Marriage Look up please - Sheltons in Rutland
« on: Friday 22 April 11 09:12 BST (UK) »
Hello   

I have found a registered marriage between an Arthur Shelton and Elizabeth Walker in 1905 in Oakham.

However, does anyone have access to the marriage records/marriage banns so that I can be certain about Elizabeth and her background. In the 1911 census its show Arthur and his wife and two sons, with Mrs Elizabeth Shelton (Walker) as being born abt 1884 in Manton  But looking at registered births,  I have found an Elizabeth Walker born in Oakham 1884 (not Manton) alhtough there is an Eliza Walker born in Manton abt1884.  Which one is Mrs Shelton?

Can anyone help to confirm either way? This is my first ever look up, so hope it works out!!

Thanks, Kim

Hi

I tried contacting Laura, as recommended, but her reply requested that I just post the request in the usual way - so I have done so again in hope that she picks it up.  Apologies for the duplication and fingers crossed for a response from her soon.

Kim :)

The Eliza Walker born Manton moved with her family to Draycott, Derbyshire so I doubt very much it would be her.

Elizabeth b.1884 Oakham, dau. of Owen, would appear to be her (her eldest brother was indeed born Manton).

The only way to know for certain is to get her marriage certificate.   No-one can just simply find the marriage without knowing exactly where it took place and Oakham regn. district covered numerous parishes.
