Hi could anybody help me please with the marriage date for WILLIAM ANDERSON born 1847 in NORTH CAVE Yorkshire.
Thank You David.
-
Have you found him on a census with a wife?
Did he have children? If so when and where was eldest born?
These sorts of things will narrow down when and where he may have married, and thus aid any search for a marriage. As well as confirm, if a marriage for that name was found, whether or not it is likely to be the right person!
-
You presumably have him on the 1881 census where he is shown as married to Mary and eldest child is 11
However - Mary was b Worksop Notts so they may not have married in Yorkshire.
You would be best buying a copy of one of the childrens birth certs to get her maiden name
1881 shows Henry was aged 9 and b Liverpool and also a dtr Elizabeth b 1874 b Liverpool
Births June qtr 1872
Henry Anderson West Derby 8b 253

Freebmd has an 1868 marriage in Notts for a William Anderson - one of the females on the same page is Mary Hall
1869 in Notts - William Henry Anderson but 2 possible spouses both called Mary Ann
1870 Leeds - William Goodall Anderson with a Mary Sirrs on the same page
You are not going to know which marriage it was without getting a birth cert to get her maiden name

The 1868 marriage is not the one as this William m Elizabeth Auckland in Ordsall.
There's another possible in Notts -- 1867, South Leverton, William Anderson and Mary Brown.
S Leverton is not particularly close to Worksop!
Norton Cuckney, in Notts, is 1/2way between Worksop and Warsop.
Another possibility might be Norton which is nowadays part of Sheffield but back then was in Derbyshire -----
-
That 1870 Leeds marriage is looking good given that there is a "Surr" lodging with them in 1871 ---
-
There's only 1 William Sirr/Syre/Surr/Siers b around 1851 in Herefordshire in the censuses and guess where in Herefordshire he was born?
Norton Canon :)
------- but no sister Mary in the censuses >:(
-
I also wondered about that connection but the 1871 and 1881 both give Notts as her birthplace but there is nothing under Sirrs or Surrs in 1861
-
No suitable Mary "Surr" (or anything similar) baptisms in the Norton/Worksop areas in Notts in the appropriate time period.
-
The only safe solution to Mary's maiden name is a copy of a birth cert. Anything else is guesswork and there is then a danger you could end up researching the wrong family
