Help identifying Church/District from a HINCKLEY GRO Reference (Complete)

[Truebrit]

Hello

I'm not sure if anyone can provide me with any help in identifying a church or district from a GRO Reference.

I have found the following GRO references and had a brief opportunity to look for the marriage entries at the registry office - although could not find the entries.  Obviously i am trying to avoid paying £7.00 for Certificates and therefore wondered if anyone with local knowledge or other resources could help me locate the entry details in order that i may look them up?

Marriages - Hinckley

John Edwards Webster and Mary Ann Truslove - HINCKLEY JUN Q 1877

Thomas Alsop and Elizabeth Allen - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1871

Thomas Payne and Mary Ann Peat - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1872

William Payne and Elizabeth Barnes - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1878

Henry Martin and Eliza Roberts - HINCKLEY JUN Q 1857

William Payne and Mary Ann Bailey - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1863

John Burton and Hannah Clay - HINCKLEY JUN Q 1874

Henry Wood and Gertrude Elizabeth Whittley - HINCKLEY SEP Q 1904

Frederick Payne and Ada Lois Marshall - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1927

I have skimmed through St Mary's Hinckley and also St Catherines Burbage but could not immediately see any of these.  I know that the HINCKLEY registration area covers a number of towns and villages, as well as alternative churches, and therefore would be grateful if anyone could point me to the right Church or area so that i may look the entries up without the need for ordering Certificates?

Thanks in advance

Hi TB

Are you able to find any of the couples on the nearest censuses
which may show the area they were living in and narrow down the
church or area at all.

Yes - most of them suggest Hinckley or Burbage - that is why im surprised i cannot find the marriage entries!

Greeting’s again. ……… True Brit.

The only one I can CONFIRM :~

Henry Wood. ~ Gertrude Elizabeth Whittley.

1st. August. 1904.
St: Catherine Parish Church.
BURBAGE.
By Banns.

Parents :~

G. = William Wood.
B. = John Power Whittley.

Although your other names did not showed up

CLOSEST :~

PAYNE.

1895.

William Edwin ~ Mary ALSOP….BURBAGE. :~  Father THOMAS Payne.

ALSOP.
1879.
Richard ~ Ann BASSETT………BURBAGE……Father. :~ John.

So. ...Seems like Burbage is the venue to explore ?

Thanks for looking up those.

Seems i might have to order some certificates as whilst i may have missed some in my Burbage review there weren't a huge number of entries each year to have missed.

The first entry seems correct and i will look that up again.

Thanks

Ummm ? ......

Would you like to recheck your :~

William Payne and Mary Ann Bailey - HINCKLEY DEC Q 1863

I have that William either married
Mary Norton or Sarah Ann Geary
In  Hinckley District
Cert 7 a 177.

Mary Ann Bailey either married
Henry Dodge or Henry Arthur Gamble
In LEICESTER. Cert 7 a 495.

OR Cert 7a 378 in Leicester.
Edwin Hubble or William Taylor.

MIKE.

[Truebrit]

Mike

You are indeed correct.

I had mixed my marriage dates round.

William Payne married twice.  First to Mary Ann Bailey in Jun 1845 and then to Mary Norton in Dec 1863.  Both in Hinckley district!  From looking again i think that the Webster, Payne, Wood amnd Alsop marriages are probably Burbage (although i could not immediately find these in the Parish Records!).  I think the Burton one is probably the Wesleyan Chapel in Hinckley and the Martin one i am not sure of although would imagine its a church in Hinckley.

Thanks again for everyones help.

The CofE churches in Hinckley Registration District that licensed for marriages were:

Aston Flamville
Burbage
Burton Hastings
Sapcote
Sharnford
Stoney Stanton
Higham-on-the-Hill
Hinckley
Hinckley Trinity
Stoke Golding
Barwell
Elmsthorpe
Earl Shilton

There were also 2 Baptist chapels, 5 Wesleyan and one each of Catholic, Presbyterian, Independent and Congregational chapels, all of whose marriages up to 1898 would be recorded in the registers of one of the Registrars of Marriage, held at the Register Office.

This list is from 1878, so there it may not be accurate for all the dates you mention, but it should be close enough to give you a general idea.

Does this help?

Good luck anyway.
