I would be very grateful for a look up please.
I am looking for the marriage Charles Robert BORRETT & Ellen CRAKE (Woodbridge 1893). I can find no record of Ellen before her marriage to Charles. Borrett is spelt many ways and has sometimes appeared as Barrett but in the marriage index it is correct. Really interested to see if Ellen has been married before.
TIA

To look up a marriage you need to know which church they married in. The Woodbridge RD covered a lot of different areas
-
Unfortunately Carol I don't have that information; all I know is that the family lived in Hasketon. I believe that some of the family are buried at St Andrews, so this might be the church.
-
The 1901 census shows son Harold J.
Using the GRO index to look at his birth registration, this shows the mothers maiden name to be Crake, inferring Ellen hadn't been married before.

Thank you Dawnsh,
That ties up that little query. Now to find out where she has been hidding; found her on the 1891 census.
Must remember to use the GRO more - it's one of those tools you know about but didn't use in this case.
If anyone could help with the marriage I'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks again

Here is the marriage of Charles & Ellen with the Volume & Page number to allow you to purchase the marriage certificate which should give the place where they were resident.
First name(s) Charles Robert
Last name Borrett
Marriage quarter 3
Marriage year 1893
Charles Robert Borrett married one of these people
Harriett Gertrude Sheldrake, Ellen Crake
District Woodbridge
District number -
County Suffolk
Volume 4A
Page number 1415
-
Having checked these parish registers today, I can confirm that the marriage did not take place at Hasketon, Hacheston or Grundisburgh
-
The page range for that quarter is 1373-1421, the entry you are interested in is 1415 which is at the top end of the range.
The GRO order for marriages is Anglican, Jewish, Quaker, registrar attended (for other denominations) or register office.
In this case though, the Guild of One Name Studies marriage locator suggests Woodbridge St Mary

According to the 1901 and 1911 census's Ellen was born 1872 in Lowestoft. Can't find a birth or census record for her.
-
Robert and Ellen are buried at St.Andrews church Hasketon.
Robert died 1951 age 86 and Ellen 1960 age 89.

Thank you Annes, Dawnsh and Solidrock for taking the time to look out for the information provided it is much appreciated.
