ST Cuthbert, Carlisle Look-up
« on: Wednesday 29 May 13 18:49 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'm hoping that some kind person can do a look-up for me at one of the four Cumbria Archive Centres.
I am interested in any details available of a marriage at St Cuthberts on 20 Dec 1823 between Thomas Drake and Eliza Anne Drake.  This can be seen at the FamilySearch website but no other details are given, and no image.
I would like as much additional information as is available and an image if possible.

For info: I believe Thomas came from Bristol.  Eliza's maiden name was Mackworth. She was the widow of a Francis Drake (no relation to Thomas Drake), this being her 2nd marriage.

Welcome to Rootschat.
The marriage of Eliza Anne Mackworth to Francis Drake took place on the 7/2/1795 in Marylebone. The second marriage of Eliza to Thomas Drake doesn't give any extra information except to say that the inf came from Northumberland and Durham Family History Society, so I guess that was all there was there to record.
regards.

Hello Paco
Thank you for your interest.
I agree that the actual record may not reveal anything else but I was hoping someone would make an actual check of the St Cuthbert Church records for me.  I live in the South so my chances of being able to do it myself are slim.
Basically I am trying to find more about Thomas Drake. I know he was born c1800 and one record indicates he lived in Bristol.  However I can't find any birth records which match.

Best wishes
