I have entered the details of my rellie on freebmd to find her marriage, she is listed but the husband could be one of four men, can I whittle this down or will I have to send for each marriage cert. until I get the right one.

The marriage was 1840 so thought I'd try to trace through 1841 census but they don't appear to be there.

Thanks.

Could you post her name and marriage details so we can look?

We might be able to 'marry off' the other couples.

- and another option is familysearch which may have the parish registry entry for some of the four marriages

Here we go:
Mary Clementina Kernick married 4th qtr. 1845 Dist. Newington Vol 4 Page 402. Possible men are: Ebenezer Comfort, John Arthur Copsey or George Walton.
&
Ann Tryphena Kernick married 3rd qtr. 1840 Dist. Newington Vol. 4 Page 329. Possible men are : Abraham Benneworth, Henry Curnow, Joseph Phair or Henry White.

1851 census is probably a better place to look.........you get a more accurate idea of ages.....plus the birthplaces are recorded.


Do you have access to 1851?

Reg

Thanks Reg, yes I do have access but I need to find their married names first.

To order a marriage cert, you only need to enter the name of one person.............

Reg

You can search using first name, plus year and place of birth............then scroll through the results checking each possible surname

Seems I may have to do that Reg. I'm just being impatient, wanted to play this weekend not wait a week.

Looking at the list for Mary Clementina, I looked in 1851 and it seems likely that she married George WARREN.

Have managed to eliminate Abraham Benneworth as a possible.

Thank you Kate, How did you manage that? (For future reference)

Gwyn, I'm not too sure that's the right one, I have Mary Clementina as DOB 03.05.1817 and the possible husbands as Ebenezer Comfort, John Arthur Copsey or George Walton, I got that info. from freebmd and LDS

was it an extracted or submitted record on LDS?

sylvia

Thank you Ivy and Sylvia. When I took the details down I must have left Warren off and took Walton as the surname.

but of course


you need that bloomin' marriage certificate to be sure that you have the right couple



we're only digging in jelly and searching through fog, and making assumptions for you!


have you ordered the certificate?????




sylvia

sorry


an Extracted record on LDS has been taken (extracted) from the actual record.


A submitted record has been submitted by a member of the Mormon Church ...... and can be very very wrong!

I believe the Mormons have to list at least 4 generations of their family in their ancestral record.


If they don't know, they make assumptions, or even make up the information.


So ... submitted records cannot be trusted.

It says at the bottom of the record which it is.
