Hi Potty,

Yes I have the Marriage from the Parish Register which confirmed the father was John, it is just not showing up in the GRO.

Kind regards
Amanda

If you have the original church marriage record, it should show the fathers' names and occupations. Have you actually seen the image or is it just a transcription? Any info that is not on the image of the church record is unlikely to be on a Registrar's copy of the marriage.

Thank you for the reply,

We had a Birth Cert to confirm the mothers Maiden Name.

The couple came up on the LDS website with a date in May 1840 but it didn't say what type of record it was so I went along to Kew last weekend and discovered it was the Banns and got a copy of it.
The LDS didn't have the Marriages filmed.

Yesterday I found the actual Marriage on Seax.

I have often heard of entries being missing from the GRO but it is the first time I have actually come across one.

Kind regards
Amanda

You say you have the Marraige cert from Seax - is it the cert or copy of the Banns. IF just the banns they may not have married then

I would suggest that they may not have married until some years later.

When ordering a Birth Certificate I would order not the eldest childs one but one of the later ones, when you can be more certain that they had eventually married.

Thank you Chris, that is her I just wanted to see the Marriage to confirm her father's details.

Thank you Rose, that's a good idea, I think I will also send an e mail to the Essex Records Office and ask if they keep a list of known missing entries.

Kind regards

Try contacting Uttlesford Registration Office to see if they have it. Could be it just never made it to the GRO.

I suppose this entry might be relevant if there was a major transcribing error between the kocal registrar and the GRO.

I concur with Reggie - have checked Ancestry, FreeBMD and FindMyPast - no marriage record in the index.

Definitely not on freebmd..........unless my eyes really deceive me.

Amanda,

Amanda, Report 17 Aug 2013 22:46

Thank you, yes I can do that.

William Savill married Julia Moss 1st June 1840 in Wimbish, Essex.
Witnesses were James Taylor and Elizabeth Savill
They were the next Marriage in the Parish Register in July so possibly his sister.

Kind regards

Thank you very much for the replies.

I am helping a friend to help a lady in Aus and we got stuck!

I have the Marriage cert from Seax in Wimbish 1840.

Would be very happy if anyone wants to check that I have not got this wrong.

I have the image that I could send by PM if anyone wants to have a look.

Kind regards

For £5 you can have online access to the Essex Parish Records on SEAX for 24 Hours.

The information for marriages is the same as that on the central part of GRO certificates.

It should show as Saffron Walden

Have you just checked using christian names in case of a slight difference in spelling
