Alderney Marriage - TURNER/SLEE
« on: Friday 03 November 23 21:49 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

I am looking for confirmation and potentially more information on a marriage between a Thomas Turner and Caroline Slee.

I've managed to find one of their children's birth records in Novia Scotia which very helpfully noted their parents' marriage date and place: July 22nd 1864, Alderney, England, L.J. (not sure what the initials are in reference to)

So essentially, I am hoping there is a record to confirm this and if said record holds any more information about them?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for reading.

Thomas Turner must have died after the census as Caroline Turner age 38 married Isaac Cloughley age 39 registered Horfield Gloucestershire 1882.

Her father Joseph Slee
His father James Cloughley

Image on ancestry. 4 June 1882 by license   -There is a note in the margin 4 July 1882 so June a possible error.
Isaac Cloughley a pensioner (probably army) his father a farmer
Caroline Turner - Widow - father Joseph Slee - Mason

Witness William Williams  and Elizabeth Hart made her mark

From the baptism of Bertie 25 Feb. 1880 (born 19 December 1879) and Thomasin Daisy 12 June 1881 (born 11 March 1881) both at Horfield Holy Trinity  father Thomas is a Private with 61st.

Baptism conducted by Fanshaur? Bingham acting Chaplin for the troops

Perhaps a record of the 61st regiment would locate the marriage register.

Thanks for responding. I'll look further into the Army Chapel idea.
