Buckhaven Marriage ,Hansen

[ninkynoo]

I am trying to demolish a brick wall. Can anyone help by finding a marriage between William Hansen and Elizabeth c 1878-1880.
I have no idea what Elizabeths maiden name is and would love to find out who she was.
William and Elizabeth (Betsy) moved to Northshields before 1881.I do know William came from Denmark and was a fisherman.The family ended up in Great Yarmouth .So ties in with fishing ports.
Elizabeth says in census's that she was born in Buckhaven .I have searched the England marriage indexes ,to no avail ,and can only presume she married in Buckhaven.
Any help really appreciated.
Regards

Hi Lin

I think you are in luck!

Doing a search on www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk for a marriage between William Hanson and Elizabeth (leave her surname blank) produces only 1 result between 1878 and 1880.

By a process of elimation, the marriage took place in 1880 in Paisley, Renfrew.

For a small amount (£1.20) although you will have to spend £6, which will give you a total of 5 certificates, if your searches are good!, you can download their marriage certificate, which will show Elizabeth's maiden name and more importantly the names of both sets of parents.

Hope this is the one.

Best wishes

Hi Lin

You don't need to order the cert. You can print it off after you join Scotlandspeople.

Remember it only costs 6 credits per item, so you can hopefully find 4 more to print off.

Best wishes
