Family History Beginners Board / Re: Would you order a marriage cert...?
« on: Monday 28 January 13 15:22 GMT (UK)  »
Just to let you know that if you chose to order the certificate from the General Register Office using the volume and page numbers, you WON'T get the option to name the fathers as a reference check. This service stopped 3 years ago.

You can order certificates without the volume and page numbers but you have to specify the date and place of the marriage as well as the fathers names

Quote from the GRO ordering page

Date of marriage (dd/mm/yyyy)*
(If you do not know the exact date enter 01/01/1877, we will search the specified year and one either side)   
Place of marriage *

The * indicates that these are mandatory fields, the fathers names are not.

This service can take 15-21 working days

Thanks dawn, I was aware of that. Would I be able to order the cert direct from Neath with the proviso that I only want it if the father's name matches?

Sadly only have them after the marriage and birth of their children in the censuses - I've exhausted the knowledge of my mother and her mother to get this line back as far as I have. John was a Coal Miner throughout the censuses. I have possibly got them on the 1881 before the birth of their children, but with such common names.... *shrugs*

Possible direct line, groom (a potential set of my 2x gt grandparents) - my dilemma is do I buy the cert without proof they are mine, and even if I bought the cert,  would it provide proof as to whether they are mine or not :(

Searching for the marriage of John THOMAS and Elizabeth Ann EDWARDS.

Would you order a marriage cert... if it was the only option with the right names in the right place (Neath, Glamorgan) in the right timeframe (1875-91)?

You won't find a birth record as he was born before the start of civil registration (1837) but there is a baptism on the new FamilySearch in Holywell on 20 Oct 1808 - the father is given as Thomas Jones? No mother's name given.

Bagillt is 3 miles from Holywell.

Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / Re: abraham schofield

Am I missing something here? I know the age of consent being 16 is a relatively recent thing, but married at 4? Taking it a bit far! :D

Ignore me, read marriage year wrong!

Cambridgeshire / Re: Threadder as a family name

Only thing that comes to mind off the top of my head is that it could have been as a condition of being a beneficiary of a will, but I'm sure there could be other reasons.
