Title: St Peter Sheffield - Beaumont/Langton
Post by: YorkieSue on Tuesday 21 November 06 10:23 GMT (UK)

Could someone please check the marriage entry for James Beaumont and Ann Langton married 1st October 1815 at St Peter's Cathedral.  Does the record show his occupation (hopefully corn miller), and the names of fathers of bride and groom.  I have found too many James and Anns, and am trying to confirm or eliminate this one.

Thanks, Sue.

marriage entries prior to 1.7.1837 did not include the fathers names

Hi Carole,
Thanks for the reply.  I know that is the general rule, but I've found that it could depend on the individual vicar.

For instance Skipton and Batley often gave not only the groom's father and his occupation, but the bride's too.  I can't get to Sheffield to check how diligent their vicars were.

Cheers, Sue.
