COMPLETED - Marriage Lookup Request (Christiana Charlotte Wright)

[llysfaen]

In 1842, at the age of 25, Christiana Charlotte Wright (Charlotte Wright was her most used name), born at Castor, married my GGGgrandfather, Maurice Wileman at Peterborough.

I found her on the 1841 Census at the address of John & Rebecca Freeman.
It caused me to wonder if she had married before (could be John's relative, and therefore a 'Freeman', or was Rebecca's relative and therefore a 'Wright').

If her birth surname was Freeman, then she must have married a Mr Wright (forgive the pun), and to help eliminate possibilities, I wondered if there might be someone willing and able to do a lookup for such a marriage at Castor and Peterborough before 1837, either as Charlotte Freeman or as Christiana Freeman.

Thank you for your interest and assistance in this matter...

Hi Steven,

Are you sure the Charlotte WRIGHT living wth the Freemans is the right one?

The IGI has an entry for,

Christiana Charlotte WRIGHT Chr. 21 Feb 1819 Castor
Father; William WRIGHT
Mother; Frances

I can find a William and Frances WRIGHT with a daughter Charlotte age 23 in Paston.

I realise the age is slightly out, but you don't mention how you know her age at the time of her marriage, I'm assuming it's not from the marriage certificate or you would know if she was a widow, and the name of her father.

Let me know if you want the 1841 details,

Regards
Daisy

Thank you so very much for your time and effort, Daisy!

I know her marriage age from her age at the 1851 Census.
The ages of her children were exact in both censuses in which they are mentioned, so I leaned to the belief that her age was also accurate (though by no means a certainty).

I much prefer 'your' Charlotte, as it is very unlikely that there were two Christiana Charlotte Wrights born in Castor during the same relatively short window of time.

Again I thank you, Daisy!

Hi Steven,

Thanks for the hug  looks like I can only make my face pink

The Marriage cert. of Maurice and Christiana Charlotte would help make this more definite, do you need the Ref. ?

Also have you seen Maurice in 1841, it seems he may have been married before?

Regards

I shall send for the Marriage Certificate immediately!

Yes, Maurice was married several times, I'm told.
Some people are gluttons for punishment!

Thank you again, Daisy.
You've been wonderful.
