Title: Look Up Request
Post by: cardinal1977 on Tuesday 10 August 10 00:01 BST (UK)

I'm trying to find a marriage record for my gt gt grandparents.

They are John Kennedy b1831 and Betsy Cranmer b1833

I know they had moved South of the border by 1855 as that is when their first child was born in Lancashire. English Census returns record both their place of birth as Scotland (possibly perthshire). They don't apear to be on the 1851 english census.

Can anybody help?

I don't have a marriage record for Betsy Cranmer and her spouse, but I do have info. about Betsy's line of Cranmers in one of my family trees.   I am researching the Cranmer family in Perthshire, through Robert and Margaret Cranmer's daughter Ellen Cranmer, who was my husband's great grandmother.  Robert Cranmer's parents were Aaron Cranmer and Helen/Ellen Thompson and they married in Carnmoney, Antrim, Ireland in 1813.  The family moved around regularly between Antrim, the north of England and Perthshire.  There is a Betsy Cranmer in that tree.  Ill dig out what info. I have and get back to you.
