Hi,

Possible marriage registration for John Perkins and Sarah Carter SepQ 1839 in Bristol.  A copy of the certificate should show if John was a bachelor or widower.


John Perkins  SepQ 1839   Bristol  11   152     (from FreeBMD)

have you got them on the census or do you need a look up?

Hi,

His marriage will be in the parish register; you can also get a copy of the certificate from the GRO.   The cost is £7 and can be ordered online at:

http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/certificates

You will need the reference details I gave earlier.

Certs usually take about 7 days to arrive.

need a look up please x

if John was married before 1839 would i have to go to parish records for that,
i have his sone john married to hannah

Hi,

If the marriage in 1839 was John's second marriage he should be shown as "widower" in the register and on the certificate.

Civil registration began in  July 1837 so parish registers would need to be searched for an earlier marriage.

For their address for the 1841 census does Abbots leigh sound like the right area?
