1903 marriage lookup request - Synagogue - COMPLETED

[CaroleW]

Hi

I am helping a friend with her Jewish ancestry and have hit a slight problem which needs sight of her grandparents marriage cert.

If anybody is going to the RO and has some time to spare - would it be possible to lookup the following marriage?   Although Lancashire BMD shows it as a Registrar attended - the couple were Jewish and married in the Synagogue

The registration district was Chorlton and Lancs BMD shows it as Chorlton on Medlock so I am assuming it was the Chorlton on Medlock Synagogue.  Lancs BMD ref is  CHO_RM/160/97

June qtr 1903 - Abraham Estry to Nancy Brunswick

I have all of Abraham's ancestry but I am hoping that Nancy's father was Peter - occ glazier.

There is no birth reg or 1891/1901 entry for a Nancy Brunswick b 1881 - 1884 but I have found a Nancy Brownsweig/Braunschweig and wonder if the surname was "Anglicised" to Brunswick. 

Parents surname in 1911 is Brownsweig and married for 24yrs - 1886/7.  The 1891 shows children born before that date so it looks like Peter was previously married.  Peter Braunsweig married Annie Bernard at Manchester Synagogue in 1886

According to jewishgen Chorlton on Medlock Synagogue was opened in 1911 and closed in the 1920s. Maybe the marriage was somewhere else?

Hi Gibel and thanks for the info.  Certainly doesn't look as though they married at that one then

She may have to buy a copy of the cert to solve this one

Hi

Special thanks to Beannie who has looked this marriage up for me and confirmed I have the right family.  Nancy's father was indeed Peter - occ glazier

The marriage was at Oldham Registry Office

[Gibel]

How did someone manage to look up a Registry Office wedding?  I have always understood that this is something you cannot do and have to buy the certificate. Please let us into the secret as I'm sure we'd all like to know.

Hi Gibel

I honestly don't know - I thought the same as you that they could only be looked up if the church was known

I am just very grateful for the info found but will send a pm to Beannie asking him to get in touch with you

Hello Carole, I know this is a very old post but Nancy Brunswick was my great grand aunt, not sure how to send a pm in this forum but it would be nice to chat...
