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

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

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

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

Linda Report 8 Feb 2008 22:20

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

ErikaH

ErikaH Report 8 Feb 2008 22:18

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?

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

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

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

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.
