Title: John Berridge/Catherine Smith marriage Leicester 1863
Post by: Vicki Morley on Saturday 14 September 13 20:29 BST (UK)
Could someone do a parish record lookup for this marriage please.
Date of Registration Jul/Aug/Sep 1863
Reg District Leicester
County Leicestershire
Vol no 7a  Page 341

Im particularly interested in John's parents' names.  I believe John was born in 1842 in Syston but Im getting really confused as to who his parents were.  On Ancestry Ive found a couple of John Berridges.  The one married to Catherine is the one I want, but I dont know who his parents were.

I would look it up at the LRO but I cant get there for over a week.

Greeting’s Vicky. …..

BAD NEWS ……

It was conducted at the Register Office ….
Therefore the Records Office do not hold Register Office marriages
You’ll have to order the certificate through the usual G.R.O. Web Site
Quoting those ref No’s you have given ……..

Sorry …… :'(

Bother! I shall send off for it.

Thanks for finding that out. I had wondered why he married in Leicester when he lived in Syston.  That would be why then.

 The  John that marries Catherine  ,  appears to have  died before 1881  as Catherine   says  she's a widow   on that  census

Right, the certificate was delivered today.  My John who married Catherine was the son of Henry and Sarah.  Luckily Id not gone far back on John's family which I now realise was wrong.

Catherine was the daughter of Thomas Smith who was a police sergeant. 

Im feeling pleased now Im on the right track.. Carol, I will be in touch with you, but Ive got that many tree branches here and there Im trying to make sense of everything.
