Title: Bristol marriage look up
Post by: tamor on Friday 29 September 06 13:35 BST (UK)
Hi,
if anyone is visiting Bristol Records Office in the near future, or has marriage indexes for Bristol, I would really appreciate a check on the following marriage:

1862. Jul-Aug-Sep Quarter.  David Morgan. Bristol

I'm looking for his wifes name.
 
Thanks,
Toni

Toni.. hi..     Did you ever find out the brides name?.. i know it was one of two.. either..
Amelia Ann Tarr.. or... Jane Forsey.. its easily determined by looking at the 1871 census.. i assume they remained in bristol?
     if so this could be them..
David Morgan .. b abt 1826.. bristol
Jane ... (wife).. b abt 1838.. bicknell.. somerset..

Ada.. says b abt 1860.. but often ages were out by abt 10 years.. b abt 1860 bristol

Florence .. b abt 1864.. bristol

Alice.. b abt 1870.. bristol..

Hope this has helped..

Why not buy the marriage cert?   The ONS reference Vol. and Page is on freebmd.

Just suppose somebody being a bit mischievous was to tell you a porkie . . . .

Isn't it always best to have documentary evidence rather than rely on others?   Besides which of course m-certs can tell more.

Thank you both for your comments. When I first posted this, FreeBMD didn't have the spouses name available for David Morgan, which is why I requested a look up before I ordered the cert. I have now got this.
Thanks again.
