Thomas McCall and Rose Riley Marriage Document

[jjjenkin]

Hello.  I wanted to ask if someone could copy a marriage certificate and email it to me.
I'm interested in the marriage of Thomas McCall and Rose Riley which took place in 1857
in Blackburn, Lancashire, England.

Thanks so much,

Josh

Hi There!

I joined today too,good hunting.

I have found the marriage of Rosanna Riley to Thomas McCall
which took place at Blackburn registry office in 1857

The reference number is Rm/15/142 records being held at
Blackburn registry Office. I do not have the GRO number But I will look for it on 1837online and get back to you, with this number you can buy certificates online. Are you based in U.K?

Kind regards
JeannieR

Thanks for the reply.  I'm actually in the United States...I saw how to order it.
I just thought I could get it faster if someone visited the office for me.  Perhaps
what you've suggested is the best route???

Thanks,

Josh

Hi JJ.

As promised, I have the website address for the General Record
Office in Southport. It is www.gro.gov.uk. They are very reliable,
or they have been so far, for me.

I looked on 1837online, but the only Rose Riley I could find was registered in Manchester. Named as Rose Ann Riley the GRO
number is 5d 359, if you log on to their site they do give an e-mail address. I Think the quarter was june/july/august.

I am just going to babysit (Look After my grandchldren) I will have another search if I get back in reasonable time.

I am based in Yorkshire , so it is not possible to go and phyically
do a search for you

Best Regards JeannieR

Hi and thanks for the lookup. 
By chance I was actually born in North Yorkshire...parents
not born there but they just lived there for awhile.

Hi there Josh.

Don't bother about the Rose Ann Riley registered in Manchester, her groom was called John Hickson, so she is not yours!!

I am pretty new to all this, have been doing my family research for just over a year, not doing too well with my mother's parents side,but have gone right back to the 1790's with her fathers side. and about the same with my dad's family. Not bad to say I knew nothing at the start.

I am hoping for a bit of help from more experienced genealogists, now I have hit the proverbial brick wall.

I am based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. Perhaps your parents were at Menwith Hill? Don't answer this if that is a sensitive question.

Will be in touch if I can find any more info.
Goodnight
Jeannie

I was actually born in Harrogate...hehe.
Thanks for looking into that for me. 
I don't know anything really about the area as I was
2 when I left for the US.  I have no idea what Menwith Hill
is!?!
