Title: Marriage parish record Look up please COMPLETE
Post by: victoriajoule on Wednesday 14 December 11 08:21 GMT (UK)

Hi,

I was wondering if someone would be able to look up the following marriage on the actual parish records ?  I am trying to identify the fathers name of the bride (to ascertain if it was a 2nd marriage or not - which I think it is).  I have found the record on both ancestry and IGI but there is no associated scanned image, so wasn't sure if he was named or not.

groom's name:   Isaac Sharp
bride's name:   Eleanor Charlton
marriage date:   14 Jun 1828
marriage place:   St John Parish, Newcastle Upon Tyne, Northumberland, England
indexing project (batch) number:   M01985-2
system origin:   England-ODM
source film number:   847920

Thanks for any help

Victoria

You needed to look at the Durhan Bishops Transcripts  :D
Here's the entry, bottom right https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-266-11540-126142-44?cc=1309819&wc=11540196

Sadly, father's names weren't very often recorded  :(

Hi Jen

Thanks for looking that up for me - I had completely forgotten about the Bishops transcripts !!  Sadly as you say, the father wasn't recorded....oh well, good try anyway and back to the drawing board !

Thanks for your help
