Birmingham Archives - HOLMES
« on: Wednesday 13 October 10 16:42 BST (UK) »
Can anyone please do me a big favour and look up a marriage in Birmingham Archives ?

The marriage is between William Burgess and Elizabeth Holmes in the June quarter of 1863

I am particularly looking to confirm that Elizabeth was the daughter of my wife's Gt x 2 grandfather Charles Holmes who, I think, was either a Brass Founder/Dresser or a fruiterer at that time.

Also, the names of the witnesses would be helpful.

Many thanks in anticipation

If anyone is able to help Tony, the IGI has an entry for a marriage on 6 th April 1863 at St Peter Dale End

Is this the correct entry Tony?

Yes, this is the marriage entry I would like checked.

Because it was after 1837, I didn't think of trying the IGI first to obtain the precise date.

Many Thanks
