Robert Henry Priscott born 1877 Bristol Gloucestershire, in 1901 he is still single living at home with his parents Matthew and Lucy Priscott. By 1911 he is married with 2 children. His wife is called Jessie Stnithers Priscott born 1878 in Lanarkshire Airdrie.
I cannot find a marriage in England so am wondering if the marriage took place in Scotland. The 2 children are called Matthew James born 1906 and Margaret born 1906, both born in Bristol. I also am having problems finding their birth reg on the GRO site which would of given me the mother's maiden name.
Any help would be appreciated.

If you purchase the Scottish marriage record, as found by rosie99, it should provide more details than an English one of the time would, and at a very reasonable cost .

Thanks, Scotsmum, I have added that site onto my bookmark.

Snap, just found the 1881/1891/and 1901 census for Jessie on FindMyPast. Looks like she was a Governess in Newton Abbot in 1901 guess that was where they met.

You'll find her birth certificate will list her parents place and date of marriage. Buying 30 credits for £7.50 will enable you to purchase her birth, marriage and her parents marriage records, and still have some credits left.

Will do so, thanks
