House of Commons Sessional Papers
« on: Thursday 25 October 12 16:34 BST (UK) »
Hi
Has anyone experience of House of Commons publications? Can you explain the abbreviation ML used here?

http://www.rootschat.com/links/0ry7/

The publication is dated 1900 but the couple concerned both died in 1852 and I have no idea what the reference is  about I (love Google snippets but it can be very frustrating). The columns are headed: Name, place and occupation/Year/Nature of record/Page
But it makes no sense to me  :(

As background info William Reckitt was a doctor in Lincolnshire, belonged to the Reckitt family who made Reckitt Blue, Coleman's mustard etc.
Anne M Seymour was daughter of George Seymour who lived in Bray, Wicklow. I think the family were shipowners and I am most interested in a possible son George who diversified into mining various stuff.

Thanks for any help.

This is from "1900 [Cd.4] Appendix to the thirtieth report of the Deputy Keeper of the Public Records and Keeper of the State Papers in Ireland. An index to the act or grant books and original wills of the diocese of Dublin from 1800 to 1858."

The columns are:
Name place & occupation
Year
Nature of record
Page

M.L. = marriage license

This actual document is just an index, there is nothing else that would probably help your search, but maybe it will hel locate a record

***Sorry - editing as just saw you already had the column headings :)

OK. So it is probably just something legal to do with her family being from Ireland. Probably they married there as I can't find it in the English records.
Thanks for the help.
