Marriage Mary James on and Edward ? Hesket in the Forest 7 February 1753
« on: Wednesday 28 June 23 08:28 BST (UK) »
I wondered if anyone has access to or can point me in the direction of the image rather than the transcript of this marriage.

The transcription gives one surname for Edward but many trees give another, so I’d like to be sure what it actually says.  ???

It looks like Family Search, Ancestry & FindMyPast only have the transcriptions you mention but they all seem to agree.

Maybe the reason the transcripts match is that they were originally transcribed by the LDS and just passed over to Ancestry & FindMyPast  :-\.  If only all counties were well covered with original registers available online.

Actually, Ancestry has both HARSLY and CLESBY as transcriptions for Edward's family name. (Mary JAMESON and Edward HARSLY, and also Mary JAMSON and Edward CLESBY - both 7 Feb 1753, Hesket in the Forest.)

Thanks Maddy

I spotted that last night just as I was about to go to bed.

You do wonder how the two names could get muddled.

It must be very difficult handwriting.

I see on the Genuki site for Hesket in the Forest:
"The original records and bishops transcripts are held in Carlisle RO, but readers can only access registers on microfilm."
https://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/CUL/HesketintheForest

If you're not in the area, perhaps post a request for a very generous person who may be able to help.

I've had a look at the orginal on microfiche and and to me it reads clearly as Cleasby.  I have taken photo of the entry so you can see what you think but not able to post it on this page, (no attachment button)

Added:  It looks like Mary's surname was Jameson

That was very kind of you Gan Yam, the generosity of RootsChatters is truly wonderful.  :D

(It's a shame you can't include attachments on "look up" boards.)
