Helping a friend - Looking for any info. British subject married in Buenos Aires in 1904 at St Martin's Church, and then again (to same lady!) in registry office in UK in 1906.  Was this a usual way to legalise the marriage within the UK ? 

This would come under the Foreign Marriage Act 1892 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/Vict/55-56/23/contents/enacted

All marriages of British subjects contracted in foreign countries, according to to the forms required by the lex loci contractus * are recognised as valid marriages by the English Courts except in cases where the parties would not be competent, by the law of England, to contract a valid marriage. *"law of the place where the contract is made” "1868 Royal Commission on the Laws of Marriage"

The modify Button has disappeared (for me in RC right now, anyway!)


Two children baptised same day:  18 May 1879, Parish of Keighley:
Parents Benjamin MIDGLEY, Woolsorter and Elizabeth, of South Street:
Herbert Benjamin MIDGLEY, born 24 Jul 1875
Elizabeth Ann MIDGLEY, born 3 April 1879

My typo - he was  baptised as  Herbert MIDGLEY  - no middle name!

Cheers

Hello  Thanks to everyone for the information, and the researched detail. Herbert and wife Ramona were in Yorkshire for their marriage in 1906, but cannot find them in 1911.  Will pass on all info to my friend.
 Many thanks

The man was Herbert Midgley b 24 Jul 1878 in Keighley Yorkshire and his wife (from British marriage cert was Ramona Miro b abt 1832.  I have Herbert in 1891 census still living unmarried, with his widowed mother in Keighley and (at what seems a young age)  a worsted spinning overlooker.  On the marriage cert his occupation is worsted overlooker so probably went out to Argentina in connection with wool trade.
Thank you both very much for your help and sites to look at,
Brenda
Hi, is the birth year correct for Ramona, she would have 46 years his senior

Hi! I registered only to post here! Mi name is Dr. Javier Vaca from C. A. Boca Juniors of Buenos Aires (yes, football!), i work in the Comission of History. We have some info about Herbert "Heriberto" Midgley on our archives. He became member of the club in 1940, on his request for that we can read "Heriberto Midgley" "english", born july 24th 1875, married, adress: Caseros 983 (Buenos Aires City), 64 years old. According the inmigration data base of Argentina, he arrived in june 17th 1910 as Herbert Midgley, 34 years old, married, "spanish" (?) came from Barcelona aboard the "Prince Umberto".
Weel that's all, i hope can be useful.
Regards.
