Thankyou for the date.  I have tried various sites including the one Leanne mentioned but hadn't had any luck.  I haven't had to do much searching of Qld. BDM for years.  Can the Place of Marriage be found or do you have to apply for a Certificate to find that out?
Fancy getting married in N.Q. in mid-summer!

I am trying to find the marriage of Edward Feltham to Louisa Larsen said to be in Townsville in 1908.  Later I believe they lived in Ravenswood where Edward Feltham worked in the Mines,.
Any help appreciated.

I have found a Frances Maude born in Norland (yorkshire) daughter of John Maude.  She married William Horsfall on 1st September 1849.  This was found on IGI, information taken from 1881 CEnsus.  I have not been able to confirm their marriage on BDM

Thanks to all those who replied.
Regarding the Marriage Certificate of Mary Ann Maude.  The witnesses were "Amos Crowther" and "James Boothroyd" and the names of the parents were entered.  The bride's father was said to be Joseph Drake occupation "Mason". I have tried previously to find Joseph Drake in the Stainland, Elland area where they were married.  Maybe that he came from an area closer to Bradford.
I had noted that there was a Frances Maud in Hunslet but found that Hunslet was closer to Leeds and hoped to find something around Bradford.
I found the marriage of Joshua Maud and Mary Hartley on 23/2/12 in Bradford but could't find any birth for Frances (or Fanny) that tied in.  I am limited in resources really so appreciate any information and welcome suggestions (as long as they are kind ones!)
I only assumed that Frances was a single mother as there wasn't any father mentioned on her Certificate.  Maybe she was married or  widowed?

Thanks for your reply.  What you have sent regarding her birth and baptism  is practically all I know.
Some extra info on Mary Anns baptism record from the register :
Baptised - 28th July 1829, Mary Ann - a female, Born - in the Parish of Bradford 14th August 1828,  Mother - Frances Maud, Abode - Clayton, Occupation - Weaver, Her X mark, baptised by Josiah Partington  This information was sent to me previouslys yet I don't have her birth certificate
I am trying to find the registration number of Mary Ann Maud's birth so that I may apply for a birth certificate. As it is prior to BMD could you tell me where I can look for the registration number?  Mary Ann Maud was married in 1850 in Elland to William Shaw.  On her marriage certificate the signature for her father was Joseph Drake.
I have information on Mary and Ann, her husband and children, my aim now is to find out more about Frances Maud and her parents.

Thanks for your reply.  I am sure that I have the wrong couple as Frances Maud I am looking for gave birth to a daughter about 1829.  Back to the drawing board.

Unfortunately it seems a co-incidence with people the same name.  FRances Maud/Maude was possibly born about 1809 (I don't know the exact date) which would make the age difference incorrect.  She gave birth to a daughter Mary Ann Maude (single mother) about 1829 who was married in 1850 in Elland Church.
The marriage I found of Frances Maud and Alfred Hartley was 1856.  The ages don't seem to be right
I will do some more work on it tomorrow and see what else I can come up with.
Thanks for your information.
Marg.
