Thank you Doug for this suggestion - in fact thank you for reminding me that this post is still open as I have now found the marriage record and should have closed it out - but I hadn't thought of a Svetlana!

Norfolk / Re: CHAMBERS marriage record Norwich 1770s
« on: Thursday 04 July 13 02:24 BST (UK) »
Many thanks Carole for this wonderfully helpful bit of information! It has sent me scurrying to the Parson Woodforde Society's website but I see there are any number of editions and versions of this marvellous source of information. Do you imagine there might be more to find about my Chambers and Wilsons if I get a copy of a relevant volume - or have you already been able to reference a reasonably comprehensive version? I would be interested to know the reference you have used for my future reference, if you wouldn't mind passing it on.
Thank you also for alerting me to John Wilson's will of 1781 which i am keen to get a copy of but am rather perplexed by NROCAT's direction as to how I go about this ie it says 'Make a note of the Catalogue Ref and Date and use microfilm MF 448'. Are you able to tell me if it is only (physically) in the NRO that I can access this record or if there are other - preferably online - alternatives?
Thanks so much Carole for this assistance. NSWelshwoman

Norfolk / CHAMBERS marriage record Norwich 1770s
« on: Wednesday 08 May 13 05:22 BST (UK) »
I would much appreciate help in finding a marriage record for CHARLES CHAMBERS who christened 2 sons in Norwich in the 1770s- Charles (1776 at Southgate) and William (1779 at St Etheldreda). The mother on the christening records is AMY.
William later married the vicar's daughter from Lyng (at St Mathews in the Field, Middlesex in 1800) and William was also said to be from Lyng, where their first child was born in 1801 - so perhaps there was a family link with Lyng, but I do not know how far back it might have gone and hence whether it would have been relevant to the 1770s marriage location.

I have been out of the picture for a few hours and how far we have moved along! This Lana Coates is certainly an elusive lady.......I do know quite a lot about her husband John - just not about his wife!! - and I think it most unlikely he would have used middle names etc for his marriage registration.
It seems we have rather exhausted the possibilities of finding a birth record for a Lana - or any other variation of this name. Perhaps it was a "pet name" she adopted that was unrelated to her birth name which then makes tracking it nigh on impossible, as all her other records would be in Russia - and hence relatively inaccessible.
But thank you very much indeed Aghhadowey, Loobyloo and Monica for putting so much effort into this search, I really appreciate it. It certainly confirms why i never got anywhere with this!!!

I had just written out a whole spiel in response to recent questions and lost it! But in summary - can't scan the writing as it has a very pronounced background. But magnifying it all I am now sure it is LANA COATES. All the other words I have included in previous posts.
I had also zeroed in on JI Thornycroft (the name on the photo is definitely Thornicroft) and thought him - or someone in his family - to be very prospective. I had also noted his marriage wasn't to a Coates but I do think it quite possible that Blanche Ada's name may have been mispelled as the name Coules is so close. Perhaps I need to find her birth record......
I also note that the Chairman of the J&P Coats Co at the time of their expansion into Russia was an Archibald Coates/Coats who I imagine would have lived in Glasgow or perhaps Paisley (Renfrewshire) - I do not know anything about his children but maybe this is another possibility.....
Thanks so much Aghadowey, Monica and Loobyloo - you are wonderful!!

And your help in doing this exploration is very much appreciated Aghadowey. To try and glean more details I have returned to the original information and note that Lorna could in fact be LANA Coats/Coates. I have also discovered that she had a sister (unfortunately not named) but who married a Mr Thornicroft of the engineering firm "now called Metropolitan Vickers"". I don't know if any of this will help......

Yes Loobyloo, Lorna is certainly a difficult one to come up with other possible versions/variations.
Aghadowey - the information on the back of the photo indicates he married in St Petersburg. The Dorset post reflects an early version of what we thought.
