Yes

They were all miners

That is one of the reasons they came to Scotland was because of the pits

Isobel

Hi Isobel,

Still can't find either of them in earlier years but will keep looking.

Was William's father a miner also?

Isobel

P.S I have just realised this is the correct marriage if the witnesses are connected. I think I need a brain transplant!!!

I haven't been able to pin either of them down before marriage.

Can you post all the details from the marriage cert.

Williams age and father's name and the witnesses as they may help.

I also think it must be the correct marriage cert.

If her death had been registered in England they don't give parents names so you probably wouldn't have thought you had the wrong marriage.

Margaret

On the marriage certificate for Hannah Anderson it states that her fathers name was William Anderson and she 22 and living at Church St

Yes William Rodgers was a Coal Miner

Isobel

All the children were born in England, no area given.

William is a coal miner. Does that occupation tie in with the marriage cert?

Robert Hannah is a boarder, no relation.

I have been trying to find them on the census.

What are their children's names, birth years and places?

It seems highly unlikely that there would be 2 marriages with the same names in the same area so close together.

Christine/mgnv

I ordered the one in Septemeber but it was wrong

With regards not knowing the morthers maiden name it was Hannah's husband the son in law who was giving details of his wifes parents and both were deceased


Isobel

I`ve got to wonder how accurate the informant`s info is on the d.rego if they didn`t know her mum`s MS. What relationship was the informant?

Is this the cert you ordered?

The marriage was in the 3rd qtr so not Dec.

Christine

Cannot find them on the census

Hannah Anderson married William Rodgers in 1878 Gateshead, Hannah died in Scotland 1905 aged 44


Hannahs parents were John Anderson Coal Miner
Ann surname unknown

Have you found her on the census with her parents?

What was her name and her husbands?

Christine

Scottish death certificates show names of parents and who she was married to. On death certificate is sttes parents as John and Ann Anderson, but on the marriage certificate I received from Gateshead it says fathers name as William Anderson

The certificate is not the correct one.
Father of bride is not the same as one on her death certificate so, there must have been 2 mariages for the same names.

I have wasted £7 on the wrong marriage, but never mind I will just need to locate the correct one

Thanks for your help, My computer has been playing up the last 10 days, I contact Gateshead direct and paid £7 I just got certificate in this morning.

Thanks for the replies
