Lancashire / Re: MORE THAN ONE MARRIAGE CEREMONY/IS THIS POSSIBLE
« on: Sunday 24 July 22 23:03 BST (UK)  »
tahnks heywood mvann rosinish oldfashionedgirl, ianscann, I turned to the gro index, scrolled through the relevant decades; I found 3 births that belong to the family I'm researching. Are there any other free bmd records I could check. The family lived in Blackburn, lancs. Nottingham and Sheffield.
 I'll see if I can locate the earlier marriage (probably took place in 1873), place -  Scotland. it's useful to know that the select birth cert in scotland should include a reference to their marriage, thanks for that info. I DO have the 1871 census that shows the spouse aged 20/9 (difficult to read his age as untidy lettering) but he's unmarried in 1871 - so earlier marriage took place between 1871 and 1874/5. geraldine96

sorry rosinish - I'll try and make that account clearer. Their 1st child has a birth record on the Scotland select births and baptism records (born 1875) The Scotland Select Births and Baptisms register Luckily gives the parents' names, the mother is identified using her maiden name . The other children all born between 1875 and 1889 have births recorded on the birth INDEX - that's what I meant to say in my earlier reply. The civil birth index for that timespan  doesn't name the mother.
I would have to use the index to order a full birth certificate from the GRO Suoth'port to get the parents' details.
I use Ancestry to track down records. There are quite a few family trees on Ancestyr that are connected to the family I am interested in - so I can refer to research on these trees and double check it   ygeraldine96

thanks for your reply lisajb, I have just posted a reply to answer earlier posts re the' more than one marriage ceremony; question and it looks as if late marriages weren't 'out of the ordinary'. Even after a couple have had a large family and lived together for a number of years.                            geraldine96

Thanks to all of you who have replied; the post has generated a lot of interesting possibilities; i'll answer some of your questions with this latest post.
Tickety Boo - the 1911 census says they were married for 37 yrs. They had 8 children, 6 were still living.
bearkat - the marriage cert dated 1904 has the groom listed as  a bachelor and the bride is a spinster. Each one has a different address but only the street is named. The marriage took place in Nottingham.
falkyrn - I estimated a possible marriage date based on the 1st child's dob but I haven't found any records to confirm there was an earlier marriage. I think the info you provided re introduction of the old age pension sounds convincing and explains their late marriage or remarriage.
maiden stone - the early civil birth records don't name the mother (no maiden name). There is a birth record of their 1st child (assumed 1st child)whose year of birth is 1875. The record does give both parents' names and the names correspond with the 1908 marriage cert and 1911 census. However you have suggested that a marriage in Scotland may not be registered/irregular - this is interesting because their child born in 1875 was born in Scotland, Perhaps the 1st marriage was held in Scotland. The bride didn't have Irish origins, her parents were church of England. All your replies have been v. interesting , I'll return to my research and see if I can find an earlier marriage which as some of you have suggested was considered irregular; it's abit of a mystery........thank srootschatters, geraldine96

Dear ROOTSCHATTERS - I am researching an ancestor who was born in 1847 and died in 1917 in Sheffield. His 1st child was born in 1874 and therefor he must have married in 1872/3. His background is irish, and I have heard from the living family, he was catholic. However he married in Nottingham in 1908 at the Parish Church of St. Peter 'according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Established Church. I have the marriage certificate which I recently ordered from Southport GRO. He is aged 61 and his wife 56. His wife is the mother of all his children according to the 1911 census - it looks as if they repeated their marriage ceremony - Is there a knowledgeable Rootschatter who can explain the multiple marriage custom (ie the same couple getting married twice) ? Thankyou for  helping me out again Rootschat!

London and Middlesex / ARE THERE RECORDS FOR DIVORCES (1959 - 1972)
« on: Saturday 08 January 22 15:08 GMT (UK)  »
i have recently received a full marriage certificate for a relative as I am researching my family and have a tRee on Ancestry.
In the section  on the certificate(column 4) where the groom is listed as a bachelor, the notary has stamped (not hand written) 'Previous Marriage Dissolved'.
I'd like to trace the previous marriage and think it would be easier to trace the divorce if this is possible.
I am a member of the Ancestry UK site, but I have never attempted to search for divorces, can Roots chatters help me out?
The full marriage cert that I refer to (recently received) is for a marriage that took place at Hendon Register Office, Borough of Barnet. Marriage date was Feb 7th 1972 - I need to find the previous marriage which could have taken place from (1959 - 1971) but as I have outlined in this request for help - it will be easier to find the divorce record if it exists....Thankyou Rootschat - I look forward to reading your replies Geraldine96

Wexford / Re: How do I get a baptismal certificate?

Thanks to Lisjb and wexflyer, I have managed to get a much clearer idea re the application process for citizenship. The 3 generations includes myself: the applicant, my father and my Irish grandmother - it's just as well that I turned to rootschat for help.
 
I can use the Ferns parish link to get  baptismal records for my distant family this will help my ongoing Irish research. It's all much clearer, thanks, Geraldine96

Thanks wexflyer your replies are always full of helpful info. My father was the only child of my Irish grandmother who came from Ferns. My father however was born in London and his father was English. I believe my father lived his life as a British citizen.
If myself and my father(now deceased) are English and resident in England can we count ourselves as part of the 3 generations whose paperwork is needed to apply for citizenship?    Thankyou for any further details re my enquiry. Geraldine96
