Marriage Christopher/Alexander Parkinson

[davemchol]

Its Alexander/Christophers son Alexander he married a Martha Fichett in Liverpool 1834 I think. Trying to retrace his family backwards from there. Hence looking for his fathers wedding date etc. He was born the son this is between 1821/1824 in Scotland

Not a problem. Just wish people in those days could take things down correctly. I really appreciate your help.

[davemchol]

do you think the marriage on page 1 could be correct?

[davemchol]

Also Alexanders father the one born in Barnoldswick would it be possible to find his birth at all?

[MonicaL]

The birth entry for Barnoldswick for Alexander, nothing showing on IGI. Nor can I see a death on Scotlands People for an Alexander or Christopher Parkinson post 1855. There are marriages potentially for some of the children we are seeing:

Stirling Parkinson 26, plumber
Janet Parkinson 22
Christopher Parkinson 22 Days

Address: 15 Catherine St, Edinburgh

A Stirling Parkinson married a Janet Young on 21 Sept. 1860 in Edinburgh. Might be worth you looking at the marriage entry to confirm his parents' details. Scottish marriage certs (like death certs) include full details on both father and mother's names. Would let you confirm whether that marriage cert we found for a Christopher to a Jane Steven is the right one - even though we have the difference between Alexander and Christopher for father's name.

Added: Stirling Parkinson died the year his son Christopher was born - 1861 in Edinburgh.

hmm seemes to be a mystery

[davemchol]

will have to check the marriage when i get paid money is tight at the moment . Thnks for your help

[davemchol]

Has anyone got any parish records for Caithness.? Would like to search for Mary Ann bithe 1815/16. The Christopher Oddie marriage is the correct one . Thank for all your help.

How would i find info for Christopher Oddie Prkinson according to censuses he was born in 1791 in Barnoldswick.
