Title: Nottingham Record Office Look-up - Basford St Leods Marriage

Would be most grateful for a transcript of the marriage of Frank HARRIS to Fanny BOSTOCK which took place between 25th & 31st December 1870 at Basford (Notts) St Leodegarius, Keith

Thanks for the exact date, Rosie.  Unfortunately, however, FreeReg does not state the fathers' names and occupations etc.  With a surname as frequent as Harris, which is the one of interest to me, such things are crucial, alas.  So if someone who visits the Nottingham Record Office could spare a few minutes to extract the details of this identified marriage, I would be grateful, Keith.

You would be better to get this request moved to the Nottingham Board.   There is a lady who visits the Notts RO weekly who may do a look up for you.

Carol, many thanks for this advice.  I wanted to post the message on the Nottingham Board in the first place, but could not find how to navigate there.  I was and still am baffled by the whole layout of Rootschat which seems to contain oceans of advice on copyright, courtesy, how to word a message etc, but does not actually tell me how to get to a specific county !  If you could please tell me what to do I would be very grateful.  Keith (wfhc)

Hi, click on "Forum" at the top of the home page, scroll down to "England General" click on "Nottinghamshire"  ;D.
Regards, Frank.
Ps, you'll soon get used to it.

Thanks, Frank, for the navigational help.  I have now re-posted this on the Nottingham Board, as Carol kindly suggested.  My trouble is that I don't log in often enough to remember what to do.
