Marriage Look-up- Samuel Southern 1890's **Complete**

[Nichola82]

Hi,

I'm struggling to locate the marriage of Samuel Southern and Mary Eliza Raffort around mid to late 1890s (i believe) and require a little help please.

Here is what i know:

From the birth certificate of my G-Grandfather i know he was born in 1899 in Ardwick, South Manchester.  Father is listed as Samuel Southern, occupation General Laborer. Mother listed as Mary Eliza Southern, formerly Raffortt (I believe... Copy is terrible so it could be a variation of, but defiantly Raff***t).

I have found Mary E and Samuel Southern (baby) on the 1901 census. Mary E is 26 and where born is listed as Lucknow, India and Samuel is 1. They are boarding with another family (Woods) in Prestwich, North Manchester and Father Samuel Southern isn't around, so i guess he died sometime between 1899 and 1901. I have found a couple of deaths registered around this time which might be him.

Any help in locating a marriage would be much appreciated 

Thanks

Hi

Dont know if this is helpful but traced 2 marriages for a Samuel Southern.  Both are Army marriages one taking place 1890 details held on page 90 of the Overseas BMD and the second one on page 119 this marriage took place in 1894.  Both were stationed at Lucknow India.  I would try there to see if you can obtain marriage certs.

Wow, thanks guys. 

I'd completely overlooked the fact that they may have married in India.

That's great, thanks very much
