In my tree I have the parents of Ann Robson my 4 times great grandmother, as George Robson and Elizabeth Barley, Ann married George Smith on 18Th February 1817 in Loftus North Yorkshire.
Now a Cousin of mine who is also doing the family tree, says this information is wrong, she says Ann surname was Robinson not Robson and her parents were George Robinson and Elizabeth Oughtred.
I do not have any subscriptions to any on line ancestry sites, so can anyone advise me on were i might be able to check the marriage in Loftus in 1817, to see if the bride was called Robson or Robinson.

The actual marriage image is available to view on FindMyPast. It does record her surname as ROBSON. Both George and Ann signed with an X
SS

Thank you so it looks like my information is correct with the name Robson.

The problem is that as she did not sign the register you can never be 100% sure. Her speech may not have been that clear or the clergy's hearing that good and that is what the clergy thought she said. Did they have any children after birth registration started :-\
