Missing Marriage

[PaulJC]

Hi All,

I am trying to find the record of my G Grandfathers marriage.
William Carter was born in Manchester in 1857 and married Elizabeth Mullen (or Mullin) who was also born in Manchester in 1876. Their first child was born in 1876 with another in 1878.

The only record I have found was a William Thomas Carter marrying an Elizabeth Ann Mullin in 1872 in St Columb which is in Cornwall. Not only would he have been only 15 but both familes were  Manchester born and bred and I doubt they even knew Cornwall existed!

To eliminate
The Elizabeth Ann Mullis who married at St Columb 5 October 1872 was a widow.  Transcript names her father as Charles Carter.  That William Carter was a mariner, his father was not named

William Carter was born in Manchester in 1857 and married Elizabeth Mullen (or Mullin) who was also born in Manchester in 1876. Their first child was born in 1876 with another in 1878.

Some birth registrations for the children and census references would help us identify them.  I don't think Elizabeth was born in 1876.

Did William & Elizabeth survive to the 1911 census to say how long they had been married?

ADDED: I  found these three:
CARTER, SARAH  ANN     MULLIN 
GRO Reference: 1877  M Quarter in CHORLTON  Volume 08C  Page 723
CARTER, JANE       MULLEN 
GRO Reference: 1878  M Quarter in CHORLTON  Volume 08C  Page 712
CARTER, MARY  ELIZABETH     MULLEN 
GRO Reference: 1879  J Quarter in CHORLTON  Volume 08C  Page 754

which leads to 1881

Thanks All,

Debra, as you probably guessed it was a typo and Elizabeth Mullen was born in 1856
Josey, William died in 1897 but Elizabeth was after 1925
Rosie, thanks for details of the Cornwall wedding.

Josey,

Thanks for the possibles. They are all after the birth of his first child but we know that's not unheard of. Elizabeth is the only name I have so perhaps it was to Mary Elizabeth in 1879 but thats after the first two children.....
