Spriggs/Goodhand Marriage
« on: Monday 16 July 07 21:56 BST (UK) »
Hello There.......

I have just tried to register with Scotlandspeople ......but nothing is happening !!

I am looking for a marriage between a male SPRIGGS and a female GOODHAND, which took place I would think , between 1915-1924.........

I can find the birth of their daughter, born in England 1926, but I have searched endlessly fofr their marriage, and wondered if it took place in Scotland, where I am assured one of the them was born.........

On the 1901 census, there are only two "Spriggs" in Scotland, one is James, who is 45, born in England,and his wife Mary, who is 34, and stated to have been born Auchterless......they are living at Falkirk.........they may have had a son after 1901 ?

I would appreciate any help with this, as it is my first foray, into Scottish research.........

Many Thanks

JeannieR

There are two male Spriggs marriages in the index on ScotlandsPeople.  Both appear to have taken place in 1921.  But there are no Goodhand marriages between 1915 and 1924.   :(

PS No Spriggs births 1901-1906 (that's the latest the online index goes to.

John......

You are a STAR !!

That is definitely them. Betty Spriggs was born in Lincoln, and registered in the March of 1926....naughty.....

I have to admit, that I wasn't looking for the marriage in the same qtr, but I had worked back from 1925.

Thankyou so much...

Kind Regards

Jeannie
