Help with marriage please
« on: Saturday 26 June 10 23:55 BST (UK) »
Looking for any help please with finding the marriage of the parents of two children, John (born abt 1803) and Catherine Crowter.  

We know Catherine (born abt 1805) was baptised in Canterbury and that matches her place of birth in the 1851 census.  Her baptism showed her parents as John and Susannah Crowter.

Her mother Susannah, enumerated with her in 1851 as widowed, (and confusingly entered as Crowther) was born abt 1769 in Canterbury.  John had died before 1851.

Marriage registrations for John and Catherine and their children all showed Crowter as the name.

Have not been able to find any Crowter marriages in Kent for a John to a Susannah on the IGI (could only find Crowther's which was a more common name).

IGI Catherine Crowter
 Christening:  07 OCT 1804   Canterbury, Kent, England
Parents:
  Father:  John Crowter  
  Mother:  Susanna Crowter  
Batch No I021993 (note there are only female baptisms in this batch)

Thank you very much Mearkat for this information which will be really useful. ;D

I wasn't aware of Family Search pilot version until I saw your link - I'm wondering now if fronts a database with more information than the other version FamilySearch has.
