Cheers guys - again, FreeBMD is another one I have checked .... no show!

We can trace J P Ablett to Cambridge University and the University of London in relation to Mathematics ... but no marriage!! Typical lol x

Hi Chris

I am looking on FMP at the moment - although I've only got a freebie subscription.

The marriage is for Joseph Pedley Ablett b.1846 in St Ives, Huntingdon - I have census docs throughout his life. He appears in the 1881 as unmarried living with his housekeeper in Brixton, then in 1891 as married with 2 children in Greenwick and then (after the death of one of his sons) in 1901 as widowed in Battersea.

I have many family members who where Methodists in 19th century. They do not seem to show on parish records (not C of E) or IGI. They will however be in the GRO records and should be on Free BMD.

Have you tried FMP.

If you put some details up perhaps someone may be able to find the marriage for you.

Hi guys

I am struggling to find a marriage which we assume would have taken place approx 1880. My family were strict Wesleyan Methodists (although I admit I know very little of their faith/religion).

Would their marriages be recorded on GR? Or somewhere else?

I have tried IGI with no success.

Thanks in advance, H x
