I think you're right about the 'official' witnesses.  Perhaps the parents didn't approve of the marriage?  Not quite sure where to try next for Elizabeth. Any thoughts?

Unfortunately there is no father listed for Elizabeth on the marriage certificate.  The witnesses to the marriage are William Holmes and Ephraim Smith and the marriage is at Bradford Parish Church.  James is listed as a shoemaker, son of William, a warehouseman but that is all the info I have.

I have some info on LONGs of Yeadon and Bradford through a relative Jabez LONG b 1821 in Yeadon who married Jane RAWNSLEY.  Some of their family then moved to Shipley.

Any use?

Daniel Jackson and Mary Kitney were married 18/2/1887 and Annie was born 1886/7 so I'm a little confused about the 'long gap'.  James is described as "stationmaster deceased" on Daniel's marriage certificate.

Thanks for your help

Hi Shari. 
Philip White (b 1763) was my 4x great grandfather through his son Mark (1789) and Mark's daughter Rachel (1828) who married William Baker (1834).  William was born in Battle but his father George (1794), a shoemaker, was born in Sandwich,Kent and the rest of the Bakers seem to hail from thereabouts.
I have traced most of Philip's descendants as far as the 1901 census but do not know his exact date of birth or the names &/or dates of birth of his parents.  Likewise I don't know much about Bridget Luckett.  I would be grateful for any help with these aspects.
Let me know if you want info on any of Philip's descendants.  He probably had siblings but, again, I don't know of them.
It's great to find someone else researching the Whites.  I've only just joined Rootschat but I'm already glad I did!!

Regards
Abbey

Tell me about it!  I've tried to find Daniel between 1861 and 1891 by name and by occupation but he too seems to have disappeared!  I know when he died and the age then given tallies with 1861 as a birth date as do the census entries for 1891 and 1901.  I have his marriage and death certificates so he certainly existed!

Many thanks - you seem to have come across the same problems as me!  James Jackson is in the Kelly's Post Office Directory of 1867 as stationmaster at Crawley but where he was before and after that is a mystery!  It wouldn't be so bad if I could find a reference to Daniel's birth but I have trawled through the BMD listings on 1837online with no success.  Not sure what to try next!

Thanks for your efforts.
