Antrim / Re: Marriage registration - McClune /Todd

Thank you so much!  Can you tell me the source for the marriage information?  Is it anything you can photograph or otherwise transmit to me?

Kingsgate, so I can get it straight ... re the James - Magt marr 1830:    Is that James Todd m Magt Magee?  Or are you speaking of McConnell's?

hmmm no marriage to Rachael; not sure what to make of that.

Is that what a waterman is! -- something related to boats?  I keep forgetting Sussex is on the coast, I'm not sure what I thought it might be.

Where is Leenside, I've not heard of it before?

I have printed off your input -- & thank you for your assistance.  I cannot place Sarah back to 1818, but maybe something unexpected will turn up when the 1851 census comes out.  What was your source, please?

Nottinghamshire Lookup Requests / birth of Sarah SMITH c 1821 Nottm
« on: Friday 12 August 05 02:17 BST (UK)  »
Sarah's 1842 marriage certificate names her father as John Smith (waterman). 

The 1861 census states Sarah, age 41, was born St Mary, Nottm

The 1871 census identifies John as "gdfather" & "Rachel" as "gdmother" in the home of Sarah's daughter, Maria, & his birthplace is given as Newark, Notts while Rachel's is given as Colchester, Essex.

When I worked backwards from 1871, the 1861 census for John has Rachel spelled RACHAEL. and I found an IGI record for the marriage of JOHN SMITH to RACHAEL PALMER 18 Mar 1827.

However, if this is the right couple, the c 1821 birth (1861-41) of Sarah, does not fit.  I did not find an IGI record that fit, either.

Does anyone have another source that would help me?

That last one did not scan well, so maybe.  I will pick up the original & try again in a few days -- although I am not sure how to show it to you without scanning it??

Thanks so much for what you have done.  I did not have a clear image of her.
