St Helena Marriage
« on: Monday 04 September 23 13:52 BST (UK) »
Does anyone know how I go about tracing a marriage in St Helena.
Mitchel Reid (Royal Engineers ) married Mary Keily on St Helena on 3rd June 1866.
I got This information from the birth of 2 of their children who were registered at at Garrioch Barracks Maryhill.
I have looked on the NA site and FindMyPast and found  no details any advice on where to try next will be appreciated.

Regards

Just adding to Shaun's post these indexes are on FindMyPast.  It always takes me ages to locate the data set when I need them so I would normally google overseas marriages FindMyPast  :)

The record set on FindMyPast is "British Armed Forces and Overseas Banns and Marriages".  I usually go to "All record sets" and type "armed" in the search box.

I couldn't find it earlier but I see it now. 12+ pages. Wife's maiden name recorded as Keilie.
