Only the index showing on Ancestry. As far as I can see.

There is a parish register entry - but we cannot show it on the Forum. I have sent the poster a personal message.

Where did you find that, it might be a useful tip for me. 😉

Hi Wilcoxon,
I was actually really lazy - I just looked under 'Marriage and Divorce' - and input the names and date - and eureka -- a copy of the marriage from the church register popped up.
Not sure which actual data set it was under.

Found it , but it didn't show up before. Sometimes Ancestry doesn't make life simple with all the different categories.

Wilcoxon - what do you think the abode of the bride and groom is please? Looks like Friere Barnet but I can't imagine it being that! I am not familiar with the location (as you will probably realise from my Username!)

Friern Barnet

Oh Gosh - thank you Rosie - I would never have got that!

I can't find it again. 😠

It's OK - Rosie deciphered it.
It's under 'Marriages and Divorces' - which, in turn, is under 'Birth, Marriage and Death, including Parish'.

Thanks -- this request has been completed

Yes, Friern Barnet was a new place for me too :-)
Many online trees have John Simmons & Rhoda Barker mixed up / confused with John Avery Simmons & Rhoda Fuller -- 2 totally different couples.
Rhoda Fuller Simmons died 1906 and John Avery Simmons remarried (spelled Overy on marriage cert) in 1907 in Paddington, London to Olive Norah Davies. John and Olive remained in England while the other couple moved to Canada between daughter's birth in 1883 and 1887.
Thanks for all input -- it's much appreciated!!
