Cumberland Lookup Requests / Re: David Forsyth/Forsythe marriage look up please.
« on: Wednesday 16 December 20 07:59 GMT (UK)  »
Just to put an end to the saga.....the marriage certificate arrived yesterday and showed that David's father was indeed William Forsyth and not David Rankin Forsyth so all the Ancestry trres are incorrect. It just shows how careful you have to be when using other peoples 'research'.
Have a lovely Christmas everyone and thank you for all your help.

I will but it will probably be months before the marriage cert arrives, such a pity they can't be downloaded.

The details for the David Forsythe 1848-1933 on Find a Grave clearly state that he is the son of David Rankin Forsythe and so not the David born in Ireland whose father was William, therefore the one who  is in Carlisle all his life seems likely to be the David who was born in Ireland and the marriage certificate would clarify this. I just hoped that someone might just have had some paper records for St.James Church in Carlisle that would have given a quick answer.
I think the replies that have come in today from Sandra and trish1120 confirm my theory but I'll send for the marriage cert just to make sure. Many thanks indeed for all the information.

Yes I have all that too.I still suspect that the David on the census returns is actually the one born in Ireland though, he came to England as a very small child so may not have known that he was born in Ireland. The Ancestry trees all follow the Carlisle born David through till his death but this is incorrect as the Carlisle born David,the son of David Rankin Forsythe actually went to America and died there which leads me to believe that the one on the census is actually the Irish one, son of William and Ellen.I am going to have to send for the marriage certificate I think, I just had the hope that someone on here might just have had a faster solution. Thanks anyway.

Thank you but I have all the above details. The problem is that there were two David Forsythe's and I think the Ancestry trees have got confused. There is a David born 1848 in Ireland and a David born 1848 in Carlisle bith living in Carlisle at the same time, I know the Ancestry trees show the details of the one born in Carlisle but he went to America so the trees are incorrect somewhere along the line. The trees have the 1870 marriage as a David Forsythe marrying a Mary Ann Magnay but I need to know who the father of David was on this marriage to know which David it was. I know I can send for a marriage cert but it will take forever!

I appreciate this isn't the ideal time to be requesting look ups but in case anyone has access to anything that might help please...........
David Forsythe married Mary Ann Magnay on 23 July 1870 at St.James Church, Carlisle and I am desperate to know who the father of David was. I've found the father of Mary Ann from a newspaper but unfortunately it didn't give the father of David.
Many thanks.

I found one for Dorothy but couldn't find one for Robert. I'm still debating whether or not it is worth the gamble!

Yes I've got details of the court case Millmoor, thanks, unfortunately that didn't give his real name so it didn't get me very far. Interesting though!
