1851 look up please

BMD have an Elizabeth Maghie marriage at W Derby March 1859 
this could be about right as she would be 19yrs old

there are two males to pick from Patrick Burns and James Mitchell

do I have to send for a marriage certificate to find out if this is Elizabeth

and I suppose i could enter the two mens names

Elizabeth

Hang on and I'll try to eliminate them from looking at the 1861 census

If you do want to buy the cert, you can always ask the local reg office to check any known details before you buy (or you can pay a fee for that if you order through the GRO)

Thanks Barbara

I have been charged before from GRO when they have done a search for a certificates

Elizabeth

[Ecneps]

Sorry can't see Elizabeth married to either of those two, in 1861 census.  There's a Patrick Burns married to an Elizabeth who was born Wigan, did you realise West Derby is in Lancashire?

You don't suppose she could have married a Lowthian do you?

Probably not
Marriages Mar 1860 
Ellison    Elizabeth        Penrith    10b   421   
Lowthian    Thomas         Penrith    10b   421    
Scott    William         Penrith    10b   421    
Walker    Elizabeth         Penrith    10b   421

They were in Plumpton Wall, childless, in 1861 too.

[Ecneps]

Oh, Geoff, thanks for that!  It was just a thought late last night and I didn't follow it through    Thought it would have been too much of a coincidence.

Ho hum, back to the drawing board, or at least back to searching the 1861 for her...

Just popped in
Thanks to both of you
Like you say Barbara it was a thought and it was very late
