The St Helena parish registers have been digitised by Witwatersrand University (Historical Papers Research Archive) – free access.

http://researcharchives.wits.ac.za/diocese-of-st-helena-parish-registers-and-indices

There’s a Garrison Church, as well as several parishes (St James, St John, St Paul etc.). The registers aren’t searchable by name. You have to browse the images for each parish and look for the marriage date.
Thanks for this, the writing is hard to read sometimes but it's fascinating.

The marriage is also in the Friends of St Helena database (Mitchell James Reid) but you need to subscribe to see the detail:

Thanks for this link, I shall investigate.

Does anyone know how I go about tracing a marriage in St Helena.
Mitchel Reid (Royal Engineers ) married Mary Keily on St Helena on 3rd June 1866.
I got This information from the birth of 2 of their children who were registered at at Garrioch Barracks Maryhill.
I have looked on the NA site and FindMyPast and found  no details any advice on where to try next will be appreciated.

Berwickshire / Re: Gibson and Miller Family - Edrom Parish
« on: Saturday 08 July 23 07:23 BST (UK)  »
I know this is an old thread but I have a brick wall to get around. I have been looking for links between the Trotter and Gibson families.  My 2x Great Grandmother was Isabella Trotter (Her mother was  born in Edrom) and she  named her Daughter Matilda Gibson  Key born 1887. This always puzzled us as we knew of no connection in the Key family so we thought it must be a Trotter connection.
So was interested to read this thread as I think there probably was a connection even if illegitimate.

Do you have his army records? Both FindMyPast and Fold3 have transcribed the surname as Collie.

Thank you, that may be why I haven't had any luck with Military records. I will try again with revised spelling.

When he married Mary Elizabeth Lockwood at St Michael's Church, Aldershot on the 20 August 1858, he declared that he was a Corporal in the 10th Hussars. The National Probate Calendar shows that he resided at 8 Hamilton Street, Newcastle upon Tyne when he died on the 15 January 1892. He was buried at Elswick Cemetery on the 18 January 1892. A terrific obituary in the Newcastle Courant, 23 January 1892.

There are a number of public family trees on Ancestry, unfortunately none have photograph of George but a couple of trees have a photo of his wife.
Hi,
Yes, it's a good obituary isn't it. A brave man, I think. Many thanks for the reply

Northumberland / Photo of George Collier

George Collier 1832- c1892 was in the army for pretty much all his adult life.
He began in the 10th Hussars (becoming Troop sergeant Major)and in  later life joined a North East regiment. His obituary in c1892 was titled Death of an old Soldier detailed his postings to the Crimea and India.
George married Mary Elizabeth Lockwood in 1858. The couple lived in many locations and had many children. I would like to try and trace a photo of George. I wrote to the 10th Hussars museum but they never replied and was wondering if any of his other descendents had family pictures they would be willing to share a copy of.
