Cheshire / Re: Cheshire Parish Records Marriages only pre 1837
« on: Tuesday 04 March 08 09:05 GMT (UK) »Hi,
I was wondering if you could look up the following for me, i'm not sure if they were married in cheshire or lancashire but if you could let me know if they come up in cheshire that would be brilliant!
Pietro Gaspare Bordessa born c. 1800
Elizabeth ? born c. 1806
Pietro's name was often misspelt so if you could also look for alternatives such as:
Peter
Gasper
Gaspar
Bordesa
Bordefa
Bordeffa
I'm afraid i don't know Elizabeth's surname.
Another marriage I'm looking for is between William James Bordessa and Jane Taylor. I dont know any dates for this one however.
Thank you for any help you can offer,
Cheers
Nina
Hi Nina and a warm welcome to Rootschat,
I've checked the indexes for Pietro's marriage, but there is nothing close to Bordessa as a surname. Most of the indexes cover Anglican churches only, perhaps they were Catholic or non Conformist.
However, there is a marriage on www.cheshirebmd.org.uk:
William J BORDESSA m Jane TAYLOR Chester Civil Marriage 1849
And:
Mariea M BORDESSA m John R O'HAGAN Chester Civil Marriage 1858
You would need to send for the certificates to get the details either by post from the Local Register Office via the above site, or from the GRO using the reference from www.freebmd.org.uk (Mar 1849 Gt Boughton 19 69)
Hope this helps,
Jean
Hi Jean,
Thank you for trying for me, much appreciated! Yes they were quite possibly catholic as Pietro came over to the uk from Italy.
and thank you for the other two, they were his children! i'll have to have a look at those websites and see what else i can find!
thank you,
Nina
