Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Hanley Marriage 1826
« on: Monday 21 September 20 17:29 BST (UK)  »
I'm trying to find details of a marriage that took place in Hanley on 25/5/1826 between James Brindley and Sarah Hambleton. I'd just like to know if there's any other information that might help me to find who these people were. All relevant websites only have indexes so all I've found out is that he was a bachelor.
Thanks

Leicestershire Lookup Requests / Gumley - Richard Boddyle
« on: Thursday 05 March 20 14:20 GMT (UK)  »
I'm researching this man and find that several family trees on Ancestry have his birth as Gumley, November 1604, son of Edward, but none of them have provided any source and it doesn't appear on any online site. So if someone is able to check the records for me to see if this baptism actually exists, I would be very grateful.

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / Ann Redgate - Kneesall
« on: Friday 21 February 20 13:14 GMT (UK)  »
Ann Redgate was baptised in Kneesall 5/6/1785. According to my records, her parents were Thomas and Jane but transcripts on both Ancestry and Find my Past have her father's name as John. I'd be very grateful if someone could find out who's right.

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Sarah Gibson - Horton
« on: Tuesday 26 March 19 15:21 GMT (UK)  »
I have a Sarah Gibson marrying William Winkle at Horton 11/6/1705, and I have found two possible baptisms for her - both in 1677, one to Richard and one to John and Sarah. I wondered if anyone with access to the PRs could see if there was any further info on the marriage which help me identify the correct one. Or maybe some evidence that one died in childhood.
Thanks.

Staffordshire Lookup Requests / Jonathan Brassington - Caverswall
« on: Monday 25 March 19 11:56 GMT (UK)  »
I'm trying to trace Jonathan Brassington's baptism which would have been around 1759 according to his age on NBI. And as he lived most of his life in Caverswall I'm hoping it was there. If anyone is able to do a look up for me I would be very grateful.

Herefordshire Lookup Requests / Staunton on Arrow PRs or BTs- STOKES
« on: Saturday 24 March 18 16:20 GMT (UK)  »
I have the marriage of a WILLIAM STOKES to JOAN (or Jane) ABLE BRADFORD on 1/11/1832 at Staunton on Arrow found on Find My Past. I'd like to know if there is any other info in the entry which might help me get further back as there is another William Stokes getting married around the same time in the area.
Thanks

The Common Room / Consent of Parents
« on: Thursday 15 March 18 13:19 GMT (UK)  »
Does anyone know why the phrase "with consent of parents" appears on a marriage certificate? The obvious inference is that one or both participants were under age, but according to all the subsequent census information, neither of them were underage. The marriage took place in Chirk, Denbighshire in 1830 if that helps.

The Common Room / Civil Registration
« on: Thursday 01 March 18 10:05 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone tell me if people getting married in the early 1900s were required to prove who they were - name, age etc? In other words, can I assume that the information given on a marriage cert will be correct, or was it all taken on trust?

Shropshire Lookup Requests / Emily Jane Davies
« on: Thursday 01 March 18 08:47 GMT (UK)  »
GRO has the 2 births of an Emily Jane Davies in Oswestry in 1865 and 1866. According to the 1881 census she was born in Llanymynech. Could anyone could do a look up to find if either of these children was baptised there to see if one had the father William and mother Mary formerly Jones? Thanks
