Thanks rosie99 and Sandra. That's very helpful. So rosie99, when you say they weren't married by license, there was no marriage license/document? Would the church not require a license? Sorry for all the questions....

Thankyou so much, rosie99. Forgive my ignorance but what exactly does "Banns - bride made her mark" mean? Thanks again.

Thanks very much warncoort and KGarrad. I have had limited success with that Genuki site. All it gave me was a one liner under Alston marriages 1813-1837 listing William Featherston's marriage to Isabella Hornsby. I'll keep digging though. Thanks again.

Cumberland / Featherstons of Alston
« on: Wednesday 05 October 16 02:32 BST (UK) »
Long time since I've posted...I hope I remember how. Anyways, I'm anxious to see if anyone can help me find information on my third great grandfather William Featherston, born 1802 in Alston. He married Isabella Hornsby on April 29, 1827 in Alston and emigrated to Canada shortly afterwards. I'm really interested in any information on William, his siblings, parents etc. and his time in England not Canada. I don't know how big Alston would have been at the time but is there any way of telling which church they would have been married in? I believe both William and Isabella were Anglican. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Patycake. I'm so sorry if you've been trying to get in touch with me. I haven't checked my email for a while since I was getting no activity on it. Would you like me to connect again?

Hi Patycake.
Sorry to hear you have had difficulty with the Schweitzer/Peralta search as well. I'd dearly love to get a copy of the baptismal certificate for Hannah that you have. I'm going to send you a PM is that's o.k.

Sorry, missed that you were looking for the occupation of the bride's and not groom's father.
