Title: Marriage lookup Oakham
Post by: oddyca on Friday 15 May 09 21:39 BST (UK)

Does anyone have access to marriage records for Oakham?  I am looking for a marriage for William Turner and Rhoda Humphrey (1869 I think).  I am particularly interested in the names of both fathers.  Thanks in advance for any help.

Greeting’s……

Whilst you await the Marriage Certificate……….

Using the Census returns either side of the Marriage

I believe Fathers are :~

Rhoda. ~ William D. Humfrey. Occupation ~ Farmer.
Mother:~  Elizabeth

William. ~ John Turner Occupation ~ Farmer.
Mother :~ Mary

But I'm not 100% sure for William his Occupation changes each Census 
Also Place of Birth changes Before Marriage :~ Empingham.
After Marriage :~ Normanton ( which is 1.6 Miles from Empingham)

Thank you both - Mike, these are the same parents I am working on, but like you my slight concerns arose from the fact that place of birth changes.  William and Rhoda I am sure on, as Rhoda appears through descendants as a family name.
