Looking to find Nathaniel Leslie,possibly born Peterhead,Aberdeen,c.1832.
He married Ann Wright,born c.1832,Hartlepool.Only marriage I can find for these
names is in1872,Kensington.Nathaniel was possibly a Master Mariner.I can't find a record of them together, possibly because of his job?I do have Ann in Census's from 1881 to 1911,but virtually nothing on Nathaniel except an 1841 Census
record aged 10 at Peterhead.

All help greatly appreciated,Terry L.

The marriage cert would tell you his age, occupation and father's details

There are also a number of other Leslie births in Peterhead, all with father John.
Some will be siblings of Nathaniel, and some will be siblings of his father.

Thank you all so very much.I said possibly Master Mariner because I found Ann as being wife of Mariner.

Once again I thank you all very much.Terry L.

Hi.Just looking to try and digest all the information supplied.Surely the marriage given in 1872 can't be the correct one.It says they are both 21.If both Nathaniel and Ann were born c.1832 then that doesn't add up??.Or am I misreading this?.

Any thoughts,please. Terry L.

Not mis-reading - just not reading all of the post
