Title: Holy Trinity Gosport Lookup please
Post by: roy lees on Thursday 31 March 11 10:21 BST (UK)

Hi,

      I have an old copy of a marriage certificate from 1811, but unfortunately one corner is missing . It is the marriage of Hugh Mccoy to Sarah Yaldon on 15th October 1811 at Holy Trinty Gosport.  The missing corner contains the name of a ship, which I would like to know.
    It states No 76, Hugh Mccoy of HMS ..................
    singleman & Sarah Yaldon of thi........................

   Can anyone fill in the missing words , before I order the film from the Latter-day Saints

      Thanks in advance

         Roy

Hi Roy

I am new to this sight and have been searching for more information on my GGG grandfather Hugh McCoy who married Sarah. I wondered if you had ever got any further with your hunt for the missing part of the marriage certificate? Is this a relative of yours too?
 Would love to hear back from you.

Best wishes

Sarah

Welcome to RootsChat.  :)

Unfortunately Roy has not logged in to RootsChat for a few years.

But, good news, I can tell you that Hugh's ship was HMS Porcupine.
