Hello
In the marriages on freebmd, how can you find out which named individual married one of the number of people mentioned as possible spouses.  I've tried narrowing them down through census and death records, but can't find possible matches.

FreeBMD simply shows the names mentioned on each page;either 4 names or 6.

It requires detective work to work out who marries who!

Are there any suitable births? Check for Mother's Maiden Name on GRO Search.
Do any of the brides have unusual forenames? Try looking for them on the next census.

Either of these tricks may help you eliminate (or confirm) a bride.

Maybe tell us who you are looking at.  I would normally do as you have done and try to track them or the others mentioned later on census or birth registration indexes for any possible children.

If you have access to FS, Ancestry or FindMyPast then you may be able to sort them out by searching for one of the names and hopefully find the church marriage.  However, if the page number is high then that might signify a Register Office marriage 

Maybe we can help with your particular search

Thanks folk. I have tried FS, FindMyPast etc. Thought every way outside the box, but no luck.
I'm trying to find a Julia Palmer. She was a widow born 1801/2, last living in Liverpool in 1837. She had links with London so thought she might have gone back there and remarried. Possibly 1839 St George, Southwark.
Also a Jennet Palmer. Also a widow born 1795/99, last living in Liverpool 1851. She also had links with London so thought she might have gone back there and remarried. Possibly 1851 St George, Southwark.
