Problem tracking down marriage and death certificate
« on: Saturday 09 April 22 10:43 BST (UK) »
Hi

I hope someone can help.  I am trying to find a Marriage Certificate for a Robert Cunningham Cook Galloway married to Mary Hoggard in 1882 Gateshead - as stated on the FreeBMD site, but I can't find them on the Gateshead Registry Office site or the Durham Registry Office site.

I am also trying to find Mary Galloway's Death Certificate - died 1898 Gateshead - as stated on the FreeBMD site but again, the same problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks Mo

Did you know that a birth or death cert can be ordered from the site above as a PDF sent to your computer for just £7,rather than the usual £11.

The option is NOT available for marriage certs though and they have to be ordered the old way via snail mail for £11.

I think you’ll find that the Gateshead site doesn’t yet have complete coverage so that might be the reason you can’t find them there.

You won’t find them on the Durham Registrars site because Gateshead is outside their area.

http://www.marriage-locator.co.uk

Marriage may possibly have been at St Edmund, Gateshead according to 'Marriage Locator' - Sep quarter 1882 Vol 10a page 1003

Freebmd shows marriage under name Hoggart rather than Hoggard.

Conroy, Fitzpatrick, Watson, Miller, Davis/Davies, Brown, Senior, Dodds, Grieveson, Gamesby, Simpson, Rose, Gilboy, Malloy, Dalton, Young, Saint, Anderson, Allen, McKetterick, McCabe, Drummond, Parkinson, Armstrong, McCarroll, Innes, Marshall, Atkinson, Glendinning, Fenwick, Bonner

Yu may not be aware that Gateshead Registration District covers other towns in the area.  From the FreeBMD entry click on Gateshead and you go to page "District Information" and you can then, by clicking "here" see the locations and timescales covered by the District.   :)
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
