; COWDELL, Bermondsey; COOPER, SMITH, FALLOWELL, WILLEY, Notts; CAMPION, CARTER, CRADDOCK, KENNY, Northants; LITTLER, CORNER, Leicestershire; RUSHLAND, Lincolnshire; MORRISON, Ireland; COLLINS, ?; ... MONCK?

Thanks. That's really useful.

The dates were from ancestry and then I have some baptism records from family search.
