Hi,
  Ryedale FH group does a CD of monumental inscriptions.

If you find the grave, let me know as I live in Helmsley and may be able to photograph the grave for you.

Sorry for the delay in replying; I wrote out a long reply yesterday then then the computer crashed    It was so late by then I couldn't bring myself to write it out again!

Thanks for the reply polarbear. I was wondering whether there could be another record somewhere as the signatures are not original on the familysearch image; they're all of the same handwriting. 1857 is completely missing from the ancestry images for that church so I can't compare there.
 Unfortunately they were born in London, and I can't find a definite match for Eleanor in either births/baptisms or pre-marriage censuses using the details from her later censuses (supposedly born abt 1838 in Lambeth)

Thanks again

Hi,
  I found mention of my ggg grandparents' marriage in Quebec in 1857 on a site I had never heard of called http://www.mesaieux.com after googling their names (William Elliott Whitaker and Eleanor Gibson). I have never found this marriage anywhere else and I am really eager to find out Eleanor's parents' names.
I emailed the company to find out what information I would receive if I bought credits, and the reply was a bit confusing, in one email saying -
"Here is the information we have :
-Date, place, husband(parents) m bride (parents)"
but also saying it is not on the database yet as it had been selected by quality assurance control for checking. In a later email when I asked whether this meant I would not be able to buy credits and view this information they replied "It means exactly that. We do not have this information so we cannot help you."
It seemed a bit contradictory that they said they do have the information and then said that they don't. If they plan to add the record at a later date I don't know how I'd be able to tell because it already looks like it's on there, but they say it's not yet available. I would have to keep emailing them and asking if they've put it on yet.
But - they did give me some information further to what's on the site: the place of marriage (Quebec Holy Trinity Anglican) and the date  1857-01-12  (is this 12th Jan rather than 1st Dec?)
Anyway, I don't have a lot of experience researching in Canada, so does anyone have any ideas where else the details of this marriage might be located? I have contacted the church but not as yet received any reply.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Erin

Hi, Thanks to your both for your replies, and apologies in my lateness in responding.
JaneyCanuck - Thanks, I had spotted this transcription of the marriage (badly transcribed on ancestry) I may look into contacting the Terui in Canada today, not sure if they had children, but might be worth a try.
RK - thanks for the lookup. It's a shame nothing came up as it's been useful in the past for me. 20th century Canadian genealogy is so difficult because of the sporadic records and privacy laws. very frustrating, but I'll persist!
Thanks again to both of you
Erin
