Meyers and Routledge

[stoney]

Can anyone help me track down the marriage of Edward Meyers and Mary Jane Routledge, in Carlisle, 1881?

I tried looking through the microfilm held at Carlisle Library when I was up there on a recent visit, but had no luck. I think they were married at St. John's, London Road.

Thanks Pam - I'll have to send off for the certificate!

I'm new to this forum so I hope Stoney sees this message!  I've been reading through a lot of the threads on here and hope that I've just read something that is the missing link to what I've been wondering.  I've been looking for evidence that my gt gt grandmother, Mary Routledge, born Faugh c1820, is the sister of William Routledge, born Faugh c1826 as discussed in Stoney's threads on here.  I've just seen mention of a David Routledge who on the 1881 census is living (stated nephew) with Jacob Routledge who I believe to be my Mary's brother.  (I mean Jacob is her brother, not David.)  David seems to be the daughter of Mary Jane Routledge who is the daughter of William Routledge so this would connect them.  Can anyone confirm this?
Any nugget will be greatly appreciated!

Yup - my Gt Uncle Dave (David Miller Routledge) was Mary Jane's son, no details of the father, but later in 1881 Mary Jane married Edward Meyers and in the various following census returns he appears either as David Meyers or Routledge and as 'son' or 'stepson' to the Head of the household (Edward Meyers). I don't think he was formally adopted by Edward. David never married or had children, but ran the family shop with one of his spinster sisters until his death (in the 1960's I think)

Hope that helps?!
