Garrett Chichester m. Catherine Couchman

[LemonChichester]

Not sure of Marriage date however, they had a son born 5/14/1886 or 1887 named Austin Turner Chichester who married Elizabeth Vaughn on 6/12/1888.  I figure the marriage had to be around there.   Primary residence was Schoharie County, NY
Any information is welcome and appreciated.
Oh and also any information like bmd and any other siblings or family would be great

There are'nt any BMD records as such and what is available varies state to state.

Anc..try tree gives the date of death of Garrett H Chichester as 1 June 1903 and the date of his marriage to Catherine as 19 Oct 1856 Broome. New York.
The date of death for Catherine 28 Jun 1904 in Broome, New York.

It also names another child:- Emalet Chichester born 13 Sep 1862
in Broome, Schoharie, New York and died 16 Sept 1865.
