Looking for Marriage Details - Parish of Porstea

[valewis64]

Hi I'm hoping someone could shed some light on information contained in a marriage certificate that I received recently. Now the Church I am unable to make out clearly (as it is a copy) however it does state that the copy is from the register of Portsea Island.

The details as far as I can make out from the copy;

1853, Marriage solemnized at "The Church?" in the Parish of Portsea in the County of Hants
No: 350, Oct 12th
John Jenkins, 22yrs, Seaman, HMS Excellent, "Father ?" Jenkins, "Bricklayer?"
Mary Ann Marlow, 23yrs, "Residence?", "Father?" Marlow, "Tailor?"

The marriage was witnessed by Ann Morey and "Unknown?" Morey.

Everything with a ? is too difficult to make out on the copy and I am unsure of the details. I am really after the fathers of both the bride and groom, as this is where I am stuck with my research. Also any other details people have would be much appreciated.

I have John Jenkins' naval records but unfortunately it doesn't have parents details in it either. Also Mary Ann Marlow dies Mary Ann Jenkins on 21st Nov 1896 at Sandown in the sub district of Brading in the County of Isle of Wight aged 66 years.

John Jenkins is still alive at this time and dies in 1908 in the Isle of Wight.

Thanks in advance

We would need to see the unclear bits before having a go at making them out. Can you scan in those sections?

Hi Lizdb,

Thanks for the quick reply, the link to a scan is below but it is 1.5 mb in size unfortunatley. My original post listed what I thought were the actual entries where possible (?), but as I said I hope you guys can help me out with the remaining. If you need the image changed to make it easier to read then let me know what format you would prefer.

Ok just set up a .pdf file for it so this may be a better option;

Looks like "The Church"  in the parish of Porstsea - obviously just the one PArish Church at the time

I'd say her Dad was William, and yes, a tailor

And his, Arthur

Welcome to RootsChat Vicky  

I agree with Liz.

Bride's father William Marlow, John's father's Arthur.

Witnesses Ann Morey and Charles (Cha^s) Morey

[lizdb]

1891
they are on Isle of Wight

He gives place of birth as Gosport age 62 (he is naval Pensioner by now)
and she gives Fordingbridge age 61

Possible for Mary Morley

1851
HO107 1659 851 9
20 yr old servant

Yeah similar to what my husband and I thought, although struggling to find any records of either of them at present. Lots of Arthur Jenkins in Wales which may be where this is going to head. Marlow I'll have to dig some more.

I've edited my previous post to include a .pdf link which allows zoom etc that some may find more useful.

Yeah have John Jenkins details. and have downloaded his naval records from the archives. Looking to expand on his and Mary Anns backgrounds a bit more. So will have to see if there is any birth records for either of them. At the moment I have;

John Jenkins:
Born 15 Nov 1830 in Gosport, Hampshire
Died 1908 in Isle of Wight.
Marriage as per certificate
Farther: Possibly Arthur Jenkins, no mothers details yet.

Mary Ann Marlow:
Born abt 1830 in Fordingbridge, Hampshire
Died 21 Nov 1896, aged 66 yrs in Beulah Villa (?) Leeds Street Sandown, Brading in County of Isle of Wight
Marriage as per certificate
Father: Possibly William Marlow, no mothers details yet.

So going to have to work from there
