Would you be able to look up, please, the marriage of James Farncis Maynard and Elizabeth Veronica Clegg? It would have taken place between 1926 and 1930. Thanks.

Hi there,

is there any chance you could find a date of marriage for me please when you next go up to the Lancs Record Office?  I am looking for a marriage date for John Pennington (born Ellel, around 1785.  He married someone called Jane (surname unknown) and she was from Pilling. I am guessing that the marriage took place between 1806-1816 (their first child was born 1816-Dinah Pennington in Heysham.

If you could find anything out for me I would be really grateful since I have been stuck on this for months and months and months!

Thanks

Hi Robert
I think I may have sorted a bit of your query ,on the reference for Robert Marrs marriage there is also a Mary McCarten-a Mary Robinson married a McCarten in the June qtr 1876 ref Liverpool 8b 179--I think this is her.
You cannot look up the marriages  from these references at the Lancashire Records Office you have to get the certificates .if you have details of the churches you can then look them up.
Hope this has helped a bit

Hi, What a wonderful person you are!  Especially when I live down in Oxfordshire and our families seem to come from every part of Britain.
I wonder if you could be so kind and have the time to lookup a baptism of a Lavinia McDonald born c1861 in Manchester.  Her fathers name was Peter McDonald from Ireland.  I have searched for a birth registration for Lavinia, to no avail.  The above information was from the 1871 census (they were then living in Bradford, Yorks) and apart from that I can find nothing else on Lavinia.  I am fairly certain that the mothers name would have been Margaret.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you, Kath

Thanks very much for looking for this and apologies for not updating sooner. I managed to get the marriage certificate of Robert Marr and Mary McCarten. As you suspected she was formerly married as her father's name was Edward Robinson. I'll now purchase the marriage certificate of Thomas McCarten and Mary Robinson to see if this uncovers any more clues.

Thanks again for your help.  When you talk of the churches would this give me any additional information to what is on the marriage certificate?

Dorothy,

If you have time would you be able to check something for me please? I'm trying to find out who Mary Robinson's parent's were. I know her father was Edward Robinson but not who her mother was. As there were a large number of Mary Robinson's born in the Liverpool area between 1858 to 1860 I cannot purchase all of the certificates to check as it would be too costly.

I've trawled the 1861 and 1871 censuses to find her but cannot confirm her on them. I found one family in 1861 that appears to fit the bill, the mother was Catharine Robinson, but they do not appear in the 1871 census.

My best bet would be from the death records as there are less Mary Marr. Mary Marr (formerly Robinson and McCarten) appears in the 1891 census in Kirkdale, Lancashire with husband Robert. On 6th April 1897 Robert Marr died in Lanark, Scotland and the certificate states he was a widower of Mary Robinson. So I know she died between 1891 and 1896. As the Scotland's People site allows you to check on other names I have been able to confirm that she did not die in Scotland. Most likely she died in Lancashire during this 6 year period.

After searching the death indexes I can see only 1 possible candidate. The age though looks wrong:

Mary Ellen Marr, 32 years old, died in Q3 of 1894 in West Derby, Lancashire.
 
According to the 1891 census she was 31 and her age at marriage in 1880 confirms that is correct. It would appear not to be her but it's the only match I can see. The two kids they had are found living with their grandmother in the 1891 census.

I'm not sure if entry is something you can check and if you can whether it would give you any further information but thought I would ask anyway.

Thanks

Robert

 :)Hi Dotty,

I've sent you a couple of personal emails but to be honest I'm not sure if they have reached you.  If they have, my apologies for repeating this request here. 

You were very kind enough to give me the marriage details for John and Jane Pennington.  I wonder if you could help me out again?  I am trying to find out the date of death for Jane Pennington so that I can send off for her will.  I know she was alive in the 1871 census but in the 1881 census there is no trace of her.  The 1871 census shows her age as 76 and she is classed as an annuitant. With this in mind I can conclude that she died between 1871 and 1881.  I would be really grateful if you could have a look at the will index to see if there is a trace of her will.

Finally, is there any chance that you could have a look at the Ellel parish records for me please.  What I am looking for are the baptist details for John Pennington (born around 1785); Lawrence Pennington (born around 1796) and James Pennington (born around 1796).   Thank you.  I am very grateful for your help.

Best wishes

Dianer
