Marriage for James Henderson & Mary
« on: Sunday 26 January 14 06:17 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I'm looking for a marriage for a James Henderson (or Anderson) whose wife was called Mary.

James was born 1806 in Sheffield, Mary was born around 1804 in Dover, Kent. They are living in Sheffield in the 1841 & 1851 census. The name Henderson was sometimes given as Anderson.

I've searched for marriages on sheffieldindexers.com, familysearch.org, freereg, ancestry but not found anything. I've also got the marriage index for Sheffield Cathedral and they are not listed on it.

So if anyone can see a marriage for them in Sheffield, or anywhere else in Yorkshire or surrounding area I'd be very grateful.

Thanks  :)

Could be the marriage was in Kent if that was where she was born?

Thanks Millipede, have had a look but can't see any in Dover or Kent area. Think I will have to give up on them for now!

Have you discounted the Dover marriage in December quarter 1838 where the names of James Henderson and Mary Ann Marden Smith appear on the same page? 
Transcriptions and NBI are merely finding aids.  They are NOT a substitute for original record entries.
Remember - "They'll be found when they want to be found" !!!
If you don't ask the question, you won't get an answer.

Thanks BumbleB, yes I've checked that one but it seems the couple James & Mary Ann appear in the census in the following years living in Woolwich, Kent whereas the ones I'm after are definitely in Sheffield by 1841.

Thanks very much for the info though.  :)
