Hi

After searching I managed to locate what I believed was the marriage of my ancestors Samuel Dean and Eliza Oyler at the church of St Martin in the fields Westminster.
However, it transpires that what I uncovered was only the marriage banns. I noticed that, on the same page, the actual dates of marriages for other couples were annotated in the margin, but there is no similar annotation for Samuel and Eliza.

So, I have two questions really: where are the actual registers of the marriages themselves, since I cannot seem to find them for this parish? If anyone has access and can hunt down Samuel and Eliza that would be much appreciated. I'm desperately hoping to find out who his father was.

The second question: if the is no marriage annotation, does that mean the registrar forgot to go back and make the note, or did the marriage not occur or could it have occurred elsewhere? If anyone has experience with similar issues, I'd be interested to hear about it.

All I know of my ancestors is that Eliza originated in Winchelsea, had an illegitimate child with Samuel, who is described as being from Hastings in the bastardy exam papers, and then they appeared in Hull in the 1830s with a number of other children, one of whom was born in London.
Samuel was a stone mason and only appeared in the 1841 census (working on a restoration project in Roos) before dying of consumption in 1845. I therefore have no specific info on his origin other than 'Hastings' and no evidence of a Samuel Dean born in that area around 1803.  So, I'm depending on that marriage entry!

Many thanks in advance for any help

Hi
I'm trying to locate a chap called John Welburn (b. 1869 in England), his wife Alice (1873, England) and son Clarence (1898, England).

I've established that they entered Quebec on 1 May 1909, after crossing on the SS Corsican, and that they subsequently settled in Moose Jaw (1911 census).
I also know that John died in 1964, and Clarence in 1985, near Vancouver. I have no idea of what happened to Alice, but I do know that Clarence married a woman from North Dakota (Hannah Marie Lindman, 1904-1983) - although I have no info about any children.

A first step to tracing their lives would be to locate them in the 1916 census of Saskatechewan.
If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Andrew

I have a general query about health provision in Hull and availability of records from the 1940s.
In particular I'd like to know about any clinics which dealt with sexual health (VD clinics basically) and any asylums.
Would these places have kept patient records? Where might I find out about individuals who were treated in these places?
Lastly, if a mother wanted to 'dump' her child, for whatever reason, in the mid 1940s are there any children's homes or hospitals where this was done?

Thanks

Andrew

Fantastic, thankyou!

Just need the marriage now.

Cheers
