The information on the marriage certificate is useful for anyone on this forum in assisting you with your research.

A marriage certificate is the one document where the bride and groom are the authors of information recorded about themselves.

It is useful to note which parties are literate.

If you have an image of the marriage certificate, with other marriages on the same page, see what names appear for those witnesses.

Witnesses might be related to the bride or groom. If their names appear more often for marriages you might suspect that they are connected with the church and just available as witnesses at the time.

What church did they marry in?

What ages for Joseph and Sarah

         Thank you very much for your sound advice.

     I have a copy of the marriage certificate given at the GRO.

     Joseph Harrison was about 22-23 years old , said to be a husbandman, from Flimby Hall ,son of
       a William Harrison also a husbandman, and could write his name.
       
        Sarah Tindal was 17 years old from Cockermouth and signed with an X. daughter of John
         Tindal, carrier.

         The Witnesses were John Tindal, Sarah's brother. he could write his name.
           and Eliza Denwood she signed with a X

         The marriage took place at Cockermouth in the parish Of Brigham on the 28th of March 1863

            Is it possible to be a husbandman at 20-21 years old ?
         
         
                             
                       Regards

               Hi everyone
   
         At the marriage of Joseph Harrison - Sarah Tindal 
       
         Joseph Harrison was living at that time In Flimby Hall.
       
         Is Flimby Hall far from Brigham ? where the marriage took place.

                              Thank you.

      Hi to the RootsChat member who is reading this post.

   I've found a Joseph Harrison in the 1861 census living in the household

    of Matthew Douglas a farmer in High House Distington Whitehaven District  Cumberland .

     Joseph as a farm servant, 20 years old ,unmarried. and born in Brigham.

       I am wondering if this Joseph Harrison is my Joseph Harrison ?

Jumping in here

Joseph  probably said his father was William harrison because illigitimacy was frowned upon

But if he did know his birth father he might have been William + might have been a husbandman too ...but different surname

If his siblings married it would be interesting to see who they named as their  father

# .but agree that the others on 1851 are more likely to be uncles
Joseph is listed under 35 year old laundress Mary so could easily be her son and grandson of Margaret
