hi

general query

With roots chatters help have found a marriage in 1814 listed on two sites.  Both show witness names but not fathers, presumably they were not recorded on the original document.  Would this be unusual, or because maybe both were deceased and/or because it was out of their normal parish (?) - although they were both said to be residents of the village they were married in.

Thankyou all

I have now read the answers you gave previously on this question - very sorry if you felt like you were repeating yourselves - had never seen these before.

They have given me somewhere to start.

Hi all

Hypothetical Query - if a person committed suicide in the 1880's, how would identification, registration and burial/disposal of the body have been handled.

I'm assuming no identity on said person, or anything left to suggest reason etc., and found in a city location.

Does anyone know if much effort would have been put in to try and find an identity?  Would the person have been buried in consecrated ground, or was it considered a crime?

Would it have been considered a newsworthy story/did they have inquests?

Have the possibility of one in the family and don't know where to start looking.

Hi Dobfarm

Just taken another look at the certificate and it does not state deceased.  Having said that he was not with his wife Ann on the 1841 census and I couldn't find him listed separately, so would assume he was.
 I was rather hoping if I could find his marriage and who Ann was, a family grouping showing other children born to them, but from what Keyboard 86 has found, it looks as if Edward Mountain was the only one to survive, to the beginnings of the census.
Currently working through all the info. you both sent me.

Thankyou Dobfarm and Keyboard for your continued interest and help.

I have looked at all the parish records/bishops transcripts that I have access to, and come up with nothing. 
I went on the old IGI and did find the Susannah Sanders - also with a death entry of 17th Sept. 1833.

Re: the middle name Mountain - haven't been able to confirm the marriage between John Saunders/Ann Jaques 1818, as you suggested,  but did find on IGI a Thomas Jaques married to an Ann Mountain; they apparently had two children, William b.1778 and Ann b.1779 - haven't found any  marriages yet, but maybe William had a daughter Ann, and she's the one who married John Saunders and used her mothers maiden name as a middle name?
 
As for the Peirpoint, no idea at all - didn't even know he existed, the only one I know of is the one who pulled the rope for the long drop!

[the other witness on Edwards marriage cert was Joshua Barker, brides brother - brides mother was a Stevenson]

Dobfarm -  the reference you made to John and son Thomas innkeeper retired, at Gretna - does that have a year for reference?

again thankyou both,  very much appreciated.

Thanks a million Keyboard 86

I went through what I thought were all the parish records, without success; I obviously missed a lot. Reason for the move from Knaresborough to Shelf - eldest daughter has been researching this side of the family for several years now, but was stuck on who Edward Mountain Saunders mum Ann was. As you rightly summised the witness at their wedding being a Stevenson, and the 1861/1871 census with names/villages so close, looked like a good possibilty. Most of the family (direct line) moved to the Sheffield area from Knaresborough.

Once again thankyou very much for your time and effort
