Frail/Hughes Marriage Record - Canada
« on: Thursday 16 July 15 13:32 BST (UK) »
Hello,
Can anyone help with the following please?
Looking for a marriage record for a Thomas Frail (mother's name possibly Annie) and Helen Hughes (mother's maiden name possibly Coyle) in Canada around 1929. Thomas could have been aound 24 at the time of the marriage and was in the merchant navy.
Thomas Frail is believed to have been from Jarrow in Co; Durham, England.
Am looking to find a trace of the marriage in order to establish wether their were any Scottish or Irish origins for this couple.

Any ideas greatly appreciated!Many thanks.
Carol

Sorry can't help with a marriage record :(

1911 https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XWCM-23M
Shows a Thomas Frail born 1905 Jarrow living Chester le Street

Using Freesearch with last name & other person first name Thomas
Shows following persons in household
John 1867, Annie 1869, Peter 1908 & Barnard 1910

You would need to view the actual census to see pob, address, occ etc..

Do you have access to the census?

I can look at the 1901 to see pob for parents

as you have gone off line and I don't know if you have access to census have

ADDED

Jun 1902 Castle W vol 10b page 572
John FRAILL name on same page Annie ROWAN

so it looks as if Annie may have been married before - her pob is IRELAND

1901c RG13; Piece: 4816; Folio: 72; Page: 25
17 Elizabeth St Northumberland
Annie ROWAN widow 33 (1869) Ireland
James 21 Sunderland coal miner hewer
John 18 coal miner
Annie 6  Durham
Margaret 4
Edward 2

For info.
There’s an on line tree on Anc*

John Frail born Cotting Scotland parents John & Margaret gives 1881c https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:X355-WPP
Annie Frail born Co Down Ireland
Edward Rowan 1899
Joseph Rowan 1901
Thomas Frail 1905
Peter Frail 1908
Barnard Frail 1909-1987

Hope that someone can help you with the marriage detail for Thomas Frail to Helen Hughes to confirm if these are his parents

The marriage record stated that Helen's parents were from Kiloyth Scotland.  There is a passenger record for a Helen Hughes arriving in Montreal in 1928.  The record shows she is 21 and born in Kilsyth.  Her nearest British relative is given as brother Patrick Hughes of Lilydale Road Kilsyth.  If you buy some credits at ScotlandsPeople you should be able to find her in the 1911 census as well as deaths for her and Thomas if they remained in Scotland.
