Marriage look up Merchant to Brewin.

[Rab65]

Hello,

I wonder if anyone with access to the Leicestershire records would undertake a marriage search for me please?
I am looking for a marriage between John Merchant and Ellen Brewin. They were living at East Street, Leicester in 1860-1862 but I do not have any further information for them both.
I suspect that they were both born about 1835-1845 but have not been able to prove that.
The marriage search could be anywhere between 1840-1865? I really am not able to offer any more details for this couple, a long shot I know but I would be grateful if someone would conduct a search for me.
Thank you.

Could this be it?

Marriage of an Ellen Brewin Melton Mowbray RD Leics Q2 1858 Vol7a Pg 355

However none of the sites seems to have details of the spouse of this marriage.

Can't see a John Merchant in that quarter?

Groom is likely to be Charles Inman, who has a dodgy page number!

Hi,

I don`t know if that is the correct record or not but thank you very much for trying.
On the ancestry website there are a few Ellen/Helen Brewin marriages but I see no John Merchant on any of them. I would very much like to order a marriage certificate for this couple, if they did marry, in order to find out who their respective Fathers were and try and take my search back from there.

They had a daughter Betsy born in 1862 and this is how I, finally, found out her Mother`s maiden name and the address of East Street. I have come up with nothing new on the familysearch.org website.
I wondered if there was anyone available that had access to the parish registers in Leicester at all to see if they married there?
But, even having said that I cannot find this couple in any of the censuses so perhaps they might come from another area in the Midlands, hmm need to extend my search further.
Once again thank you.

Just to add in order to save people time I have searched through the Leicester parish and marriage databases here at rootschat.

Are you saying that there is a birth, in 1862, of Betsy Merchant?

Hi KGarrard,

Yes thats the one--Betsy Merchant. I ordered and received the birth certificate, that is where I learnt the Mother`s maiden name and address.

I can see from the ancestry search results that there were quite a few Brewin`s living in Leicester in the 1860s but how do I associate and connect one of those families with Ellen Brewin?
She may well have originated from a different place altogether.

I have now learnt that the name was an English name---I thought it was foreign at first and Brewin has quite a few name spelling variations e.g Bruin; Bruen; Bruyn; Brune and Brewern etc.. so I really do need to go back and widen my search in the hope of yeilding new results.

Thank you for your time.
