Furlonger Marriage

[irisj]

Can anyone help me please. I have been searching for the marriage of Henry Furlonger & Elizabeth Davison. They lived in Alnwick. Henry worked at the Castle. Their son William was born on 7th July 1848. I think that he was their firstborn. I have his certificate that states his mother,s name as formerly Elizabeth Davison. I have spent many hours trying to find this marriage & so if anyone can help I would be very very grateful.

I see that Henry (re)married to Mary Younger Marshall in Alnwick in 1855.

Perhaps he and Elizabeth either never actually married, or had a Scottish border marriage?

Has Elizabeth's death been found?

This presumably is likely to be the death: Elizabeth Furlonger, Mar qtr 1855 Alnwick 10b 189.

An Elizabeth Davison married Jun qtr 1846 Alnwick -she might be worth following up in case something went wrong with her first marriage and (if the same person) she was not free to marry Henry Furlonger.

Thank you all for your help.
Elizabeth died in childbirth in the 1st qtr 1855. Henry remarried Mary Younger Marshall 10 Novermber 1855. On the marriage it states that Henry was a widower. I will have a look @ the 1846 marriage index.

It was a border marriage, no certificates, the marriage noted in a Berwick newspaper and also the Henry Collins registers.  I don't know if those registers are available in Edinburgh or not but it would be just a ledger item without other information.

So no parental information but you take take comfort that they were married.  They could have probably married in England no matter the religion or in a register office but I think at one time it was "exciting " to run off and get married.  Folks in my area went to Winchester Virginia where there is no waiting period and 16 year olds can get married without parental permission.
