Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all the information - WOW, it is fantastic, you've given me so many avenues to look into, all while I was happily playing website website yesterday  ;D

@Nowel, thanks so much for the military information, I will look into all of it during this week :)

@Hallmark, thanks for the parish info, most appreciated, if she is originating anywhere from Waterford I will definitely have a use for it.

@Maiden Stone, thanks for the suggestions, I see many hours of happily shaking the family tree this week, amazing what has fallen out just in the last 10 days! :D

I'm definitely going to get the marriage cert, they have really come through for me before when I have hit complete dead ends or puzzles, will get onto ordering it this evening from home :)

Thanks again everyone, I really appreciate the advice, links, etc.

Regards,

Patricia

When you've identified the church from the marriage certificate you may like to pursue the parish register. A few priests recorded mothers of bride and groom.

There's a Catholic family history society.
The Catholic Record Society published transcriptions of some old registers a century ago but very few included post-1850 entries.

Look at list of resources on Yorkshire sub-board.
 There are several FH societies in Yorkshire. There's an umbrella site for them with map. Internet search for Yorkshire family history societies should find it.
