There is some uncertainty about who the bride for Fredrick Udale was when he married at St Mary's Wirksworth Derbyshire on 24 December 1893.
It might help with the problem if there was a newspaper report of the marriage.
Please could someone advise me on what newspaper covered the area at the time and hopefully if there is an archive?

I have the wedding certificate in front of me which was amended locally in 1897 to Caroline Davis ,
The original certificate is entered as Annie Yeomans Davis and is signed as Annie Newmans Davis.
I hoped a newspaper angle my give clues as to the relatives of the bride.

To put people in the picture there’s a whole other thread about this very curious marriage entry and the wholesale amendments made, regarding the identity of the bride and her father, some considerable time later:

The parish register image, showing the amendments made in 1897, is available on Ancestry.

Hi NormanE,
If you have the civil certificate now, please would you post the information on the other thread. I wrote on there re the likelihood of a newspaper report - or unlikelihood, I suppose :).

All I wanted to know and still want to know if there was a local newspaper reporting on Wirksworth Derbyshire affairs in 1893. If so are there copies available?

As I suggested - contact the Records Office or Wirksworth Library.

Hi Norman,
On the previous thread, I suggested two sites which carry Derbyshire papers and include reports for this family. If there was a marriage report, it would likely show there.
Have you tried those sites? I didn’t search with Davis - just Udale/Udall.
Find My Past and British Newspaper Archives show some reports from Derbyshire newspapers.
They are both subscription sites.
Indexes show snippets which can sometimes help.
1893 indicates the inquest on the ‘strange death of a child’ infant daughter or Alfred.
1895 Henry Udale, a youth, charged with an offence under the Vagrancy Act - gaming on a public footpath.
I wouldn’t think there would be a marriage report really but you can try.
