I wonder if I could ask for a fresh pair of eyes in looking for the marriage of my great great grandparents, George Henry BALL and Mary HARRISON (formerly FRAIN). For both it was their second marriage.
I know they were married before1901 from the census return. Mary was Scottish and had married a soldier/journeyman joiner called Henry Harrison in 1889. They moved to Barnsley between 1891 and 1893 but I believe that she was widowed in 1896. Mary's maiden name was FRAIN.
George and Mary's first child (Constance Mary Ball) was born in 1900 so I presume that they must have been married at some point between Henry's death in 1896 and 1900. It probably took place in Barnsley or the neighbouring registration district of Wortley. However, despite searching through the BMD registers for these years I have had no joy.
Would it be possible to ask for someone else to take a second look?

Thanks!
I can't believe I missed it given that I only had four years to search........I was starting to think they never got married at all!
