David Thomson

[Karytay]

I am suffering in silence here.

Her mother's side the Brennan's I have managed to get to the great grandfather Dennis Edward Brennan and that's where I have stopped. Her mother's mom the Mitchell's are also not to sure about have to get documentation for that side.

I went to our local FHC this morning.

Not good news, the best  I can do is increase the list of churches where David Thomson and Nina Patterson were NOT married. ( the images they currently have don't include anything as recent as David's second marriage so I can't check that)

RTL already checked St Lawrence and they aren't in there

Nor were they married at St Mark's, St Michael's or St Anthony's that I could see.

The only other churches I can think of in the Byker area are St Silas and
St Martin, neither of which had images in the family search database for Byker.

Or they could have married at a church further away, maybe in Newcastle - which is a LOT of churches in that area.
The other option is they could have married in a register office in which case we won't find a record either online or in any archives.

Oh dear! Boo, that is not good. Thanks for trying.

Their civil marriage registration just says the 1 quarter 1930 Newcastle upon Tyne, Northumberland Vol. 10b page 201.

Will just have to wait for the certificate.

Byker St. Silas marriages are on DRO, nothing there.

Genuki says Byker St. Martin was founded in 1933.

Nina was baptised at Byker St. Michael, and that was the closest church to where she was living in 1929 at 58 Mason St. (assuming she was living with her parents, too young to vote so not on Electoral Register). David and Nina were there living with her parents in 1930.

The assumed David Thomson is with his parents and brother at Corbridge St. about a quarter of a mile away in 1929, but not living with them in 1930. His brother was also baptised at St. Michael, but no sign of Davids baptism there.

So you would expect if they were having a Church Wedding it would be there. Maybe they married elsewhere or at a Registry Office because David had not been baptised.

Yes, I think you might be best off to send for the certificate.  If David was Catholic and Nina C of E they may have chosen to get married in a registry office.

My parents were in that situation when they married in 1936 and as neither wanted to switch denomination they chose the registry office.  However, Dad's local priest was not happy about this and persuaded them a few years later to have another ceremony at the RC Church.  I was able to find an entry about this at the Church of my Dad's baptism.  RC Churches are very good at keeping records I have found.

Karytay, please keep us updated when you get the certificate - I am interested to see now who David's Father was - I suspect it was Cecil but could be wrong - suppose only time and the certificate now will tell.

[Karytay]

I am waiting River Tyne Lass, patiently. I have been looking at the census's and feel Cecil Abbot could be the father, as you suspect.
