Witness Christian name on Marriage certificate help please COMPLETED
« on: Monday 06 January 14 13:40 GMT (UK) »
Any ideas on what the Christian name is of the Lady on attached.
Wedding Witness  -  Surname looks like GARDNER.   Says X  Her Mark.

Wedding was 1824 in St Leonard's Shoreditch.  The other witness James B HILL is witness on several Marriages.

Thank you

Robina? If she made her mark her name would have been written by the clerk [so you can compare that person's writing for other names in the same register]. The first letter of this forename is the same as the minister in the same entry which looks like Robert Crosby curate.

Hi Josey

Why did I not notice that!
 :)
Thank you very much! 

I will see what I can find for a Robina Gardner.

Gardner could of course be her married name; may be bride's sister? I'd look for baptisms of a Robina around 1800.

ADDED: There do seem to be quite a few on familysearch.org born in Middlesex 1795 - 1805. What were Mary Ann's parents' names?

Hello

I have just found a Marriage for a Robina Gardiner to a Alexander William Gray
in Shoreditch 1833.

I thought it looked like Rebecca before but had no luck tracing her.  So thought I would try on here.

so looks like the right person

Thank you all for your help / suggestions.

Do you mean 1933?  In view of the fact the marriage she was witnessing was 91 years after 1833 . .. . !
