Marriage in 1875 at Bishopwearmouth St Thomas - Emma COUSINS / Frederick STRONG

[LouisR]

Hi, I Am looking for some additional information on a marriage on 30th August 1875. The Durham record office reference is M42/241 EP/si.STh 1/6 Records Apr 1872 to May 1882. I am after the Bride's father's name and any witnesses. Thank you.

Given the date, that sort of detail is unlikely to be online. If no one else is can access the parish records for you, your options are:

Visit the DRO and view and print the record from microfilm for approx £0.50
 
Durham Records Office do a quick search (apply online)  and supply of a scan of the relevant record for £5. (its a very quick and reliable service in my experience, though there is a cost)

The GRO can provide an official marriage certificate for £9.25

Thank you. I am not local so cannot visit the DRO. I believe Emma's father is John Cousins, but don't want to assume it, in case this is not the correct  marriage. Emma was born in 1855. My interest is in her mother, Mary Ann Cousins, nee Norton, nee Larney and the Norton family. I don't know how Emma ended up in Durham as her family were from Hackney, London.

There is no Norton/Larney marriage showing nor is there a Norton/Cousins marriage

There is a baptism for a Mary Ann Larney in Hackney St John on 25.5.1817 - Parents Thomas & Isabella

Thank you Carole. Mary Ann Larney married Thomas Norton in Hackney in 1842 and they had 7 children, 4 before they were married. Thomas died in 1847 and Mary Ann married John Cousins in 1851 (married as Mary Ann Kemble) for reasons as yet unknown, and had 2 children, Henry and Emma. I haven't yet found Henry Cousins, born 1852 after the 1871 Census.

According to FreeBMD Thomas Norton married a Mary Ann Larley in 1842 and the Mary Ann Kemble marriage in 1851 was to a John Cozens

Thank you. Yes, I believe this is the same Mary Ann as Thomas Norton died in 1847. The name changes from Dozens to Cousins various times.
