Help to find a missing marriage
« on: Sunday 28 April 24 23:32 BST (UK) »
I have a Peter S Heath who I believe married a Martha Stonyer (or possibly Stonier or Stanier) at some point between 1841 and 1844. I have an unmarried Martha on an 1841 Census at Burton Extra, Staffordshire, England HO107 Piece 975 Book 10 Folio 5 Pages 22 - 23, with her father and mother. Peter and Martha had two children born in the UK, John Thomas Heath, born 1844, birth registered in Burton upon Trent and Peter Heath, born 1846, birth registered in Burton upon Trent. The family then migrated to the USA and next appear on the US 1850 census.

I can't find a record of a marriage, which I assume happened sometime between 1841 and 1844, on any of the usual places. Help, please.

It doesn't look like they actually married.

Why do you name him 'Peter S.'?  Wasn't that his son, the 'S' probably standing for the mother's surname?

There are also Banns for this couple in 1841 - St Peter, Derby - image on Ancestry.

Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.

Variou USA records have both Peter S and just Peter.
In the 1860 USA census Peter snr 40 is a miller. Martha is 37.
In the same schedule entry there are John Stanger  / corrected to Stonyer  57 miller and  Betsy Stanger 52 both born England.

In 1880 USA Elizabeth Stonyer 75 is mother in law to Peter Heath.
