ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Richard Report 26 May 2018 17:02

George Brigstock married Mary Ann Lee Leicester 1850.

Could someone please look up the details of the marriage? I am principally interested in the name of Mary Ann Lee's father.

Her sister Sarah Lee married Joseph Miller in Leicester in 1843.

Thanks in advance

Richard .....

unless the Parish Register for the church has been digitised, then I am afraid that you have to buy the certificate.

You can get a pdf sent to your email address from GRO for £6 instead of the £9.25 charged for a copy of the marriage certificate sent by regular post.

The pdf is good enough for most family researchers, but it is not good enough for legal purposes.

From the image - George was a Labourer as were both Fathers

Both signed the Register. Married by Banns
Witnesses - Rebekah Hubbard and ..... Lee

Sylvia - I think it's only Births and deaths that are available for the knock down £6 on the GRO site. Marriages weren't transcribed, funding ran out before they were done.
