Hi
     I have checked for the marriage on all the free BMD indexes
without finding a match, you now need to search the GRO index most large county libraries have a copy, and of course the GRO at Kew, if that is not conveniant then you can search it online at

https://www.1837online.com/Trace2web/index.html

it does cost, but could be cheaper than going to the records office.
If you find out where they married and need help with the census's please get back to us.

Hi Peter,

Thank you for looking up Graham, l had tried Freebmd and like you found nothing also tried the years at 1837 online to no avail. l live in Australia so can not go to the places you suggested. Was at a loss to know where to go  next.

Searching for any CORBETT in Stockport, Heaton Norris and Stalybridge. I now that I have a few CORBETT ancestors who have eluded me so far in Stockport & Heaton Norris. I do not have access to the 1841 census of these areas, so any help would be appreciated.

Also, 1861 census of Stockport ...William Corbett, born Ireland in 1804/5. Known to have died in Stockport in 1864. Lived with his wife Mary and children. His sons were getting married at St Thomas's Church, Stockport 1870 onwards.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for looking into the names Fulford and Graham.

My grandmother Lilian Fulford was 76 when she died in 1968 so that means born 1892, would make her 9years.

My grandfather John Graham was 73 when he died in 1960 so that means born 1887, would make him 14/15.

My mother was Lilian May so the lilian comes down the line also the John as her elder brother.

Would you be able to send me the census 1901 details on
John Graham 15 father Robert mother Magaret
and Lilian Fulford  l just don't know.

l did a search on BMDindex for the marriage l covered years 1909 to 1913 all quarters with nothing. Maybe they married in Ireland? big puzzle and l am just not seeing the pieces.

Your time is much appreciated.

Hi Tarnee
               1901 census for John Graham

RG13-3759-F 21 Oldham Road Newton Manchester

Robert Graham 39 coach builder born Ireland
Margaret Graham 38                            Ireland
John Graham 15 cabinet maker            Ireland   
Richard Graham 13                               Manchester 
Thomas Graham 10                              Manchester
Robert Graham 6                                  Manchester
Charles Graham 4                                Manchester

without the marriage certificate I am guessing that you obtained the maiden name for Lillian Fulford from your mothers birth certificate ? if so have you considered that Lillian may have been married before so when marrying John Graham she may not have been a Fulford  just a thought

good luck

Hi Peter,

Many thanks for that info on Graham, your correct l did get Fulford from mom's birth Certificate, mom had 2 brothers one was older, not sure on the other one, so l don't think she was married before. Thank you once again for the help, much appreciated.
