Down / William McTear (Mateer) and Sarah Lindsay
« on: Sunday 21 August 11 01:47 BST (UK) »
Hello,
I cannot find a marriage for my g. grandparents William McTear (Mateer) and Sarah Lindsay.
They were from Down and had 3 children baptised Presbyterian in Bangor.
But no sign of a marriage. The church told me they would not have been able to baptize their children if they were unmarried.
But I don't know how to find it.
Without that I cannot find their parents. And as Wm came to England in 1880s without Sarah but with 3 children.
And having been told by a cousin that he came alone but Sarah had not died, i am baffled.
If any one can offer any advice I would be grateful and impart what little more I know.
Thanks
Saffy
