Assuming you are looking at an index entry ?

It means that the person appears on the register with two surnames ....such as  "x otherwise y" or " x formerly y".


Is this due to remarriage of a parent?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

These are the details he gave me... Grandad William Francis Graham born 21st 23d ? August 1918 died 21st October 1996 age 78..... Kathleen Graham ne Carney born 23d October 1921 Died 13 August 1986 age 65


They are believed to have been from the Liverpool area.

The marriage entry I found seems to match the time line as my friend has seen a photo of his grandfather in military uniform at the time of his marriage.

If I search on births I can find a marriage entry for Kathleen K Greenhalgh in Dec 1919 in Prescot.

It may be a case of needing to see the marriage certificate to progress.

The Common Room / 2 names on marriage entry
« on: Monday 01 May 23 08:19 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,

I've looked up a 1942 marriage for a friend and found that the entry lists the surname of his Grandmother as Greenhalgh or Kearney.

I've never seen a register entry list two names before and didn't want to jump to assumptions of previous marriages etc.

Any ideas?

spouse:   Elizabeth Watson

Found this info via a google search on John Mawson Kirkby Overblow - http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/a/r/Andy-Barrett/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0490.html

Thanks for that pels.
You have indeed listed all of their children, at least I didn't find any more when I trawled the parish registers at Northallerton.
I agree that the naming pattern is almost an exact match, minus the Elizabeth and Sarah part.

I am not 100% sure of what you mean by proving he is not the one born in Kirkby Overblow.
I thought the naming pattern made it likely that he was the one born in Kirkby Overblow.

I am tempted to order the other Johns death certificate, however this would provide no indication as the where he was born.

Thanks for that folks.
I presume 'of this parish' means at the time of marriage and not at birth.
Looks like I hadn't overlooked anything important, any ideas how to move forward?

Hi all,

At the following for post you will see I am stuck on my paternal line and clinging to hope that their is a clue somewhere within the information I have that I could have missed.
Please could you have a look at the marriage entry taken from the parish register and advise as to what information you can make out.

Also, I recall that the witnesses appear several times for various marriages and were more than likely professional witnesses rather than friends/relatives.
