Title: Newbie needing help
Post by: tuppenyone on Wednesday 29 December 10 10:58 GMT (UK)

 ;D

Hi, I'm a bit of a newbie at looking up BDMs.  I have found the record for the marriage of Jane Newbery Bullivant in Liverpool (St Nicholas, I believe, though I can't be sure) in the Oct-Nov-Dec quarter of 1855, but how do I know who she married.  The page in question has two women's names and two men's:

Jane Newbery Bullivant
Emily Fisher
John Louis
Edward Willaims

Thanks very much.

Hi tuppenyone

If you look on the Lancashire BMD site http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/, you will find that Jane married John Louis at the Church of Our Lady and St Nicholas and St Anne, Liverpool.  Sounds like a Catholic church.

It's a very useful site for BMD, but only gives the year rather than the quarter.

Also,  that middle name of Newbery   may give you a clue to going back a generation.

Many children were given the maiden name of their mother or grand mother as a middle name.

Thank you so much.

Yes, her grandmother was a Newbery and this middle name was carried on for a number of generations.
